Some of the core concepts of global advancements in healthcare include creativity, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
In order to improve healthcare, it is important that creativity needs to be utilized as the first step for innovation, which tends to come from anywhere and at different levels within an organization. Innovation is a necessity for healthcare and in the future, especially when keeping in mind the growing demands on the healthcare system that are being driven by the changes in patients’ needs.
The need for personalized patient care needs to be pursued, which is why scientific aspects and technological advancements are becoming the core of healthcare innovation. Consequently worldwide medical experts and leaders in the healthcare industry are constantly working towards creating an environment that can empower and support teams and individuals to become more productive within the industry.
Being able to implement said environments, these individuals and teams are able to focus on their creativity, and by nurturing that mindset, you can enable innovation in their work – driving their entrepreneurial spirit to its full potential. This also helps them to apply the core business principles to their work, leading to the development of new inventions, products or services into commercially viable medical innovations that can change the way of the healthcare industry forever.
Fortunately, innovation in healthcare has already started to become a widespread idea among the people. Individuals like Shu Li are some of the few leading professionals in the healthcare industry who have brought about much innovation to improve life expectancy and enhance the quality of life.
Shu Li is a highly acclaimed professor, scientist, serial entrepreneur and senior corporate executive who has founded a number of enterprises within the healthcare, semiconductor, biomedical sectors – some of which include Cellular BioMedicine Group, Helio Genomics, WA Health Centers and many more.
His professional career began when he worked in the Department of Systems Engineering faculty at the University of Arizona in 1987 – a time when he partnered with Dr. Shigeo Shingo, the father of Toyota Production Systems.
Over the years, he accomplished many notable achievements, some of which include managing the 7×24 operations of one of Intel’s largest semiconductor fabrications facilities in the United States and leading a research and development pilot production of three semiconductor chip factories in Motorola’s Arizona R&D.
Most of Li’s work in healthcare revolves around regenerative medicine, anti-aging medicine, and functional medicine for more than 30 years. Alongside his wife, Li had founded PingClinic – later named Infinity for Health – a Laguna Beach-based integrative medicine clinic.
At the age of 47, Li decided to focus all of his time and energy into saving lives through commercializing breakthrough medical and biomedical technologies while simultaneously continuing his serial entrepreneurship ventures. Due to his determined efforts, he founded businesses like WA. Health Centers, a high-end medical services provider, operated two medical centers in prime locations in Shanghai and Beijing that eventually ended up merging with iKang Group in 2015.
Another one of his notable achievements include the founding of Cellular BioMedicine Group – a prestigious biopharmaceutical company in CAR-T cancer immunotherapy and stem cell joint regeneration, which became public on NASDAQ in 2014.
