Medical Innovation

Davide Consoli, Richard R. Nelson

"This book brings together a collection of empirical case studies featuring a wide spectrum of medical innovation. While there is no unique pathway to successful medical innovation, recurring and distinctive features can be observed across different areas of clinical practice. Drawing on a broad body of research on Innovation, Science and Technology, this book examines why medical practice develops so unevenly across and within areas of disease, and how this relates to the underlying conditions of innovation across areas of practice." --Publisher content.
