On April 25, business and government leaders, entrepreneurs, academics and students will gather at the Stanford Graduate School of Business for the 2012 Healthcare Innovation Summit. They will examine the forces shaping the future of health care and discuss practical solutions to some of our toughest health care problems. Panel sessions will explore topics such as the challenges and opportunities created by health-care reform, how to operationalize the promise of genomics and the idea of applying user-centered design to improve the impact and scale of new health care products and services.
To get the discussion started, the SCOPE blog asked STEFANOS ZENIOS, faculty organizer of the summit, to respond to your questions on health care innovation and entrepreneurship.
Zenios is the founding director of the Business School’s new Program in Healthcare Innovation. He is the lead author of Biodesign: The Process of Innovating Medical Technologies, a widely praised textbook on the entrepreneurial process for medical devices, and a co-founder of Konnectology.com, a suite of interactive guides for patients considering complex medical treatments such as kidney transplant.
Questions can be submitted to Zenios by sending a tweet that includes the hashtag #AskSUMed or posting your question in the comments section of the SCOPE blog posting. Questions will be collected until Friday, April 13 at 5 p. m.
