Patient Innovation - Inspiring Stories About Impactful Innovations Developed by Patients, Caregivers and Collaborators

Sinopse:

Histórias reais de inovação em saúde criadas por pacientes, cuidadores e comunidades

Many impactful healthcare solutions don't originate just in research labs - but also from people living with the challenges themselves.

This book brings together powerful, real-world stories of patients, caregivers, and collaborators who transformed personal challenges into solutions that improved lives. From low-cost medical devices and accessible technologies to community-driven health projects, each story reveals the creativity, resilience, and ingenuity of individuals who refused to accept limitations.

With the special contributions of Sir Richard Roberts and Eric von Hippel, Patient Innovation explores the growing global movement of user innovation in healthcare - a shift that is reshaping how we understand, create, and share medical solutions.

Patient Innovation is a celebration of people who, in facing health challenges, chose to act - not just for themselves, but for others.
