Last week members of the RAT group heard more about the
clinical measurement of the individual, with a presentation from RAT and CATCH member, Dr Katherine Easton.
Katherine is currently working with Longhand Data Ltd on a
funded Industrial Research Sabbatical to further industrial collaborations with
the University. Katherine explained the principles of measurement (n of 1)
behind TELER (Treatment Evaluation by A.A.Le Roux, Le Roux, 1993).
The method of measurement has been successfully applied to
many areas of healthcare over the past 20 years, including psychotherapy, wound
care and paediatrics, allowing clinicians to more accurately monitor and treat
patients in a personalised manner. Members of RATs and CATCH are currently
exploring how TELER could help evaluate and determine the clinical significance
of devices and interventions in instances where populations and sample sizes
are limited.
Please contact Dr. Katherine Easton on k.a.easton@sheffield.ac.uk or 0114 222 0690 if you would like to know more
about TELER including academic evidence or Industrial Sabbatical funding as a
means to collaboration with the University of Sheffield.
