Resumo(s)
There is an ongoing paradigm shift in healthcare, with patients increasingly controlling their
own health. Patient Innovation is an excellent example of this shift. Observation of the
Patient-innovation platform, the largest repository of Patient Innovations in the world, shows
most contributions are published by the platform’s staff. Online search for Patient Innovations
is a resource-consuming task for very rare outcomes. A novel system to complement such
human effort is proposed in the form of a “News Article Listener” to reduce large sets of
news articles to a subset of articles that are likely to describe Patient Innovations. Initial tests
reduced a set of 14,977 articles to a subset of 519 articles, from which an operator found 6
Patient Innovations. The importance of this result is further discussed for innovation
management and health care.
