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

☀️ 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.

☀️ Bienvenue sur Synapse !

Vous êtes passionné par l'innovation en santé ? Acteur de son développement ? Oeuvrant pour son adoption concrète ? Votre nouveau podcast vient d’arriver !

Cet épisode d'introduction vous emmène dans les coulisses de la mission de Synapse : reconnecter le monde de l’innovation à nos systèmes de santé… synapse après synapse.

Malgré l’enthousiasme généré par l’innovation en santé, de nombreuses barrières (systémiques, opérationnelles, financières, réglementaires, sociétales) entravent encore son adoption terrain.

Face à cela, Synapse porte la conviction qu’une connaissance approfondie de ces barrières, de la complexité de nos systèmes de santé, et de la réalité des soins est une arme essentielle pour mener une innovation vers une adoption réussie.
Ce sont ces barrières que l'on explore aux côtés des acteurs clefs de l’innovation en santé (innovateurs, professionnels de santé, décideurs publics…).

L’innovation en santé a un rôle à jouer face aux défis de nos sociétés. Pour cela, elle se doit d’être pertinente en répondant à des besoins concrets, et responsable en utilisant au mieux nos ressources humaines, financières et technologiques.

❤️ Votre soutien nous fait avancer ! Abonnez-vous, et suivez l'aventure Synapse sur LinkedIn et sur notre site internet
