Innovation and health – and some other things
Presentation of TIK research for master students, February 16

Slide2Innovation and health
We have had two projects oriented at exploring the role of hospitals in innovation
Background: hospitals are not much studied from an innovation perspective, yet they are increasingly seen as central innovation actors for the combined benefit of patients and industry
Our initial idea was that many innovation processes are “hidden” and that there may be tensions as well as synergies between healthcare and economic ambitions
Perspectives: evolutionary innovation studies combined with institutional and organisational theory
Externally funded, close to policymakers
Slide3Data and approaches
Longitudinal qualitative studies of centres for research-based innovation within medicine and healthcare
Study of health and care policy documents for a discussion of innovation perspectives
Inventor database and inventor interviews to shed light on the interface between basic and clinical research
Survey among hospital employees to measure innovation activities, culture and networks
Slide4Findings…
…are summarised in various policy briefs and scientific publications
We document the centrality of academic hospitals in healthcare innovation from the inventive steps to implementation
Hospitals (and their employees) participate in distributed networks that are easily reconfigured and often with several weak links
A gap between health policy perspectives and modern innovation perspectives
Slide5Your opportunities
Use of some of the data and perspectives and add your own
Database of inventions may be particularly promising in this respect
Use our network from the project to find your own cases
Relevant contacts: the regional healthcare agency (
Helse
Sør-Øst
), the intervention centre (R&D unit at Oslo University Hospital), other hospital units, cluster organisations
Slide6Similar opportunities
Topics for master theses can be found in other ongoing and recently finished projects that I am/have been involved in
University-industry relations and the history of universities
Social innovation
Regional innovation in Oslo/
Akershus
Humanities in science and innovation policy
Slide7Partners and contacts
Many of our research partners have other projects that can be relevant for a master thesis
NIFU (many different projects)
Telenor (many different projects)
We also have good contacts in other places and are sometimes contacted by external organisations who “want a master student”
Veidekke
(organisational innovation)
NAV (innovation in general)
Innovation Norway (various)
The Research Council of Norway (various)
HIOA/AFI (RRI)
