  • "Digital health care platforms, if done right and implemented well, can be a large step in solving the productivity crisis in health care," concludes Frishammar, professor of entrepreneurship and innovation at Luleå University of Technology in Sweden.
  • They conducted 108 interviews in 14 organizations — four major digital primary care platforms, two platform technology developers, five established public and private health care providers, two health care agencies, and the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions — and with individual users of digital health platforms.
