Healthcare Innovation: Tackling it head-on

Healthcare is on the brink of revolution, owing to the rapid industrialisation of medicine. We are not talking about'global challenges', but far from meeting them. Healthcare is very splintered across the geography that it would be impractical to implement "technological advances" without giving due cognisance to socio-cultural issues. I find it surprising, because investors' "money (either in the form of grants or venture capital) can be better used by working on modest goals, thereby scaling them. Academia is highly risked averse in several ways; grant committees find it easier for a group think and there's no funding of a breakout idea.
