Emerging markets are…
Largely self
pay markets
Lack of skilled
professionals
High price
sensitivity
Large
volumes
Inadequate
infrastructure
Low per
capita spends
Large public
health system
Alternate care environments
(~50% of babies in India are
born at home today,
necessitating new products for
neonatal care - until they can
get to a hospital)
...fundamentally different for MedTech Innovators
Open innovation is “the use of purposive inflows
and outflows of knowledge
to accelerate internal innovation
and expand the markets………..”
- Henry Chesbrough
Helps move mind-set beyond device cost & features to
Affordable procedure for the Patient/Doctor
Viable investment for the Hospital….
Leading to a totally different Product…or Process solution!
Market Specific Affordable Products Solutions
Transportation – Auto-Rickshaw
• Affordable
• Road Conditions (congested roads)
• Appropriateness (often used by 1-2 pax only)
Diagnostics – Portable Ultrasound
• Defeatured version of Japanese design
• Clinical excellence at an affordable price
• Increased access via portability
Look outside for ideas and integrate them with internal technology
leading to a new product/solution for a new low-end market
Innovative Affordable Solution Around Product
Godrej & Boyce

sixth of equivalent devices
in the market
Exploit the frugal innovation culture to design and launch new products
Innovation- in Client’s Process & our Product
Outcome in Client’s Process
Developing Product
• What limits user to make
procedure affordable to
patient?
• Productivity?
• Shortage of professionals?
• Associated costs like
consumables?
• Work within Space constraints?
• Service supplies bottleneck?
• Product meets right need of
market?
• Technology reducing cost?
• Manufacturing ?
• New Product ‘speed to market’
• Optimal regulatory pathway?
Affordable solution needs open innovation
Defining Market Specific Unmet Need
If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse.
- Henry Ford II

immersion
• observing not just a specific clinical situation
but the entire cycle of care
• identifying the problem inherent in that
situation / environment
• reshaping one’s understanding of the problem
into a need
