The objective of this paper is to assist developers of medical sensors to better formulate the clinically relevant design criteria and required performance characteristics of their novel sensor based on an understanding of how these devices will be used by physicians. Sensor technologies play a central role in medicine, and the most critical aspect of the sensor’s clinical utility relates to these design decisions. Clinically, sensors are used by health care providers to make both diagnostic and management decisions, and the sensors that aid in these decisions are evaluated by certain clinical, as well as analytical, criteria. Failure to adequately address these end-user requirements can lead to the development of sensors without clinical utility.

用于疾病诊断和管理的医疗传感器：医师的观点

本文的目的是在了解医生如何使用这些设备的基础上，帮助医疗传感器的开发人员更好地制定临床相关的设计标准和新型传感器的所需性能特征。传感器技术在医学中起着核心作用，并且传感器临床实用性的最关键方面与这些设计决策有关。在临床上，医疗保健提供者使用传感器来做出诊断和管理决策，并且通过某些临床以及分析标准来评估有助于这些决策的传感器。无法充分满足这些最终用户的要求会导致开发没有临床实用性的传感器。
