In today’s healthcare system, there are many characteristics and forces that make up the complex structure. Health care delivery is a complex system that involves many people that navigate it with hopes of a better outcome to the residents of the United States. Many factors affect the system starting from global influences, social values and culture. Further factors include economic conditions, physical environment, technology development, economic conditions, political climate and population characteristics. Furthermore the main characteristics of the Unites States healthcare system includes: no agency governs the whole system, access to healthcare is restricted based on the coverage and third party agencies exist. Unfortunately many people are in power of the healthcare system involving multiple payers. Physicians are pressured to order unnecessary tests to avoid potential legal risks. Quality of care is a major component; therefore it creates a demand for new technology. A more close investigation will review two main characteristics and two external forces that currently affect the healthcare delivery system. Furthermore, what will be the impact of one of the characteristics and one of the external forces in review with the new affordable care act 2010? The review will demonstrate the implications to the healthcare delivery system and the impact on the affordable care act 2010.

This chapter aims to answer the sub-research question: “What is the innovative position of Patient Innovation (PI) and what value propositions can be generated from the innovation?” In order to answer this question, the innovation study follows the framework suggested by Alänge and Lundqvist (2014), which includes an explanation of the platform, the Intellectual Property (IP) protection, current status, next steps, value visions, and competitive landscape of PI. In addition, an explanation about the healthcare system in Norway and the expected impact of PI on it are also presented in this chapter. However, the market quantification and financial plan are presented in the business plan part of this thesis.
