Developing digital innovation in healthcare – the missing link
Digital innovation has fundamentally transformed the landscape of healthcare, ushering in an era of enhanced patient care and well-being.
Understanding the importance of innovation and the principles driving the adoption of digital health solutions is key to solving the health problems of the 21st century and the factors influencing accessibility and equity nationally, as well as on a global scale.

The skills to analyse prevailing market trends and capital investments can be taught and are particularly relevant to digital health initiatives. By more effectively articulating the value of their ideas, technical innovators can more easily attract suitable potential investors to increase the likelihood and timing of ‘new tech’ becoming reality.
From telemedicine and electronic health records to AI-driven diagnostics and wearable devices, technological innovation in healthcare collectively contributes to a more proactive, patient-centric, and interconnected healthcare ecosystem. The intersection of technology and healthcare continues to drive groundbreaking solutions, promising advancements in preventive care, timely interventions, and overall improvements in health outcomes.
We present a new educational initiative from the award-winning Digital Health Academy which aims to :
• Encourage critical reflection on the limitations and potential adverse consequences associated with technology in healthcare
• Empower innovators to craft compelling arguments to support their novel healthcare technology
• Foster proficiency in the creation of business models to support their ideas.

By exploring likely trajectories of novel healthcare solutions and considering developing care models alongside transformative technologies, innovators and collaborators across medical and technological disciplines can guide this evolution towards more rapid and effective outcomes. By fostering and pooling collaborative problem-solving skills, novel ideas and new applications of established technology can be more quickly harnessed and navigated from concept to market viability.
