Separate the user, buyer, and reviewer
Map the current workflow and identify who performs the task, who approves adoption, and who is affected by errors. Distinguish an administrative tool from a product intended to influence care; the actual use and market need professional assessment.
- Where does the workflow become slow or confusing?
- What evidence would the intended buyer need?
- What information is necessary for the task?
- Who must approve a trial before it begins?
Design a bounded evaluation
For an administrative workflow, a pilot might examine scheduling handoffs or task completion with appropriately permitted data. Define scope, supervision, stopping conditions, and support. Do not infer clinical benefit from usability feedback or a technical demonstration.
Bring qualified expertise in early
Seek relevant clinical, operational, privacy, and regulatory expertise for the actual product and jurisdiction. This page offers business discovery questions only. It does not give medical advice or establish safety, clinical effectiveness, or compliance.
Questions, answered.
Can a positive pilot prove a health product is safe?
No. A pilot answers only the questions it was properly designed and authorized to evaluate. Safety and clinical claims require appropriate evidence and qualified review.
