What do those engaged in care delivery expect from innovation ? What kind of innovation do they adopt? What role should they play in the innovation process? How can we innovate closest to real needs? Where do we even start?

In this episode, Florian Rossiaud-Fischer (Director within the Swiss Medical Network, former Chief Innovation Officer at Hôpital de la Tour) gives us a behind-the-scenes perspective of clinicians' and healthcare executives' day-to-day, and how they perceive innovation in it.

Together, we explore:

• Best practices for innovators

• The difference between the public and private sectors' freedom to adopt innovation

• A rare perspective: innovating in the way our healthcare systems function to increase resilience and efficiency, with the example of the Swiss Medical Network's Viva Health initiative for integrated care

• Value-based healthcare, and why it can be a guiding star to develop innovation that matters

Barriers to adoption we tried to solve

• The disconnect between innovation & care delivery

• Innovators' common mistake: bitting more than you can chew

• How healthcare systems' complexity hinders adoption

• Innovations having to meet the expectations of a large variety of stakeholders

• How the public sector's obligation to "serve all" can slow down innovation adoption

• ... more in the episode

For the curious ones

• Value-based care (basics)

• ICHOM (International Consortium for Health Outcome Measurement)

• The Swiss Medical Network

• Viva Health

• The Genolier Innovation Hub

☀️ Welcome to Synapse !

Are you passionate about healthcare innovation? Building it? Advocating for its real-world adoption? Your new favorite podcast is here.

This intro episode takes you at the heart of Synapse's mission: reconnecting innovation with our healthcare systems… synapse after synapse.

Despite the excitement around healthcare innovation, many barriers (systemic, operational, financial, regulatory, societal) still stand in the way of real-world adoption.

Synapse is built on the belief that a deep understanding of these barriers, of the complexity of healthcare systems, and of the realities of care delivery, is one of the most powerful tools to turn innovation into real adoption.

These are the barriers we explore alongside key players in health innovation (innovators, healthcare professionals, public decision-makers... ).

Healthcare innovation has a role to play in addressing our societies’ challenges. To do so, it must be relevant by solving concrete needs, and responsible by making the best use of our human, financial, and technological resources.
