Abstract

This chapter explores the intersection of medical technology (MedTech) and digital learning, focusing on how these fields empower healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients. As MedTech devices become increasingly complex, the need for effective device training grows. Systems theory is used to highlight how knowledge transfer bridges the gap between these technologies and their users. The discussion covers digital training for HCPs, with an emphasis on the rise of online enablement education. Interviews with specialty surgeons reveal a strong demand for case-based, on-demand training that fits seamlessly into their workflows. In addition, the chapter examines patient education, addressing the need for accessible, patient-centric content. Studies underscore the value of adaptive instructional design tailored to individual needs. Patient- and HCP-focused instructional design offers significant opportunities to enhance the adoption and effective use of MedTech devices. By leveraging evolving digital tools, MedTech companies can improve both professional training and patient engagement, ultimately leading to better health outcomes.
