marketing. It also includes a current assessment of emerging technologies that will
influence healthcare in the future.
Key Features
● Wide-ranging and comprehensive coverage of the field, from digital
health and AI technologies, stem-cell applications and robotic surgery, to
specialty-specific innovations including those in cardiology, public health
and ophthalmology
● Illustrated with real-life examples of success and failure and what can be
learned from these projects
● Reflects a greater emphasis on clinical innovation within health systems
and its inclusion in undergraduate and postgraduate medical curricula and
medicine-related courses
