Session I

Economical and Strategic Aspects of Medical Innovation Markets

Matthias Schönermark, Hannover Medical School

Abstract

Clinical medicine and the medical industry behind it have been showing dramatically increasing innovation and complexity dynamics, which resemble the history of microelectronics in the last 40 years. However, a Moore s law has not been formulated yet. As information is the glue in the medical value chain, it is compelling that the evolutionary power of microelectronics has an enormous impact on the medicine of the future. The lecture will discuss the currently detectable forces of the microelectronics science and industry which have an observable impact on clinical medicine and will speculate on the most promising and exciting fields where both disciplines might interact in the future.
