I am currently engaged in a project to develop a Health Technopolis at the National University of Malaysia's campus in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. I wish to learn from experiences of researchers who have developed business models for healthcare clusters or science and technology parks in the health and medical fields.
We use health systems framework in evaluating such projects and business models. The building blocks of this framework are human resources, infrastructure, supplies and information technology. How these can be impacted or modulated by vision and concerns of key stakeholders, payment system, regulations and public policy, consumer concerns and technology. These can be linked to figure out whether we will be able to achieve the goals we have set for the system. In health sector we face many challenges - such as translating the need into demand. So for each park what kind of echo system one would like to create so that the needs are translated in demand. The IT and persuasion helps a lot in this process. Best
