organizations make false or exaggerated claims. Some of the melanoma detection apps were ned recently by the FTC for
claiming to diagnose skin cancer. In addition to these subjects, this presentation will highlight several practical examples of
medical innovations through the stages of concept, design, pilot and successful implementation. Furthermore, there will be
practical information for healthcare sector’s entrepreneurs, who wish to develop pioneering products for the future.
