A captivating read for just about any thoughtful person, Innovation in Medical Technology could serve as an effective springboard for lively teaching sessions in a medical school or residency program, or as a provocative introduction to a course in medical ethics.
This volume serves as an introduction to legal and ethical issues that emerge from medical technological innovation, and to the boundary issues between medical research and clinical practice. It includes policy suggestions for regulation in this gray zone of practice between clinical care and research, as well as a short history of human subjects research.
The work provides both medical practitioners and academicians of various levels of experience with a helpful overview of the complicated dilemmas surrounding innovation in medicine.
Eaton and Kennedy's well-written book is an even-handed examination of the tensions that arise in medical innovation, between treating it as research and considering it an extension of medical practice. They go well beyond the usual framing of the question, 'To IRB or not to IRB?' They address how innovations have emerged historically and cast an eye to the future, using examples from off-label use of drugs, surgical innovation, assisted reproduction, and brain imaging.
