The centre will act as an open innovation lab for the Group’s future mobility research and development.
Almost one-third of the healthcare organizations in Asia/Pacific are well aligned with their ecosystem, according to IDC FERS Survey 2021. However, sustainability lies in effectively handling the headwinds, tailwinds, and crosswinds by the healthcare organizations, by sensing the future technological trends. These predictions provide the digital health trends in the region, to enable healthcare organizations to be proactive, instead of just being reactive.
The report emphasizes a rapid shift from hospital-centric to patient-centric care delivery. Widespread deployment of telehealth and digital front door, lead consumers in Asia/Pacific in looking at better integrated care. Although digital front door strategy plays a critical role across the care continuum, a combination of physical and digital access while defining and designing integrated care must be ensured for countries in the region. Unique ecosystem models are essential in addressing digital divide and looping the most remote patient in the countries.
This report addressed various factors such as widening gaps across healthcare, ignoring chronic patients and digital skill-shortage under headwinds, government mandates, pandemic-driven disruption, emergence of healthtech start-ups and ecosystem-based approaches under tailwinds and impact of climate, disaggregated care model, population health and patient empowerment under crosswinds in framing the predictions.
“The transformative change that the healthcare industry in Asia/Pacific is currently navigating through is primarily driven by consumer preferences, healthtech firms, and evolving healthtech ecosystems. Going forward, as the shift from hospital-centric care to patient-centric care happens, stakeholders of the healthcare ecosystem in Asia/Pacific will have increased focus on a ‘care anywhere’ approach, which is increasingly data-driven, to make the care system more accessible, affordable, and scalable,” says Manoj Vallikkat, Research Manager, IDC Asia/Pacific Healthcare Insights.
IDC’s Healthcare Industry top 10 predictions provide guidance for business leaders on how to best navigate the healthcare ecosystem moving forward.
Privacy, Monetization, and Consent: By 2024, multiple governments in Asia/Pacific will tighten regulations regarding health data sharing, consent, and monetization after at least five overaggressive incidents exploiting interoperability.
Value-Based Infrastructure: By 2024, 50 per cent of healthcare organizations’ attempts to scale value-based care models will fail unless they invest in data-driven governance, operations, and organizational infrastructure in Asia/Pacific.
Personalized Care: By 2025, 30 per cent of chronic care patients in Asia/Pacific will truly own and openly leverage their personal health information to advocate for, secure, and realize better personalized care.
Care Anywhere: Through 2024, growth in “care anywhere” programs in Asia/Pacific will increase discontinuity of care and data fragmentation, resulting in a doubling of a patients’ risk for adverse medical events.
AI-Driven Predictive Care: By 2025, 35 per cent more providers in Asia/Pacific will have adopted AI-driven solutions and algorithms to support predictive care models.
Next-Generation Workforce: By 2026, 50 per cent of healthcare organizations in Asia/Pacific will rely on hybrid workplaces and models to battle digital burnout, reframe workforce roles, and create seamless employee experiences.
Prescription Digital Therapeutics: By 2026, the market for prescription digital therapeutics in Asia/Pacific will more than triple, led by mental health and chronic conditions, blurring the boundaries between healthcare and life sciences.
5G: By 2026, one out of three hospitals in Asia/Pacific will be 5G enabled to accelerate innovation in medical imaging, remote care, internet of medical things, and immersive services.
CRAACO: Integrated research organizations in Asia/Pacific will double in number by 2027, fueling the adoption of clinical research as a care option within the healthcare ecosystem.
Ambient Interfaces: By 2027, ambient interfaces powered by intelligent speech recognition, sensors, and/or gesture-based controls will be used by 40 per cent of healthcare professionals and 20 per cent of households in Asia/Pacific.
