Answer 1

Making sense of a new technology in clinical practice: a qualitative study of patient and physician perspectives:-
BMC health services research:
18,limitations:
    The study relied on three sources of data:observation of medical consultations where results of the CAN test were reported(n=8),interviews with patients who had received the CAN test(n=19) and interviews with physicians who reported results of the CAN test(n=9).
19,conclusions:
   The integration of a new risk assessment technology into clinical practice can be accompanied by several challenges..It is suggested that more information about the CAN test be provided to patients and that a dialogue based approach be used when communicating test results to patients in order to best support the use of the technology in clinical practice..
Yes,these conclusions are based on the data that they collected..the Technology is a handheld device that measured resting heart rate and conducts three cardiac autonomic reflex tests to evaluate heart rate variability..they used the new technology to detect cardiovascular Autonomic neuropathy(CAN)..
