To all of you reading, thanks, and welcome to Healthonomics. In this blog I will be discussing issues around innovation, entrepreneurship and the economics of healthcare. I’ll try to keep things short and stick to one topic per posting.
Healthcare and life sciences are considered to be one of the key high-technology sectors of the future. Therefore, healthcare entrepreneurship and technology transfer should be encouraged in all healthcare organizations. While pure basic science research has value, discoveries and inventions cannot help patients unless they make it into the marketplace.
The good news is every year thousands of healthcare startups are created around the world. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of healthcare professionals participate in the process. For the industry to achieve its full potential we need to attract more physicians and healthcare workers to the task. We need to encourage bioentrepreneurship among physicians as well, and I will try to do so here.
I hope you will find this blog useful and you will keep in touch with me. I would prefer the blog to be a dialogue rather than a monologue, so please post your comments or email me your insights, ideas, disagreements … they will all add up to the discussion.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
