Responses revealed four main themes: use, data presentation, barriers to use and future development. Flexifoot data were recognised as capable of enhancing information exchange between clinicians and patients, and also between clinicians themselves. Participants supported the use of feedback for rehabilitation, screening and evaluation of treatment progress\/success purposes. Flexifoot use by patients was encouraged as a self-management tool that may motivate them by setting attainment goals. The data interface should be secure, concise and visually appealing. The measured parameters of Flexifoot, its duration of wear and frequency of data output would all depend on the rationale for its use. The clinicians and patients must collaborate to optimise the use of Flexifoot for long-term monitoring of disease for patient care in clinical practice. Many identified potential other uses for Flexifoot.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Clinicians thought that Flexifoot may complement and improve current methods of long-term patient management for OA or other conditions in clinical settings. Flexifoot was recognised to be useful for objective measures and should be tailored carefully for each person and condition to maximise compliance. Adopting the device, and other similar technologies, requires reducing the main barriers to use (time, cost, patient compliance) before its successful implementation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2018-023656","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,20]],"date-time":"2019-04-20T12:15:34Z","timestamp":1555762534000},"page":"e023656","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Exploring the clinical context of adopting an instrumented insole: a qualitative study of clinicians\u2019 preferences in England"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Denise","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Cancer, Imperial College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0282-7223","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Enrica","family":"Papi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Cancer, Imperial College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alison H","family":"McGregor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Cancer, Imperial College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121510104617000_9.4.e023656.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.e4934"},{"key":"2025121510104617000_9.4.e023656.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/928301","article-title":"The relationship between anterior cruciate ligament injury and osteoarthritis of the Knee","volume":"2015","author":"Simon","year":"2015","journal-title":"Adv Orthop"},{"key":"2025121510104617000_9.4.e023656.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joca.2011.07.015"},{"key":"2025121510104617000_9.4.e023656.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/acr.22359"},{"key":"2025121510104617000_9.4.e023656.5","first-page":"1745","article-title":"Health related quality of life outcomes after total hip and knee arthroplasties in a community based population","volume":"27","author":"Jones","year":"2000","journal-title":"J Rheumatol"},{"key":"2025121510104617000_9.4.e023656.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pain.2010.11.023"},{"key":"2025121510104617000_9.4.e023656.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joca.2009.12.001"},{"key":"2025121510104617000_9.4.e023656.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joca.2012.05.015"},{"key":"2025121510104617000_9.4.e023656.9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"457","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joca.2013.12.015","article-title":"Novel classification of knee osteoarthritis severity based on spatiotemporal gait analysis","volume":"22","author":"Elbaz","year":"2014","journal-title":"Osteoarthritis Cartilage"},{"key":"2025121510104617000_9.4.e023656.10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2013-003365","article-title":"Extending the use of PROMs in the NHS--using the Oxford Knee Score in patients undergoing non-operative management for knee osteoarthritis: a validation study","volume":"3","author":"Harris","year":"2013","journal-title":"BMJ Open"},{"key":"2025121510104617000_9.4.e023656.11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2519\/jospt.1998.28.2.88"},{"key":"2025121510104617000_9.4.e023656.12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2299","DOI":"10.1007\/s10439-011-0339-9","article-title":"Body-worn sensor design: what do patients and clinicians want?","volume":"39","author":"Bergmann","year":"2011","journal-title":"Ann Biomed Eng"},{"key":"2025121510104617000_9.4.e023656.13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2015-007980","article-title":"A knee monitoring device and the preferences of patients living with osteoarthritis: a qualitative study","volume":"5","author":"Papi","year":"2015","journal-title":"BMJ Open"},{"key":"2025121510104617000_9.4.e023656.14","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2015-009544","article-title":"Wearable technologies in osteoarthritis: a qualitative study of clinicians\u2019 preferences","volume":"6","author":"Papi","year":"2016","journal-title":"BMJ Open"},{"key":"2025121510104617000_9.4.e023656.15","unstructured":"Ritchie J , Lewis J .
