SPIE Medical Imaging 2014 Workshop: Commercialization of Medical Research

A look back to 2004, a personal story: “Prospective motion correction of X-ray images for coronary interventions”
Philips Healthcare, Feb 20, 2014, SPIE Medical Imaging Workshop
University Tech Transfer Office: “Provisional patent application… but bring us an interested vendor.”
• Just because we can do it, doesn’t mean we should do it.
• There may exist other means to the same end.
• What’s it going to cost and who’s going to pay for it?

Pay for it? “It’s just a small software mod…”
• Quality systems
• Regulatory
• Evidence development
• Market education

Value Proposition
“Call it a value proposition, a unique selling point, whatever it is, you need to clarify
what you do, who you do it for and
what makes it different from everyone else into a simple, clear
believable statement”

Complexity of a value proposition in healthcare
• Multiple stakeholders – Patient – Physician – Hospital Administration (ie. CFO, purchasing) – Payer
• Changes to clinical pathways may upset the “balance” • Pursuit of the “Triple Aim” (Donald Berwick)
– Improving the experience of care – Improving the health of populations – Reducing the per-capita costs of healthcare

Obstacles to the Pursuit of the Triple Aim
• Supply driven demand. • New technology with limited impact on outcomes. • Physician-centric care. • Little or no foreign competition. • Little appreciation of system knowledge among clinicians. • Transparency in quality metrics. • Accurate cost accounting.

The Role of an Integrator
Only a single organization (not a market dynamic), can induce coordinative behavior among health service suppliers to work as a system for the defined population.
• Involving individuals and families • Strengthen the role of primary care teams / medical home • Increase preventive behavior • Allocate resources within the defined population • Define, measure, and make transparent the costs of care • Approach new technologies and capital investments with skepticism • Deliver care that is evidence-based and highly reliable

The Triple Aim Paradox?
• Interdependent goals: Changes pursuing any one goal can affect the other two, sometimes negatively and sometimes positively. These changes may occur at different times.
– Should your business focus on one, two or all three goals?
• Principal-agent problem: From the viewpoint of a national entity, the Triple Aim is essential. From the viewpoint of an individual actor responding to market forces, pursuing all three aims at once in not in their immediate self interest.
– Should your business focus on the principal or the agent?

Medical Regulatory
• Is it a medical device?
Shantanu Nundy, et al. “Mobile phone diabetes project led to improved glycemic control and net savings for Chicago plan participants.” Health Affairs 2014; 33(2):265-272.

Medical Regulatory
• Class I, II, or III • 510(k) vs. PMA • Regulatory clearance/
approval allows one to market a product, but doesn’t guarantee market adoption. Barbara Buch. “FDA Medical Device Approval: Things
you didn’t learn in medical school or residency.” Am J Orthop. 2007; 36(8):”407-412.

Evidence Development
• Start planning for both regulatory and market acceptance
• The required level of evidence will be decided by the one in need of convincing.
– Efficacy • Does X cause an effect in ideal situations? • Homogenous test groups. Subjects who deviate from a protocol may be
excluded from analysis.
– Effectiveness • Does X work in the real world? • Heterogeneous test groups. All subjects might be included in the analysis
based on an “intent to treat”.
