Especially in the healthcare context, such intermediaries deploy interactive online platforms to foster co-creation between engaged healthcare consumers and innovation-seeking healthcare companies. In three empirical studies, this book outlines the key characteristics of online intermediaries in healthcare, their distinct strategies, and the remaining challenges in the field. Readers will also be introduced to the stages companies go through in adopting such co-created solutions.  As such, the work appeals for both its academic scope and practical reach.Progress in IS.Medical careComputer network resourcesMedical careComputer network resources.362.1Künne Christoph W.1060581MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298188203321Online intermediaries for co-creation2514356UNINA
