Achieving successful academia-industry collaborations in digital health
Innovation in digital health has the potential to help achieve transformational change in health care, but health care as a whole is a complex adaptive system, where multiple interactive, dynamic elements cause a self-organising reaction to change. The result is that innovation in one aspect of a health care system can cause unexpected pressures in other areas. Academic-industry collaboration combines the high-speed efficiency and resources of the private sector with the scientific expertise of academia to develop, test, and bring digital health solutions to scale in practice. I will discuss best practices for successful collaboration, with examples from current and previous projects on technology-assisted health care delivery and patient-generated data collection and use. I will also discuss how to integrate health system, academic, and entrepreneurial needs and perspectives to achieve high-quality, evidence-based results and the sustainable dissemination of successful solutions at scale.
