SESSION 6 (OF 7): Research on Human Subjects: patients, volunteers, users and public
Clinical evidence on the safety and effectiveness of health innovations is key in their implementation. It is important to assess whether the risks of use are in reasonable proportion to the expected benefits. This asks for a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the clinical benefit against the clinical risks, including undesirable side effects, in the target group and indication. Evidence can come from various sources however often human subject research has to be performed. The Scientific Research involving Human Subject Act (in Dutch: WMO) is applicable to this type of research. This workshop will give an introduction to this legislation and corresponding procedures.
The purpose of the Workshop Series
This practical workshop series is available for everyone within Twente University that is involved in health technologies. These workshops are relevant for everyone in medical technology, eHealth, in-vitro applications, public health, wellbeing, home care or lifestyle.
This series is practical in nature and tailored to the needs within the University. During the workshops you will learn about regulations, documentation, how to successfully implement your innovation, research on human subjects, research data management and privacy. The workshop are hands-on with easy to use templates so you have everything you need to get started. This documentation is tremendously important if you intend to test your innovation on humans, license it or start a company. The earlier you start building it, the easier it becomes.
