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 Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
74
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.
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.
