China becoming the largest economy
Description:
According to the CBP (Centraal Plan Bureau) the demand for health care in The Netherlands will increase with 40% between 2000 and 2015. To be able to supply the required healthcare improved efficiencies and tailor-made health care at home are required. Technological innovations in health care equipment and ICT innovations are essential to improve the efficiencies and treatment at home. New developments are telecare, telemedicine, e-health and domotica.
The objectives of innovation in health care are: - increased efficiency - reduced costs - increased quality and tailor-made health care
Enablers:
1. Aging population <pb> 2. Technological innovations <cr> 3. Developments in ICT <cr> 4. Open markets in health care <cr>
Inhibitors:
1. Unstable political environment, minority issues
2. Unhealthy financial institutions (Not commercial driven)
3. Working population decreasing (one child policy)
Paradigms:
1. Change of world power when China becomes the biggest economy
Timing:
2015: China's economy will be bigger than Japan
2041: China's economy will be bigger than US 1949: psychologist Donald Hebb suggests that a strengthening of the connections between neurons in the brain accounts for learning.
