piece of equipment, method, etc., that is created by technology."
In 1937, the American sociologist Read Bain wrote that "technology includes all tools, machines, utensils, weapons,
instruments, housing, clothing, communicating and transporting devices and the skills by which we produce and use
them."
- Many definitions… commonalities: combination of tools and knowledge.
Classification of technology
Information Technology, Medical technology, Assisstive technology, Networks, Sensors, Internet of Things (IoT),
Robotics, Art & science, Etc.
→ They overlap
Medical technology
Devices, medicines, procedures and
systems designed to prevent, cure or
mitigate health problems.
- devices
- medicines & vaccines
- procedures
- systems
But it’s blurry and it overlaps.
Assistive technology
Devices that improve the capability of
individuals with disabilities
- hearing aid
- walking aids
Technology in a robot is very advanced
and overlapping.
Health Information Technology
Information technology applied to
health and health care
• Electronic Medical Record
• Patient Portal
• Telemedicine/telehealth
• M-health
• Etc.
Defining innovation
1. newness to the customer (market)
2. product/service/pss innovation (technology)
, 3. newness to the industry
4. newness to the firm (design)
What is the
solution that is
being
innovated?
Definitions
- Product: tangible elements that can vary in the degree of technology they comprise.
- Service: the activities and actions with an economic value, set in place to enhance the interaction with a product.
- System: the collection of elements, such as infrastructure, people, regulations, organizations, and others, needed
to deliver the solution.
- PSS: market offerings that combine products and services, and present them as single solutions to customers.
For whom is the solution innovative?
1. Radical innovation, if it didn’t exist, so it’s new to the firm and
the whole industry, then it is a radical innovation.
2. Incremental innovation, when you make a change. Then it’s
only new to the firm only.
What elements of the solution are innovative?
, Focus of this course
The market change and design isn’t really our
focus. Our focus lies with technology, the PSS
innovation.
Innovation and technology: the relationship
Without new technology there can’t be innovation.
- Technologies are specific types of innovation
- In healthcare the majority of current innovations that people cannot keep up
- Healthcare needs technology/innovation to advance
- We need to go back to the basics of healthcare
- Technology is bad, it dehumanizes care
- Technology is the future, it helps us go beyond human capacity
- Technology is scary, it is taking over human intellect.

• understand how scientists
can research these claims
How to develop an innovation
- Rigid processes
