How do lay people come to trust the Automatic External Defibrillator?

A National Study of Breast and Colorectal Cancer Patients‘ Decision-Making for Novel Personalized Medicine Genomic Diagnostics

“…These results can inform clinical practice about specific molecular genomic diagnostics and policy discussions about issues related to the development of further molecular diagnostics and reimbursement strategies [37][38][39]. Furthermore, our data challenges the assumption, not infrequently observed in other more general studies of patient preferences and attitudes, that patients do not care about technical aspects of treatments [40][41][42].…”

Validation of a trust in medical technology instrument

“…Timmons, Harrison et al (2008) conducted a study of trust in medical technologies, where their primary research questions was ‘how do lay users come to trust automatic external defibrillators’. They found that when confronted with using an unfamiliar medical technology; users’ trust in the technology is constructed through a combination of trust in the technology, people and institutions.…”

Patients User Experiences with Technologies in Health Service Industry

“…The importance of lay person's understanding and trust in medical technologies has also made. Researchers have explored lay people's trust in their abilities to use publicly available lifesaving technologies such as automatic external defibrillators and found that lay person's perceptions of trust are important to how and when technologies are used [11]. The notion of a passive user of a technology has been explored in previous research in obstetrics [1,12,].…”

“…Studies of laypersons interactions with health technologies have been conducted [11], but research on these types of users is still underexplored. We use a participatory approach to understand technologies used in health care services of which passive users are of consideration.…”
