Abstract

This study introduces MIDTs, an interdisciplinary method for technological research aimed at healthcare applications. MIDTs integrates Design Science and User-Centered Design principles, structured into six phases to ensure both scientific rigor and practical applicability. Over the last decade, it has been applied to more than 70 projects, generating academic theses, patents, and clinical solutions. Empirical evidence indicates that MIDTs fosters innovative and user-centered outcomes, effectively addressing complex societal demands within healthcare. The method’s adaptability is further demonstrated through its potential application in other sectors. By providing a clear framework for interdisciplinary collaboration and solution development, MIDTs offers a robust approach to bridge research, practice, and user needs in technology-driven health initiatives.
