2. INTRODUCTION
• It is the positive impact of technology in healthcare. It implies that
diverse technological tools and solutions are utilized to improve the
patient experience, administration, service, make new business
models, and make communication more effective.
• India’s healthcare market is one of the fastest growing, witnessing an
overwhelming growth of nearly 25 per cent in the recent years and
rightly so.
• The Stage for Transformation is Already Set
• Technology, digital literacy, and internet penetration in India is
becoming more pervasive and very impressive
• Few examples of digitalization in the healthcare sector are:
Telemedicine, AI empowered medical devices, and blockchain
electronic health records are just a few.
3. The rise of on-demand healthcare
The wonders of artificial intelligence
Treating patients with virtual reality
The importance of big data in healthcare
Predictive healthcare
The growth of wearable medical devices
Blockchain and the promise of better electronic health records
7 KEY TRENDS
4. 1) The rise of on-demand healthcare
• Own convenience
• On their own time
• Wherever they happen to be.
2) The importance of big data in healthcare
• Lower rate of medication errors
• Facilitating Preventive Care
• More Accurate Staffing
3) Treating patients with virtual reality
4) The growth of wearable medical devices
• Heart rate sensors
• Exercise trackers
• Oxymeters
5. 5) Predictive healthcare
• Predictive analysis could help businesses of all sizes determine when
to hire temporary staff due to impending outbreaks of colds and flu
that could result in a worker shortage.
6)The wonders of artificial intelligence
• Chatbots and virtual health assistants
7) Blockchain and the promise of better electronic health records
• Blockchain is a digital ledger or a computerized database of
transactions.
• An electronic health record (EHR) is basically the digital version of a
medical chart and includes everything from a patient’s medical history
and diagnoses, to treatment plans, immunization dates, and test
results.

11. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
CHALLENGES IN HEALTHCARE
DATA PROCESSING
– The processing and analysis of data.
– Collecting and synchronizing data
CYBERSECURITY
– Extremely costly.
– The three most common vulnerabilities:-
user authentication deficiencies
endpoint leakage
excessive user permissions
– The adoption of IoMT
– Example
12. DIGITAL USER EXPERIENCE
– User-friendly product.
– Easy to use.
– Uncomfortable or poorly designed IoMT device.
– Lack of standards.
FEAR OF ACCEPTANCE
MONEY INVOLVED
FROM TOP TO TOE
14. 1) Start with a baseline
This means looking at what you already have, which includes the
existing legacy systems, patient engagement tools, real-time
location system, electronic health record, and telemetry, etc. Once
you have the information, look into what is working with you and
what could be improved.
2) Conduct a needs assessment
Once you have all the information, involve the design team in
prioritizing department wish lists within budget. Next, think about
the metrics – HCAHPS scores, ROI, patient and staff safety
satisfaction. Lastly, determine how to use technologies for
achieving those key performance indicators.
15. 3)Build out the technology and process roadmap
This begins by working with design team on tech and process
mapping for determining what can be solved with a process, what
needs to be incorporated into a technology. Then, move with an
integrated delivery method, where you clarify the important
questions like who would own the project and who would take
responsibility for the integration.
4) Execute and deliver
It is important to be associated with a Healthcare app
development company that is conscious of all the little details,
keep projects on track, move towards the fulfillment of a vision,
and ensure that the KPIs are met.
16. 5) Ensure ongoing holistic services and support
The first phase is integration testing because if something breaks,
there should be a single point of responsibility and that single
point of responsibility cannot blame anyone else. There should be
clear goals that everyone understands, trust, honesty and
transparency among employees.
18. CONCLUSION
The role of digital platforms like Arogya Setu app, CoWIN,
telemedicine portals, online bookings, teleconsultation, intelligent
diagnosis, online clinical support, smart devices, are among others
during the Covid-19 pandemic has brought the importance of digital
healthcare to the forefront. Government of India has also launched
National Digital Health Mission (NDHM) to digitize the healthcare
records across the country. The National Digital Health Mission
(NDHM) aims to develop the backbone necessary to support the
integrated digital health infrastructure of the country. It will bridge the
existing gap amongst different stakeholders of Healthcare ecosystem
through digital highways.
