Does healthcare innovation really demand the need to “move fast and break things” and spin out new products feverishly? What kind of innovations does Canada's healthcare system need now? In my new essay in Healthcare Quarterly from Longwoods Publishing, I identified a subset of documented healthcare innovations across #Canada from 2019 to 2023. The findings illuminate, I feel, where we might wish to invest our energies.
