innovation. This entry reports recent innovations in healthcare based on the researches of
Omachonu & Einspruch (2017) and Silva et al. (2018).
Research-based innovation is imperative in ensuring organizational continuity in the
present environment of healthcare. Over the past few years, various groups and organizations
have taken part in this expansive venture. This has been made possible by finances from
enterprising individuals and organizations. The research of Silva et al. (2018) on the introduction
of responsible innovation in healthcare, for instance, was a scholarship product. Other parties
