Research and innovation in healthcare can change existing practices aiming at constant improvement of diagnosis, treatment and prevention. As a new holistic approach Systems Medicine (SM) may revolutionize the healthcare system. This paper analyzes ethical and economic obstacles of SMs development from a niche innovation to a standard solution. We adapt a model of innovation theory to structure the barriers of adopting SM to become standard in the medical system. SM has the potential to change the medical system if barriers to this innovation can be overcome. The article discusses the potential of SM in becoming the future health paradigm considering these barriers and provides an overview of the current situation.
医疗保健领域的研究与创新能够改变现有做法,旨在不断改进诊断、治疗和预防。作为一种全新的整体方法,系统医学(SM)可能会给医疗保健系统带来变革。本文分析了系统医学从利基创新发展成为标准解决方案过程中的伦理和经济障碍。我们采用创新理论模型来构建在医疗系统中采用系统医学并使其成为标准所面临的障碍。如果能够克服这一创新的障碍,系统医学就有潜力改变医疗系统。本文考虑到这些障碍,探讨了系统医学成为未来健康范式的潜力,并概述了当前的形势。
