Tiivistelmä
Digital health is a multi-disciplinary domain using digital technologies in the health and wellness sector, with the ultimate goal of making healthcare precise and personalized. A revolution in healthcare is led by digital technology. The rise of the Open Innovation (OI) paradigm in the last decade has contributed to the development of inter-organizational collaborative innovation networks and ecosystems. Helsinki University Hospital (HUS) has fully integrated digital data and brainpower into a unique, forward-thinking innovation ecosystem called Clever Health Network (CHN). Fourteen world-class technology companies and world-leading healthcare professionals have joined hands to develop efficient and targeted patient care solutions by using health data.
This research aimed at studying key driving factors which might help organizations to innovate faster when working in a collaborative innovative ecosystem environment. The main research approach of this thesis is the case study. Primary data was collected using 8 in-depth semi-structured interviews of industry leaders with open-ended questions and participant observation. Secondary data and literature study supported the primary data. All collected data was analyzed using content analysis, grounded analysis, and computer-aided analysis.
The main findings of the study outline the five key driving factors that could play a significant role in the success of any innovation ecosystem. These success factors are i) new rules demand new skills, ii) trust and mobility, iii) winning by sharing not closing, iv) users and industry collaboration, and v) collaborative and co-creative culture. In conclusion, to accelerate the scalability and create new markets and services all involved stakeholders need to co-create the innovative solutions.
