Short and attractive description of the proposed Symposium
This symposium will explore joint missions for healthcare innovation, drawing from entrepreneurial theory, practice, and education. Despite advances in machine learning, synthetic biology, and other fields, healthcare innovation remains largely linear and bio-pharmaceutical-centric. The COVID-19 pandemic showcased the potential of integrated, transdisciplinary approaches, involving diverse stakeholders like researchers, practitioners, patients, and policymakers. By fostering collaboration across boundaries, we can move beyond siloed innovations. The symposium aims to unify different disciplines to develop holistic, human-centered healthcare innovations, learning from successful transdisciplinary initiatives and exploring strategies for systemic integration and purposeful, scalable innovation.
