Abstract: In addressing the challenge of rising healthcare costs, medical technology innovation is routinely presented as both a villain responsible for high healthcare costs and a savior that can substantially reduce overall costs and improve outcomes. Although many healthcare stakeholders are striving to direct innovation to realize the latter, positive potential, a critical element that generally has been overlooked is the development of the innovators themselves. The pace and success of this effort will depend on the development of a new generation of medtech innovation leaders that can flourish in an environment that is very different from the one in which the medical device industry emerged.
