Abstract Background Point-of-care testing (POCT) devices are diagnostic tools that can provide quick and accurate results within minutes, making them suitable for diagnosing non-communicable diseases (NCDs). However, these not widely implemented in healthcare systems this reason is relevant to understand the implementation process.

Engaging diverse stakeholders in developing core outcome sets (COSs) can produce more meaningful metrics as well research responsive to patient needs. The most common COS prioritisation method, Delphi surveys, has limitations related selection bias and participant understanding, while qualitative methods like group discussions are less frequently used. This study aims test a co-creation approach development for type 1 diabetes (T1DM) Peru.
