The government has left the Industry behind in Digital Health Adoption

Digital Health: The Government is ahead, and the industry is behind

In my previous blog, I wrote about how the patients are catching up with the future technologies and the doctors are still catching up with the past. Today, I write about how the government is much-much ahead of the industry and HCPs when it comes to Digital Health.

In a world that's rapidly digitalizing every aspect of our lives, the healthcare industry is no exception. Yet, many healthcare professionals and organizations are behind the curve when adopting digital health solutions. If you've been wondering how to catch up and, more importantly, stay ahead, Global Digital Health Summit 2024 is where you need to be.

Are You Behind the Adoption Curve - Here’s a Reality Check?

Despite the explosion of digital health innovations, a major thrust by the Government is visible through the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). ABHA ID’s about to reach 700 million, and digital consultations through eSanjeevani nearing 300 million, and the Drugs Controller General of India has already approved Digital Therapeutics for two companies, and more will follow soon.

If a few like you are still hesitant to fully embrace these changes- then you have to conclude that the Government is much further ahead than you. With Health Claims Exchange in the offing and more tech adoption from the Government on the way, you could be bracing for an uncertain future whether you are a doctor or a healthcare organization. The biggest risk today for you is not being aware of what is going on!

The Summit That Can Help You Leap Ahead

Your patients are ready for the future—are you?

Patients are in the digital age and waiting for digital health, in contrast, many private sector players are still in the early stages of adopting digital health solutions. While startups and tech companies are pushing the envelope, the broader industry has been slower to adapt and still harping on their glorious past. Just imagine what happened to 英特尔 . Every computer used to have a sticker saying 'Intel Inside,' but by not moving ahead with changes, Intel reported a $1.6 billion loss for April to June 2024. If Intel can incur such losses, imagine what might happen to companies that do not pull up their sleeves; it could lead to an existential crisis for some like you.

The Global Digital Health Summit 2024: Your Turning Point in the Journey to Digital Health Excellence

The landscape of healthcare is evolving at an unprecedented pace, driven by rapid advancements in digital technology. As the world embraces this transformation, the question for many healthcare professionals and organizations is not whether to join the digital health revolution, but how to lead it. The Global Digital Health Summit 2024 is set to be the turning point for those on the quest to be the best in this burgeoning field.

A Pivotal Moment in Digital Health

The summit arrives at a critical juncture where the integration of technology into healthcare is no longer optional but essential. Patients are demanding more personalized and efficient care, while emerging technologies are redefining the delivery of health services. To stay relevant and competitive, healthcare providers must not only understand these technologies but also effectively implement them. This summit is your opportunity to make that leap.

?Why don’t we livestream it? Face-to-Face Meetings Matter The Most

“Face-to-face interaction is the broadest bandwidth communication you can have. It allows you to read body language, build trust, and form relationships that are hard to replicate through a screen.” - Richard Branson, Founder of Virgin Groups

Richard Branson’s perspective captures a fundamental truth about human connection. Despite the convenience of digital communication, in-person meetings offer a richness and depth that simply can’t be replicated online. This is especially true in professional settings where trust, rapport, and nuanced understanding are crucial.

“Conferences are not just about learning new information. They’re about building relationships, gaining inspiration, and finding opportunities that you didn’t even know existed.” - Sheryl Sandberg, Former COO of Facebook (Now Meta )

Sheryl Sandberg highlights the multifaceted value of conferences. While they are certainly a venue for learning, they also serve as a breeding ground for innovation and collaboration. When professionals come together in person, they share not just knowledge but also energy and enthusiasm that can spark new ideas and partnerships.

"In-person meetings build stronger bonds. You can look someone in the eye, shake their hand, and have a more honest and meaningful exchange. That’s the foundation of trust." - Tim Cook, CEO of Apple

Trust is the cornerstone of any successful professional relationship, and it’s built much more effectively through face-to-face interactions. According to Tim Cook, the ability to connect on a personal level can make all the difference in establishing trust and rapport.

“When you meet in person, you engage in a level of communication that is richer and more nuanced. It’s not just about what you say, but how you say it—body language, tone, and presence all play a role.” - Indra Nooyi, Former CEO of PepsiCo

Indra Nooyi emphasizes that face-to-face communication allows for a full spectrum of interaction, including non-verbal cues and subtleties that can be lost in virtual meetings. This leads to more effective and meaningful exchanges, reducing misunderstandings and fostering better collaboration.

"Being in the same room with people from your industry opens up spontaneous opportunities for networking. Some of the best deals and collaborations happen over a coffee break or casual conversation." - Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft

Satya Nadella points out the serendipitous nature of in-person conferences. The informal interactions and spontaneous conversations that occur in hallways, during lunch breaks, or at networking events can lead to unexpected opportunities and collaborations that might never happen in a virtual setting.

“Conferences provide a change of environment that can be incredibly inspiring. You’re surrounded by people who are passionate and driven, and that energy is contagious. It’s a great way to recharge and refocus.” - Melinda Gates, Co-Chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Melinda Gates notes the motivational aspect of conferences. Being in a dynamic environment with like-minded professionals can reignite your passion for your work and provide fresh perspectives. This kind of inspiration is hard to come by in the routine of daily office life or through virtual meetings.

The Global Digital Health Summit will remain a face-to-face summit where the best of minds meet, great human beings come together with a common goal of making ‘Digital Health For All’ a reality by 2028 – 50 years of Alma Ata.        

When the Government is ahead in implementing Digital Health, the future is a foregone conclusion: adopt or perish!

This a summit of doers and creators, and you will find all leaders who deliver, at this summit.

It’s a leadership summit. If you want to know who are leaders in #Digital Health, meet us on the 4th and 5th October at the Jio World International Convention Centre (JWICC)
