Innovation for health includes the development of new drugs, vaccines, diagnostics and medical devices, as well as new techniques in process engineering and manufacturing, (and new approaches and policies in health systems and services, including a better understanding of human health behaviour)
- Identified areas to form the core of the health research and innovation effort:
- Understanding the social impact of disease
- Creating an environment and technologies to reduce the effect of poverty on the spread of disease
- Developing care and support strategies
- Understanding the challenges in providing access to prevention and care measures
- Developing innovative preventative strategies
- Developing novel therapeutic regimes, including the utilization of indigenous knowledge
- Developing preventive and therapeutic HIV/AIDS vaccines
- Creating a viable vaccine manufacturing industry
- Using appropriate forms of telemedicine to assist in transforming rural health care provision.
Health Innovation Implementation
- Building the Health Innovation System
- Develop and support the translational architecture
- Support strategic priorities
Build the health innovation system
- Market access and impact monitoring
- Engage with govt department responsible for market access
- Establish market monitoring systems
- Foresight exercises
- Capacity and capabilities: Training priorities
- Determine and stimulate high priority areas for capacity-building
- Pharmaceutical discovery and development, preclinical testing, formulation, clinical trials and manufacturing (drugs and biologics/vaccines)
- Ethics in health research and innovation (human, animal, environmental);
- Innovation, product development and IP;
- Monitoring clinical trials (both for community protection and to prevent community push back);
- Process development and scale-up
- Technology development through Technology Platforms:Create mechanisms for making required technology available (e.g. platforms)
- Technology and knowledge transfer: Mechanisms, and incentives for international companies, to encourage knowledge transfer, Mechanism to monitor and learn from technology and knowledge transfer activities, Mechanism to encourage collaboration between local companies
- Product development cycle: Mechanisms to incentivise the private sector to engage in product development, Stimulate the development of piloting capacity in the public and private sectors
- Decision support: review and coordinate legislation and regulations, policies, strategies and guidelines with research community inputs
- Monitoring and evaluation
Translational architecture
- Translational research: Clinical Research and Clinical Trial abilities
- Tools and data analysis: Development of ICT-based tools and technologies for epidemiology and other evidence-based methodologies, Data analysis on individual genomes, validated biomarkers, and treatment outcomes, Use of simple statistical analysis methods
- Information exchange: Encourage knowledge exchange by research organisations and researchers, Develop a knowledge translation framework
- Bioinformatics
- Bio-Portal
Implementation Priorities
- New or improved drugs, therapeutics and drug delivery systems;
- New vaccines or other biologicals
- New or improved diagnostics
- New medical devices;
