The initiatives targeting Swedish healthcare and medical technologies in recent years have been essentially limited to supporting the early idea generation process. But what happens next? Does the generation of innovations also lead to the creation of new successful Swedish medical technology companies and do the innovations result in improved care at lower costs? To answer these questions, we want to identify and study a wide range of medical technology innovations of varying commercial success over the last 15 years. A survey is planned to be sent to identified industry and healthcare stakeholders. Case studies will evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a selection of identified innovations and the impact of the healthcare innovation system on the development of the innovation. The healthcare innovation system is defined as the supporting (in the form of knowledge, resources, etc.) and selecting (market, procurement, evaluation) mechanisms that contribute to the creation of cost-effective innovations. We intend to identify whether cost-effective innovations have had greater survival in the health care system than those innovations that have been deemed ineffective. The results of the study are expected to give us better insight into the supportive and selective effects of the Swedish health care sector's innovation system on an innovation and lead to further theoretical development of the innovation system approach.
