Digital and communications technologies are feeding an increasingly faster rate-of-change, causing transformative structural changes in the global economy. The U.S. Medical Device industry is not immune. Commoditization, revolutionary changes in the delivery and payment of healthcare, increasing government interference limiting innovation, an aging global population, and the threat of aggressive new market entrants threaten its global leadership role in a growing global healthcare market are challenging all incumbents. The victors will be those who create change by immersing themselves in the ambiguities of the external environment, sort through them before things are settled and known, set a path, and steer the organizations decisively into it. In his talk, Tom will examine trends and bends in the road; then extrapolate insights for the medical device professional on how to survive and thrive during this tumultuous period of change and opportunity. He will also provide insights gained over thirteen years while assisting over one thousand executives, managers, and professionals who have chosen to reinvent themselves to make better use of their gifts in response to the changing landscape.

Nikon Shifts Focus to Health as Camera Sales Flag
Kazuo Ushida Says Camera Maker Plans to Spend About $2 billion on M&A
Kazuo Ushida, currently the senior executive vice president, said the Tokyo-based camera maker plans to spend about $2 billion for mergers and acquisitions in the medical and instruments businesses over the next three years.
"Merger and acquisition will account for a large part of the initial sharp growth" in the medical business, Mr. Ushida said.
Mr. Ushida, who will take over as CEO pending approval at an annual shareholders meeting later this month, said Nikon will hire M&A experts to compile a list of targets and to handle due diligence and postmerger integration. It also will allocate nearly a quarter of its $2.2 billion in planned research-and-development spending for the medical business and new areas.
Nikon's health-focused blueprint for growth mirrors a series of other technology companies, including Toshiba Corp. 6502.TO +1.31% and Hitachi Ltd. 6501.TO +0.41% , that are betting big on rising medical needs as revenue from traditional electronics products tapers off. Rival Canon Inc. also has beefed up its R&D spending on medical devices.
Toshiba and Hitachi have said they are actively hunting for acquisition targets as they look to double their health-care revenue over the next few years.
An increasing number of companies, such as Sony Corp., Samsung Electronics Co.005930.SE -1.44% and Apple Inc., have also launched or plan wearable devices and software to collect and track health data.
While the field is flooded with new competitors, Nikon says it will use its prowess in semiconductor lithography technology to develop, for example, DNA chips—a hot technology for genetic research.
THE GLOBAL TILEFewer than 20% of the world’s nations are experiencing growing population rates.
The elderly population is ballooning in most every developed nation – higher pension, health care, and related costs.
Experts believe that the world’s population will continue growing in the decades ahead, then stagnate and drop. (Global Warming is no longer an issue!)
By 2030
Asia will have 50% of world’s elderly
Asia will have 50% of noncomunnicable diseases – cancer, diabetes
Extremely poor sub-Saharan African States have the highest birthrates

Urgent care centers are quickly emerging as a popular, cost-effective alternative to the emergency department, reports a new study by the Center for Studying Health System Change (HSC) for the nonpartisan, nonprofit National Institute for Health Care Reform.
The growth of nearly 9,000 urgent care centers across the country is driven by consumer-demand for convenient and timely access for care for illnesses and injuries, according to an announcement about the study. At the same time, hospitals are jumping on the bandwagon to gain patients, and health plans view the centers as a way to contain costs by steering patients away from costly ED visits, the study says.
In the past urgent care centers were independently-owned, standalone facilities, but the study says the landscape has changed. Now large urgent care center chains operate in some regions, and hospital systems are establishing these facilities to expand their service area and referral base.
Kanav Kahol returned home to New Delhi in 2011. He was a member of Arizona State University’s department of biomedical informatics. Connect these to a common computer platform and use commercially available tablets to display diagnostic information, thereby dramatically reducing the cost of the medical equipment. He also wanted to repackage the sensor data to make them intelligible to technicians with just basic medical training — the frontline health workers who do the tasks of physicians in parts of the world where physicians are in short supply. Kahol believes that, in high volumes, the Swasthya Slate can be produced for as little as $150 per unit.
for a cost of $11,000. This used an off-the-shelf Android tablet and incorporated a four-lead ECG, medical thermometer, water-quality meter, and heart-rate monitor. They then enhanced this with a 12-lead ECG and sensors for blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rate, blood hemoglobin, urine protein, and glucose. In June 2012, they sent this device to 80 medical labs for testing, which reported that it was as accurate as the medical equipment they used — but more suitable for use in remote and rural areas, because it was built for the rugged conditions there.
