English
Authors' recommendations:
This project has used systematic methodology to provide a robust list of devices relevant to 19 subconditions
which are the cause of most morbidity and mortality to elderly people in the Western Pacific Region. A final list of needed devices will likely benefit from a consideration of other methods, including those of economic evaluation and social impact, input regarding clinical, policy, organizational and infrastructure issues, together with research contextualising the results to each country in the Western Pacific Region.
It is intended that the output of this report will inform future research with the ultimate aim to improve access of needed devices to the elderly.
