Then, the structure of the problem was identified in the form of causal-loop diagrams and accumulation stock and flow map. After testing the model in the fourth stage, four scenarios for improving the innovation ecosystem in the fifth stage were evaluated. Analysis of the scenarios showed that improving government rules, reducing bureaucracy, and increasing the percentage of profits that industry should devote to research and development have the greatest impact on the dissemination of health innovation.
