This global playbook for reinventing healthcare brings together over 100 experts from across all continents to transition systems from traditional „sick care“ toward prevention-driven, data-enabled, and patient-centric models. Across four comprehensive parts, the book maps global megatrends and regional challenges—spanning the US, Europe, MENA, and beyond—while providing concrete tools such as disease-pathway frameworks, MR-enabled prototyping, and policy innovation. By presenting best-practice co-creation cases and guidance on KPIs, investment strategies, and emerging technologies like AI and digital twins, it serves as a practical toolbox for biomedical engineers and health innovators. Ultimately, it empowers readers to move beyond incremental technology toward value-driven innovation, helping them transform unmet needs into validated, scalable ventures that democratize healthcare access worldwide.
