Powerful new approaches and advances in medical systems drive
increasingly high expectations for healthcare providers
internationally. The form of digital healthcare - a suite of new
technologies offering significant benefits in cost and quality -
allow institutions to keep pace with society's needs. This book
covers the need for responsible innovation in this area, exploring
the issues of implementation as well as potential negative
consequences to ensure digital healthcare delivers for the benefit
of all stakeholders. This book offers a considered view on what a
responsible innovation process might involve and how this will
enable multiple stakeholders - users, medics, businesses and
policymakers - to create a system of delivering better care at
lower costs. Illustrated by international case studies, the
contributing authors explore the dimensions of responsible
innovation with patient engagement and the ways in which this can
lead to better design, enhanced diffusion of knowledge and
improvement in healthcare. A much-needed exploration of the role of
innovation in healthcare with patients in mind, this book will be
essential for academics in innovation, ethics, social
entrepreneurship and healthcare studies.
The study of universities’ role in regional engagement has
traditionally been focusing on exceptional cases. This book
presents a reconceptualization which embraces its underlying
complexity and proposes a roadmap for a renewed research agenda.
Starting from the grassroots level of universities’ "everyday"
engagements, the book delves into the manifold ways in which
university knowledge agents build connections with regional
partners. Through 11 empirical chapters, the authors not only chart
the diversity among case institutions, engagement mechanisms, and
regional contexts but also use that diversity to advance a novel
conceptual framework, centered on the process of mundaneness, for
unpacking university-regions’ everyday activities, taking into
account the dynamic, complex, and co-evolving interplay between (a)
key social agents and institutions, (b) the contexts in which they
are embedded, as well as (c) the historical trajectories and
strategic ambitions underpinning context-specific social
arrangements and interactions that are mediated by temporal and
spatial dimensions. Drawing on evolutionary economic geography,
innovation studies, management and organization studies, and
historical perspectives, the volume advances a new mode of
understanding university-regional engagement as a form of
extendable temporary coupling, which also helps to address
perennial policy and managerial questions alike of what to do with
universities that do not serve local labour market needs and/or are
located in regions suffering from brain drain. The book illustrates
such dynamics from diverse national contexts and three continents:
Brazil, Caribbean, China, Italy, Norway, and Poland. This book will
be valuable reading for advanced students, researchers, and
policymakers working in economic geography, regional development,
innovation, and higher education management. The Open Access
