The unit focuses on how technology can be used to provide future health services such that they positively affect the social factors that are determinants of health. The responsible social innovation dimension in the unit is not just restricted to commercialising `medical technologies¿ or `clinical innovations¿, but also considers contexts where technology can be used to support citizen empowerment for enhanced societal wellbeing. Problem solving The healthcare sector is undergoing considerable change. Today¿s healthcare professionals and organisations face economic pressure to reduce costs while improving care amidst a digital transformation that¿s changing how and when patients seek treatment. There¿s a constant pressure to find more efficient and effective ways to deliver healthcare, but improving quality enabled by technology and still holding the line on costs is challenging. Balancing those priorities requires more than just medical know-how or social skills. Other Healthcare professionals also need commercial skills if they want to deliver a high-quality patient experience while still meeting government priorities and organisational goals. This unit will equip students with commercial skills that will help drive innovation and experimentation in delivering value added care. Social Responsibility The current ways in which new healthcare technologies and models are being financed, developed and brought to market render health care systems increasingly inequitable and unsustainable.
