Further Work
- Continue Inductive Coding process and try to optimise categories for data set.
- Complete analysis of major barriers to commercialisation.
- Investigate any differences within these barriers based on Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and Device Type.
- Identify any interesting trends in data, for example, do high TRL developers have mainly "Market" issues whilst low TRL developers are thwarted by "Technological" issues (or vice-versa)?
- Develop prioritized list for areas which require further research.
