Although much PHS technology has already been developed and could potentially provide virtually everyone with access to personalized healthcare, research driven primarily by a technology push may fail, because it fails to situate PHS within the wider health and social care service systems. In this article, we explore the scattered PHS research and innovation landscape, as well its relevant markets, using several types of analyses: bibliometrics, patent analysis, social network analysis, stakeholder workshops, and interviews. Our analyses aim to identify critical issues in the development and implementation of service systems around PHS technologies. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 5 %P 46-57 %8 02/2015 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/873 %N 2 %1 Austrian Institute of Technology Doris Schartinger is a Scientist at the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Vienna, Austria. She studied Economics, and her primary focus of research is technological change and economic development. She covered many aspects of innovation processes and diffusion in private manufacturing firms, public organizations, public-private networks, and service innovation. Her recent projects concentrated on innovation in the healthcare service system and intellectual property rights as indicators for innovation. She has been involved in a number of contract research projects for different clients and is experienced in co-ordinating and managing such projects.

By reviewing the relevant literature, detailed propositions are built based on the integration of theoretical concepts, thereby combining the literature on service-dominant logic, platforms, and social media. The primary argument of the article is that embedding social platforms in a company's services may result in more efficient retrieval and understanding of customer insights, better management of customer intelligence, and ultimately higher value-in-use. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 4 %P 26-34 %8 04/2014 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/782 %N 4 %1 Aalto University Ville Eloranta, MSc (Tech), is a doctoral student in the Service Engineering and Management (SEM) research group at Aalto University School of Science, Finland.
