   Making time for innovation

   Given that many CIOs are ready to raise the white flag of defeat in desperation, finding time for innovation amidst the swirl of must do projects can be a challenge.

   Cleveland Clinic & TedMed Medical Innovations: Impact of Medical Technologies 2015

   In October 2014, Cleveland Clinic convened its 12th Annual Medical Innovation Summit to unveil their “Top 10 Innovations for 2015.” The top innovations were determined based on interviews with more than 110 Cleveland Clinic experts in all major medical specialties.

   The process yielded almost 150 emerging technologies, which were then pared down to a final list of ten innovations that may have an immediate impact on health in 2015. In addition to the innovation summit hosted by Cleveland Clinic, the 2014 TedMed Conference also explored medical innovations, seeking to “seed the innovations in health and medicine of today, making the breakthroughs of tomorrow possible.”

   In this forum, both well-known and undiscovered leaders, innovators, and explorers converged to discuss the possibility of a healthier future and the novelties that may advance that ideal. The first installment of this two-part series on medical innovations will discuss some of the revolutionary industry developments that were showcased at these two conferences and have the ability to significantly impact the healthcare sector throughout 2015.

   Healthcare entrepreneurship

   The current state of entrepreneurship is receiving considerable attention as debate simmers around questions of business dynamism in the United States; especially during this tax season.

   According to a Gallup article, the U.S. has dropped to 12th among developed nations in terms of business startups. Economists also recently found evidence for this downward trend in business activity and attribute it to diminished incentives for entrepreneurs to start new firms.

   This raises some questions: What exactly are the factors leading to the decline in business activity in the United States – and how does this apply to medical innovation? And, what can be done to revive the American entrepreneurial environment?

   “Five biases of new technologies” by Trisha Greenhalgh

   http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3722815/

   1. Pro-innovation bias. This bias, first described by the innovation guru Everett Rogers in the 1960s, says that anything new is inherently better than anything already in use. People are classified in the value-laden terms ‘innovators’ (the best sort of person to be) followed by ‘early adopters’, ‘early majority’, ‘late majority’, and ‘laggards’. Who in their right mind would be a laggard?

   2. Subjunctivisation bias. Much of the policy rhetoric on new technologies rests not on what they have been shown to achieve in practice but on optimistic guesses about what they would, could, or may achieve if their ongoing development goes as planned; if the technologies are implemented as intended; and in the absence of technical, regulatory or operational barriers. This is what Dourish and Bell call the ‘proximate future’: a time, just around the corner, of ‘calm computing’ when all technologies will be plug-and-play and glitch-free.

   3. Bells and whistles bias. This bias assumes that the more functions a technology offers, the better it will work. If you have ever tried to make the case to a salesperson that you want a mobile phone for the purposes of making phone calls, not to track your global positioning, take photographs, or check your email, you will know the counter-argument to this.

   4. Connectivity bias. This assumes that the more technologies and systems to which a new technology can connect, the more useful it will be. The computer system that sits in splendid isolation, processing a parochial dataset for a local team is seen as so 20th century compared to one that links to a national or, better, international data archive. Yet as those of us who regularly have to link our practice record system to the N3 Spine know to our cost, local systems work faster and more reliably the fewer external connections they make.

   5. Human substitution bias. This bias assumes that whatever the task, a technology is as good as, or better than, a human. When we are sick, lonely, or distressed, we crave company. If you do not believe that a whole research industry is now emerging oriented to developing ‘social presence robots’ that will substitute for real, flesh-and-blood humans in these very situations, check out the studies emerging in the robotics journals.
