On the one hand, they are bringing about continuous improvements in the diagnosis, treatment and cure of diseases; on the other, they are capturing increasing shares of GDP in many countries and have been found to be primary driver of healthcare expenditures.??Understanding processes of change in the health care sector deserves more attention than it currently receives in the literature on the economics of innovation.
