Title (English)
When HUGO comes to visit Seniors' healthcare
A supply and demand study based on
demographic changes and biotechnology advancements
Title (Swedish) Abstract
New substances and healthcare solutions are assumed to be guided by prospective profits, i.e.
customer willingness to pay and innovative technologies to provide. This study matches the demands of customers with the possible solutions as seen by suppliers. Demand has been identified by demographic changes that correlate with disease developments. Supply, on the other hand, has been linked to new research developments in biotechnology focusing on the opportunities emerging from the Human Genome Project (HUGO).
