Medical innovation adoption hinges on champions, risk inversion, and aligned pathways

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Shifting the standard of care in medicine is a complex process that relies on more than just technological advancement or regulatory approval. According to Erez Meltzer, CEO of Nanox, three key forces drive the adoption of new medical innovations. These include the presence of internal champions who advocate for the technology, the generation of evidence that inverts the risk calculus for adoption, and the alignment of guidelines, reimbursement, and regulatory pathways. Meltzer uses the example of 3D mammography (DBT) to illustrate how, despite FDA approval in 2011 and clear evidence of improved detection rates, it took nearly a decade for DBT to become widely adopted due to these factors.
