Medical research follows distinct trajectories, requiring scientists and researchers to make choices about which scientific pathways to pursue and which to omit. This decision-making process is constrained by factors such as limited resources, attention, and time. Consequently, the trajectory of medical progress is characterized by two fundamental aspects: rate and direction. These two components form the basis of this book, which seeks to understand the forces that determine the pace and direction of progress in medicine.
The book brings together expertise from various fields, including scientific policy, economics, sociology, philosophy, and innovation, to explore the underlying factors that shape the world of medical research. It delves into the contemporary issues that impact medical progress, such as flawed incentive structures, the concentration of power and resources among a few actors and disease groups, the potential distorting effects of lobbying by different scientific actors, and the lack of novelty in drug development.
By examining these issues, the book aims to provide insights into how we can improve medical research and foster a more efficient and effective healthcare system. It offers practical solutions and recommendations to address these challenges and promote a more equitable and sustainable approach to medical research.
In conclusion, this book offers a comprehensive exploration of the forces that determine the rate and direction of medical progress. By bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise, it provides valuable insights into the contemporary issues facing medical research and offers practical solutions to improve the future of healthcare.
