Digital disruption shaking up healthcare industry
Digital disruption is shaking things up across multiple verticals, and healthcare infrastructure is enjoying a unique and busy time.
As pointed out by ExtremeTech, “At CES 2018, digital health took center stage.” Additional tech publications and blogs agreed, sharing similar opinions.
Everything from sleep, fertility, breastfeeding, vision, diabetes, senior care, and other patient-centric technologies were displayed.
The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on healthcare alone is substantial, as noted by Reportlinker:
”Artificial intelligence in healthcare has the potential to improve health outcomes by 30 percent to 40 percent whereas reducing healthcare costs by as much as 50 percent. The top three AI health applications that correspond to the maximum near-term value are robot-assisted surgery, virtual nursing assistants and administrative workflow assistance with market valued of USD40 billion, USD20 billion and USD18 billion respectively.”
