kidney transplant journey

Client Overview

Our client sought to understand the complete sequence of touchpoints throughout the kidney transplant process - from initial organ identification through retrieval, transport, preparation, and final implantation. To gain comprehensive insights into this complex journey, they needed to capture the views and experiences of key stakeholders across the US, including kidney transplant surgeons, perfusionists, and representatives from Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs).

Client Overview

Our client sought to understand the complete sequence of touchpoints throughout the kidney transplant process - from initial organ identification through retrieval, transport, preparation, and final implantation. To gain comprehensive insights into this complex journey, they needed to capture the views and experiences of key stakeholders across the US, including kidney transplant surgeons, perfusionists, and representatives from Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs).

The Challenge:

The client required comprehensive insights into the kidney transplant journey to inform their product development strategy. Specifically, they needed to:

  • Map the complete transplant process from organ retrieval to implantation

  • Understand interaction points between devices, HCPs, and support staff

  • Identify potential workflow disruptions and opportunities for optimization

  • Evaluate competitive solutions in real-world settings

The Solution:

ClariMed designed and executed a multi-stakeholder research program targeting key decision-makers and users across US transplant centers. We conducted in-depth interviews with:

  • 5 kidney transplant surgeons

  • 16 perfusionists

  • 4 Organ Procurement Organizations (OPO) managers

Our methodology combined online interviews with interactive visualization tools, enabling participants to:

  • Map their operating room configurations

  • Document workflow patterns

  • Demonstrate device interaction points

  • Identify efficiency challenges and opportunities

The Results:

Our research provided the client with comprehensive insights into the kidney transplant process through three key areas:

Transplant Journey Mapping

  • Detailed understanding of who interacts with the kidney throughout its journey

  • Precise documentation of how these interactions occur at each stage

  • Clear mapping of where in the process these interactions take place, from retrieval through transplant

Personnel Experience

  • Identified critical pain points experienced by transplant teams

  • Uncovered specific challenges in current preservation methods

  • Highlighted opportunities for workflow improvement through product innovation

Competitive Landscape

  • Gained deep insights into competitor product performance

  • Understood current market limitations and gaps

  • Identified key features needed for market differentiation

Conclusion:

Our research provided actionable insights that directly informed our client's product development strategy. The findings enabled evidence-based decisions about design features, workflow integration, and market positioning - helping ensure their innovation would meet real clinical needs while offering clear advantages over existing solutions.
