Starworks is a young people’s prosthetic research collaboration that brings children and their families together with key opinion leaders from the NHS, industry, clinical academia, and leading national research centres with capabilities in child prosthetics.

This peer-reviewed paper shares key learnings from the creation and development of the Starworks Network that may be applicable and/or adaptable across a wider paediatric medical technology research and innovation landscape.

In particular, the paper focuses on three key aims:

  1. Addressing child-specific issues
  2. Building a sustainable network
  3. Fostering impactful innovation
