The tech sectors are the least understood portion of the healthcare system, but the ones that supply most of the innovation in healthcare services and generate most revenue. Fully updated for this third edition, The Business of Healthcare Innovation is a wide-ranging analysis of business models and trends in the tech sectors of the healthcare industry. It provides a thorough overview of and introduction to the innovative sectors that fuel improvements in healthcare: pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, life science startups, medical devices and information technology. For each sector, the book examines the trends in scientific innovation, the science behind that innovation, the business and revenue models pursued to commercialize that innovation, the regulatory constraints within which each sector must operate and the growing issues posed by activist payers and consumers. From a combination of academic and industry perspectives, the authors show why healthcare sectors are such an important source of growth in any nation's economy.

'Understanding the dynamics of the medical device industry has been extremely important to me. Perhaps more than in any other sector, future medical devices, and the promises they hold for real solutions, represent the true intersection of high technology and health care. The information in this book provides a great understanding of this complex industry - the challenges of creating, improving, distributing and competing in this space. The materials included in this book provide an excellent foundation for anyone looking to solve healthcare problems with the incredible technology available today. I highly recommend it.' Kevin R.
