Annotation: Medicine, as a commodity of a specific nature, is a carrier of value in the sense of improving the quality of life. However, there are benefits as well as risks that we can measure. The use of medicines, if all aspects are observed (time, amount, method of administration, combination with food), can significantly improve health, whereas any failure in treatment can lead to a deterioration in quality of life. How do we calculate the value of a medicine? Can we even measure quality of life and what does it cost us? How much are we willing to pay for health and are innovations in treatment really beneficial and disruptive? What is the near future of diagnosis and treatment? These are not the only questions the lecture will answer.
