Map the technologies
We assessed technologies that measure UTI risk factors through primary and secondary research.
Case Study · Strategic Roadmap
Predicting infections before they start.
A medical products manufacturer wanted to build a system that predicts urinary tract infections, but had limited sensor experience. We mapped the technologies, spoke with potential users and tested whether demand justified entry.
The Client
The client is a global medical products manufacturer. It wanted to predict infection risk for patients who may not feel symptoms.
The Challenge
New field.
Check before you build.
Prescouter was asked to assess the sensor technologies needed for a predictive system for urinary tract infections and to gauge real market demand before the client entered the space.
-
Sensors
Risk measurement
Tracking key UTI risk factors.
-
Users
Product needs
What users expect from a system.
-
Demand
Market value
Whether users would value it.
Our Approach
Mapping the technology, then asking the users.
User interviews
Directuser interviews
Ask the users
Potential users told us the product traits they need and how much value they would see.
Roadmap
12weeks of research
Plan the build
We set out strategies and partners for developing a predictive infection system.
The Outcome
Strong demand and partners ready.
Prescouter showed that strong development partners exist for a predictive UTI system and that market demand would be strong. The findings gave the client a clear basis for its next development steps.
-
Partners
Strong partners found
Ready to help develop the system.
-
Demand
Strong market demand
Confirmed with potential users.
-
Next step
Clear next steps
A basis for development.
New entrants in digital health need both the right partners and real demand. Testing both early lowers the risk of building alone.
