Safety-Integrated and Infection-Reactive Implants (SIIRI)

In the communication science sub-project ‘Trust and patient-centred communication as factors of implant safety and implantological treatment success’ of the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio 298 (SFB/TRR 298), we address the question of how acceptance of and trust in new implant technologies can be promoted. Communication and trust are understood as a factor of treatment success and implant safety and the importance of communication and trust dynamics for the treatment decision, sustainable compliance and treatment satisfaction of patients is investigated. The qualitative retro- and prospective interview and network studies to be conducted with patients and practitioners will serve both to develop a theory of trust-based health communication and to develop strategies for successful patient-centred communication and knowledge transfer about intelligent implants.
