Biography

Juan Marcos Gonzalez is an Associate Professor in the Department of Population Health Sciences at Duke University. His research expertise involves designing stated-preference survey instruments and employing advanced statistical techniques to analyze stated-preference data. Dr. Gonzalez's work focuses on promoting transparency in benefit-risk evaluations of medical interventions and eliciting health preferences from multiple stakeholders to facilitate shared decision-making. He co-led a preference study sponsored by the FDA, which underscored the agency's recent guidance on submitting patient-preference evidence to inform regulatory decisions on the benefit-risk profiles of new medical devices. Additionally, he collaborated with the Medical Devices Innovation Consortium to prepare a catalog of preference-elicitation methods appropriate for benefit-risk assessments of medical devices. As a core group member of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research's Conjoint Analysis Task Force, Dr. Gonzalez contributed to developing best-practice recommendations for the statistical analysis, interpretation, and reporting of health preference data. He is currently engaged with the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health to enhance the center's review capabilities regarding stated-preference data for regulatory decisions.
