in-licensing, by the management entity, a diverse group of healthcare technologies; obtaining a funding pool to be allocated for development of said group; forming a group of business units which is each responsible for developing at least one of the group of technologies, and where distribution to each business unit from the funding pool is determined by the management entity and each business unit reports its technology development progress, available and projected funding for development, and expenditures to the management entity; pooling the management entity and business unit personnel to manage development of the group of technologies; determining, by the pool, the likelihood of each business unit to obtain a collaborator or outside funding to develop its technology; distributing funding to a unit from the funding pool and/or determining whether to actively assist each business unit in seeking collaboration or outside funding based on said likelihood; assisting, by the pool, business units with approval and commercialization of their technology such that the technology is used to treat or diagnose patients; and wherein the website discusses the pool's activities as a way of attracting additional technologies, funding and collaborators, to thereby enlarge the pool and increase the pool's expertise.
