Welcome to the new frontier of healthcare

The future of healthcare is digital –
but what does that mean for you?

The healthcare consumer journey has radically transformed, permanently.

Patients and doctors alike have enjoyed endless benefits from digital health and are actively choosing to use digital channels for consultations, treatments, and ongoing care delivery.

The industry has recognized this and responded with enthusiasm.

However, despite the surge, adoption still remains slower in the Asia Pacific region compared to other rapidly evolving industries.

Why is digitalization in healthcare lagging behind?

According to Philips, the healthcare industry has a unique set of digitalization challenges, including:

Inconsistent data across service providers and facilities
Data and cyber security concerns
Legacy systems that cannot be updated with new software
Budgetary restrictions and low budget priority
Lack of training to fully utilize digital technologies
Culture and mindset that is resistant to transformation

To overcome these challenges, healthcare service providers need the right digital tools that will reduce internal friction, and address security, budgetary, and interoperability concerns.
