RESUMO
Healthcare Innovation ideas originating from biomedical engineering departments are rarely based on a deep understanding of a problem, but are often based on coming up with an engineering solution that does not meet an Unmet Clinical Need, is too complicated, bulky, costly, and does not consider global developments. For an impactful innovation design it is essential however to properly understand the clinical issues, forward project the effect of exponential technologies and other global developments. Health and healthcare are in need of disruptive ideas for preventive, predictive, personalised solutions that engage the individuals to pave the way towards real healthcare. We have adapted a novel meta-methodology for dedicated use with health related applications and have used it validating start-up ideas and also during a semester long lecture/seminar classroom setup with amazing results. Clinical Relevance - This novel health dedicated meta-methodology is dependent on interdisciplinary team and innovation work and heavily relies on a good understanding of the current clinical processes and needs as well as on a future projection of global health delivery developments. The clinical perspective is essential and meaning- and impactful innovation can only be developed validating desirability feasibility and viability which needs clinical- engineering/technical-as well as economic expertise.
