Dear Tim, The use of data can be really a good model. Lets look at it this way : (i) All pharma companies need pharmacological research (I mean the effect of their medicines/...) (ii) They do spend a lot of money doing this research.
Its not a bad idea for them to use the data. But this may not be able to fund entire cost. Another idea is : (i) If there is paid delivery of services, charge a small fee (you need to be really good at costing & pricing of BOO/T, build own operate/transfer projects) per transaction from the customer. (ii) A lot of reasearch work is done in medicine by various organisations and individuals, the data can be useful for them. How ever, the data is utilisable only if you can run a very intelligent pattern recognition software. You could plot it on a GIS and make use of other geographical parameters to match against type of ground water/soil type/....... Another thing which can be done is : the drug prescription module can first show up medicines from the funding pharma company to help the funding. We have been looking at such models espcially for funding govt projects. Do let me know if you can think of any other models. Regards.
