We are undertaking a mixed methods study to identify stakeholders’ perspective on the value of a tele-health wheelchair service for people with neuromuscular conditions. We are seeking participants with health technology experience within New Zealand health systems for interviews on their perspectives related to technology design, digital infrastructure readiness, and data management (including privacy and confidentiality) of a telehealth wheelchair assessment service. No knowledge of wheelchair and seating assessment is required.

If you or someone in your organization would have insights and wants to participate there are two options:

A survey can be completed here. May take 20-30 minutes

Interviews will occur via Zoom videoconferencing and last between 20-60 minutes during November 2019. This study has been funded by the Neuro Muscular Research New Zealand and has been reviewed and approved by the University of Otago Human Ethics Committee, (Health) (ref: H19/046).

The full Participant Information Sheet is available here. A consent form is available here.

For further information about the study, or if you wish to participate, please email Dr. Fiona Graham, Lead Investigator, Email: Fi.graham@otago.ac.nz. Or please contact co-investigator Assoc Prof Rebecca Grainger (me, CILN member) Rebecca.Grainger@otago.ac.nz

Hi Rebecca,

We have started using Telehealth in our Spinal Unit at CM Health. I have sent this on to our Telehealth Coordinator who can hopefully get this message out to
this group for you.

Cheers Jenny

For those of you unaware we have a MOH supported Telehealth Leadership group, check us out: https://www.telehealth.org.nz/. I’ve spread this message around the group and should go up on the webpage soon :grinning:

Would be FANTASTIC if anyone thinking about completing this survey could jump on do it in the next 2 weeks
Thanks
Rebecca
