  "Longer term, the biggest thing of all is remote monitoring and getting rid of hospital rooms. And there, the opportunity is extraordinary. Because obviously the main cost in healthcare is personnel. And if you don't have hospital rooms, you have a whole lot less personnel. So setting up surveillance centers with remote monitoring – which can be exquisite and very inexpensive with the right algorithms, when it's validated – would be the biggest single way to improve things for patients, because they're in the comfort of their own home."
- Dr. Eric Topol, founder and director of Scripps Research Translational Institute.

Henk van Houten: Five ways in which healthcare innovation has changed over the past 15 years

1. Technology for healthcare innovation used to focus on product features – now it is about creating solutions for value-based care.
2. Aligned incentives have become critical in the transition to value-based care.
3. Solutions creation requires ecosystem innovation on open digital platforms.
4. Patient data used to reside in systems of record – now we need a system of engagement, bringing a 360-degree view of the patient into clinical workflows.
5. Research has moved to the frontline of innovation – working closely with customers and across businesses.
