    management positions in sales, marketing, product management, corporate
    development, business planning and as a market access consultant. Now working
    as a senior researcher, lecturer and consultant in the field of medical
    device innovation with special interest in how innovation is adopted by
    healthcare. Research questions of interest are: how to define and communicate
    value of innovation as required in value-based pricing and commercialization
    of innovation. Experience from market access consulting, market research and
    forecasting, value-dossier development and involvement in health-economic
    modelling has given insights on how health economic evidence in driving

  • The Impact of the Healthcare Innovation System on the Development and
    Diffusion of Innovations
    Successful commercialization of innovations requires a close interactive
    learning process between users and producers. If customer needs are lost or a
    lack of capital or of expertise occur the innovation processes stop. A
    critical phase is the creation of a market for the innovation in
    collaboration with the healthcare system. This is often hampered by the
    considerable uncertainty about a new product’s clinical effects and cost
    effectiveness. It is therefore of interest to ask how well the healthcare
    system’s related innovation system works? Does it support potentially
    valuable innovations to diffuse into clinical practice and does it prevent
    the use of expensive and ineffective methods of care? Do cost effective
    innovations have a higher success rate within healthcare?
