"The auto industry's W. Edwards Deming said that 'innovation comes from the producer, not the customer.' ICT companies have proven this time and again in consumer electronics, and now it is time for them to do the same in healthcare." – Senior Research Analyst Heather Keyes, IDC Health Insights, IDC CEMA
