Service business models have shown promising results in the area of healthcare treatment, particularly on the analyses of economic revenue models to monetise healthcare treatments. A crucial aspect of healthcare business models is focussing on user-centred understanding to inform the adaptation of revenue models.

Projects

Service business model innovation of a therapeutic treatment for the cure of cancer

The aim of this particular project (part of an EPSRC funded programme) is to explore different service business models of a wearable technology for the delivery of a therapeutic treatment in the cure of cancer. The wearable device has the ability to separate the CAR-T cells and treat them in a continuous process. The wearable device is self-powered by the user - creating energy from body heat and movement. In this project, the user is positioned at the center of the service business model innovation.
