- Virtual and Remote Clinical Trials adoption will increase and focus on efficiency and patient-centricity,
- Robotics for surgery and care assistance within hospitals will attain high penetration,
- The ongoing digital transformation and the smart city concept will push the need for hospitals to become ‘Smart Hospitals’, Asia-pacific countries will take the lead in this project,
- Despite increased investments by healthcare stakeholders cyber-attacks on the industry are expected to double during 2018, and
- Incentive-based wellness programs will gain more popularity globally and data insight-driven incentives impacting premiums will become standard for payer-corporate partnerships.
“Even though 2017 was a year full of spectacular advancements in healthcare, 2018 will be the year of digital health technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), big data analytics, and robotics,” said Frost & Sullivan Transformational Health industry analyst Kamaljit Behera. “Non-healthcare companies will continue to collaborate with healthcare industry players to transform these technologies into actionable applications that will drive growth opportunities across the globe.”
