Cost-effective innovations for healthcare

Gastrointestinal diseases are a growing world-wide concern, with related medical, ethical and financial problems. World-wide, gastrointestinal diseases are the most common cause for people to seek treatment or suffer problems due to a lack of treatment. As the population ages, the need for healthcare will increase further, leading to an urgent requirement for new, cost-effective solutions.

The numerous health-related problems caused by smoking are the most common preventable form of mortality in western countries.
