This public workshop provided a venue for stakeholders to examine gaps in knowledge and other barriers that hinder the advancement of a science of patient input (SPI) in medical product research and development (R&D), with consideration of downstream regulatory and post-market decision-making. Subject matter experts representing a range of disciplines examined the state of SPI, explored gaps in the knowledge base and other barriers impeding progress, and discussed potential components of a research agenda for addressing gaps or barriers to realizing a science of patient input.
