    A Microchip in Your Medicine

    Re: Richard G. Hamermesh

    Digitally-enabled prescription medication may sound futuristic. Thanks to Proteus, the future is now. The company has developed the technology to place microchips inside prescription pills, allowing doctors to retrieve real-time updates on everything from dosing, to vital signs, to the efficacy of different medications. However, regulating and marketing such ground-breaking technology is almost as complicated as the medical conditions it can help cure.

    Health Care Under a Research Microscope

    by Sean Silverthorne

    Perhaps no industry has caught the research attention of Harvard Business School faculty as much as health care. Researchers are investigating business-focused solutions on everything from improving team work among surgical teams to developing market motivations that increase the use of water purification in poor villages. Key concepts include: The $2 trillion American health care system has grown bloated and overly expensive, and it delivers poor service to many patients. Harvard Business School faculty are looking at the system through a business management perspective to recommend changes in almost all aspects of health care research and delivery. Around the world, HBS researchers are studying ways to improve medical services to the poor using techniques that include everything from motivational marketing to microfinance.
