Case and Use Scenario Study to Gain Knowledge on the User Needs for a Medical Device for Hemophilia A Monitoring

April 12, 2024 updated by: Enzyre B.V.

This observational study consists of two parts.

In part one, case scenario focus groups with hemophilia A patients and healthcare providers (HCPs) will be held. This parts aims to identify potential use scenarios of a point of care (POC) in vitro medical for patients with hemophilia A. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • How is coagulation lab testing for patients with hemophilia A currently organized?
  • What is the interest and what are desired alternatives of a POC in-vitro diagnostic medical device for patients with hemophilia A?

Part two of the study consists of a use scenario study in which patients with hemophilia A and HCPs will evaluate two types of non-functional mock-ups of a POC in vitro medical device. The main goal of this part is to evaluate the usability of the current prototypes of the POC device.

Study Population

Patients or caregivers of patients with hemophilia A of any severity (mild, moderate, severe) aged 12 years and older are considered. Patients have tbe able to speak English and have give informed consent. In patients ages 12-17, parents will also have to give informed consent. Patients are not allowed to participate in both the use scenarios and the case scenarios parts of the study.

Healthcare providers specialized in hemophilia care are also included. This could be hematologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistents, nurses and pharmacists.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Hemophilia A patients - case scenario focus groups
60 patients with hemophilia A aged 12 years and older that partake in the case scenario focus groups
Participants fill in a questionnaire on the current care of hemophilia A and envisioned use scenarios of a point-of-care diagnostic device for hemophilia A.
Participants partake in focus groups on the current care for hemophilia A, the envisioned use scenarios of point-of-care diagnostic device for hemophilia A and desired features of such a diagnostic device.
Healthcare providers - case scenario focus groups
30 healthcare providers with experience in the field of hemophilia A that partake in the case scenario focus groups
Participants fill in a questionnaire on the current care of hemophilia A and envisioned use scenarios of a point-of-care diagnostic device for hemophilia A.
Participants partake in focus groups on the current care for hemophilia A, the envisioned use scenarios of point-of-care diagnostic device for hemophilia A and desired features of such a diagnostic device.
Hemophilia A patients - use scenarios
6 patients with hemophilia A aged 12 years and older that partake in the use scenarios usability evaluation
Participants are asked to perform basic tasks with the mock-ups with minimal instructions, they will also be given a graphic of the user interface (GUI).
The participants will be interviewed and asked for their opinions and experiences with the mock-ups.
