An essential text for innovators, this accessible book explains how medical and healthcare professionals and students who are new to innovation in healthcare can best progress their innovation projects and how those interested in healthcare innovation can develop an improved understanding of novel treatments and developments. The book provides a clear framework for the innovation pathway, describing step-by-step how projects are taken from concept to marketing, and also includes a current assessment of emerging technologies that will influence medical innovation in the future.
Key Features:
- Wide-ranging and comprehensive coverage of the field, from digital health and AI technologies, through stem-cell applications and robotic surgery, to specialty-specific innovations including those in cardiology, public health and ophthalmology
- Illustrated with real-life examples of success and failure and what can be learned from these projects
- Reflects a greater emphasis on clinical innovation within health systems and its inclusion in undergraduate and postgraduate medical curriculae and medically related courses
- Supports national and international initiatives to encourage innovation in healthcare and maximize the novel ideas generated by university staff and students, as well as practicing clinicians
Ideal for students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level and medical practitioners and allied medical health professionals, it will also be of interest to clinical innovators and healthcare businesses seeking to increase uptake of their products both in the UK and internationally.
