“…I think people will be surprised when even kaumātua, they're more on board with things because health is important ..." -Postgraduate student, social science. Diagnostic testing may be more acceptable than other contentious applications of genetic or bodily materials like biobanking (Beaton et al, 2017;Hudson et al, 2016) and forensic DNA analysis (Ahuriri-Driscoll et al, 2020), as the kaupapa (purpose) is more in accordance with the positive orientation of whakapapa, i.e. the intent and aim is for users to monitor themselves to improve health and wellbeing, rather than having samples collected be used as a tool for criminalisation.…”

“…This preference was attributed to the perceived reliability and certainty of electronics having been tested over time, rather than an aversion to biotechnology. After discussion around the uncertainty of any scientific or medical instrument (Ahuriri-Driscoll et al, 2020) and what biotechnology refers to, most were willing to trial a biotechnology-based medical device.…”

Aim: To consult with Māori on the design and development of a direct-to-consumer point-of-care (POC) device and gather views on point-of-care testing and biotechnology. Method: One-on-one interviews and small group hui with self-identified Māori university staff and students (n = 6) conducted by an early-career Māori scientist. Results: Key themes were the importance of achieving improved health outcomes for Māori through addressing known socioeconomic, geographic, and cultural factors that perpetuate health disparities. Other findings were the value of recognising the diversity in modern Māori identities, perspectives, and communities, as well as views on using synthetic biomolecules in medical devices and perceptions of biotechnology, and the potential for cultural over-engagement or misplaced focus in consultation. Conclusion: In this article, we describe our approach and experience of consultation led by a Māori lab-based scientist, and report unique perspectives of biotechnology from non-expert Māori academics for the first time. Direct-to-consumer POC testing may promote kaupapa Māori values such as tino rangatiratanga, whakawhanaungatanga and tikanga, which may help Māori overcome barriers to health care and testing, a key step in achieving improved health outcomes.

We describe our approach and experience of consultation as laboratory-based researchers to encourage other researchers/developers to engage directly with Māori during the design process, and report Māori views of synthetic molecules in medical or industrial applications for the first time.
