Editor's Notes

- I begin by showing some scattered examples of patient innovation, a sample of those present in existent literature on the subject. Two examples worth highlighting are Dr. Bernsteins’, the first person to read and manage daily his blood sugar levels + Tal Golesworthy, who saved his life by creating a coating device for his aorta with an anheurism, also saving later more than 20 people. This phenomenon has also already been acknowledged by recognised individuals in the areas of innovation and medicine, such as Prof. Eric von Hippel, father of the user innovation area of knowledge and Sir Richard Roberts, Nobel Laureate

- When confronted with a chronic disease that has a high mortality rate or changes day-to-day habits, a person may simply accept “fate” and give up. That was not a case of Amit Goffer. He was paralyzed in a car crash, but instead of accepting his disability, he used his skills as an engineer to invent a device which could help him get out of his wheelchair. He invented electronic trousers ReWalk (Figure 7) that, with computer and complex construction, help paraplegics to stand and walk. It is now available in rehabilitation hospitals and centers in Europe and in the USA. He is also the founder of a company that produces the device. Among patient innovations, there are “old” examples of devices we take for granted in our daily life since they have become so common. Bifocals were invented by Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, who started to have trouble seeing both up-close and at a distance as he got older. Being tired of switching between two types of glasses, he thought of a way to have both types of lenses in one frame. Another interesting example is the band aid. Earle Dickson’s wife often cut herself while doing housework and cooking. Dickson found that the gauze stuck to a wound with tape didn't stay on her active fingers. One day, he took the gauze and placed it in the center of the tape and covered it with crinoline to keep it sterile and safe. This was the invention of the band aid
