Abstract

The current advancements in digital technologies offer new opportunities for designing and modelling digital business models. In many industries, particularly in healthcare, coordinating and managing relationships with different stakeholders are well-known problems that organizations regularly face. Despite the increasing theoretical and practical relevance of digital business models in healthcare, to date, there is a lack of specific research focused adequately on how value is created, delivered and captured for the various stakeholders in centrally mediated platforms within the healthcare ecosystem. By conducting an exploratory qualitative analysis, this study explores the case of Saluber, an Italian digital start-up offering ridesharing services for non-emergency medical transportation.
