Carilion Clinic has enrolled its first four participants in a new usability study in collaboration with the Carilion Innovation Group, marking an important milestone in advancing patient-centered innovation.

Led on-site by Lead Clinical Research Coordinator Darren Hackley, the study team worked closely with internal partners and the device installation team to ensure a smooth launch. All four device installations have been successfully completed.

The installation team reported that participants were enthusiastic, engaged, and excited to get started—an encouraging sign for the study’s continued progress.

The usability study will evaluate patient interaction and experience with the device in a real-world care setting, helping inform future improvements and support innovation at Carilion Clinic.

With enrollment underway, the team looks forward to building momentum and expanding participation in the months ahead.
