Digitalization of HealthCare Industry

Gone are the times when good health care only meant well qualified doctors, high class infra structure of hospitals and cheap medicines.

Undoubtedly COVID raised challenges that forced us to realize the need to bridge the gap between hospitals and humans through digitalization.

A study published by Deloitte, in turn, shows that as many as 92% of medical professionals and medical facilities have achieved productivity gains just through digital transformation.

Below are some of the basic benefits that could be drawn through digitalization of Medical Industry:

Research and Development- launch of new technologies helped the Practitioners and researchers gather data all over the world in form of symptoms, spot patterns and incorporate them for further research and analyze , and all of this is done via mobile apps, pocket size tools.

Quick Appointments- We no longer need to visit doctors just to get the prescription or stand in long queues or endless wait over calls to get doctors appointment. And all this is possible due to the seamless technologies used to develop web , mobile applications.

Consolidated Medical Record History- Its a good luck if you could find your lab reports just when you needed them, but with the help of digital product you could not only view your lab reports but also get a self explanatory and easy to understand graph displaying your health state.

Easy communication -There are apps that let patients chat with their doctors through a digital platform and you get the best advice without really visiting the Hospital and saving the doctors time for more critical needs

Health Insurance Updates- The pain of following up with Insurance companies over approval on medicines, lab tests etc is very much real. But having an application where all the approvals and rejections are notified instantly is a cool breeze over the hassle of calling the clinic multiple times just to know the status.

Wearable Health Monitoring Devices- Wearable health monitoring devices have become extremely popular in recent times due to their ability to track various health and fitness aspects. These devices provide real-time data about the user's physical activity, vital signs, and overall well-being.

Though there are many more benefits of digitalizing the health care industry, but at the same time we need to seriously invest efforts to ensure that we manage large amounts of data properly and that we are fully compliant with cybersecurity, data privacy and integrity rules and regulations, and Hospitals must be ready to adapt and manage influx in patient data.
