Inom den akademiska forskningen skapas många potentiellt värdeskapande digitala lösningar som om de tas vidare skulle kunna skapa stor nytta för både patienter och hälso- och sjukvård. För att den forskningsbaserade lösningen ska bli tillämpbar krävs arbete, så kallat nyttiggörande. Här hjälper universitetens innovationskontor till och i den här föreläsningen belyser vi möjligheter och utmaningar med processen.
