New Methods of Financing Medical Technology in the Czech Republic

Impact Financing funding models, namely Social Impact Bond and Impact Investing, are applied worldwide. However, they do not receive enough attention in the Czech Republic. The present study analyzes closely these methods, describes their functional principles and practices and illustrates them with process maps. Importantly, it is contextualized within the Czech conditions. The study includes an analysis of the application of these methods in the financing of medical technology, especially in the area of assistive technology in home care. At the end, a model is introduced designed for an efficient financing of the device designated for home artificial pulmonary ventilation. The study is supplemented by calculating the sensitivity analysis and the period necessary for the return of the initial investment.
