Today, approximately 125,000,000 people require humanitarian assistance as the result of famine, war, geopolitical conflict, and natural disasters. A core component of this suffering is afflictions related to human health, where disturbances strain or overwhelm the existing healthcare infrastructure to create the conditions for an increase in morbidities and co-morbidities. One of the more startling elements is the loss of life to preventable medical conditions that were not properly treated or even diagnosed in the field, and is often due to the limited interventional capacity that medical teams and humanitarian practitioners have in these scenarios. These individuals are often hindered by medical equipment deficiencies or devices not meant to function in austere conditions. The development of highly versatile, feasible, and cost-effective medical devices and technologies that can be deployed in the field is essential to enhancing medical care in unconventional settings. In this book we examine the nature of the creative problem-solving paradigm, and dissect the intersection of frugal, disruptive, open, and reverse innovation processes in advancing humanitarian medicine. Specifically, we examine the feasible deployment of these devices and technologies in unconventional environments not only by humanitarian aid and disaster relief agencies, but also by crisis-affected communities themselves. The challenge is complex, but the financial support and technical development of innovative solutions for the delivery of humanitarian aid is a process in which everyone is a stakeholder. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Bioengineering,$x2193-097X 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aHealth promotion 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aPoverty 606 $aBiomedical Engineering/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B24000 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700X 606 $aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27010 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aDevelopment Aid$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913040 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aHealth promotion. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aPoverty. 615 14$aBiomedical Engineering/Biotechnology. 615 24$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 615 24$aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Aid. 676 $a362.1 700 $aRamadurai$b Krish W$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0766795 702 $aBhatia$b Sujata K$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337464603321 996 $aReimagining Innovation in Humanitarian Medicine$91921315 997 $aUNINA
