How Can Digital Transformation Revolutionize Patient Care?

The advent of personalized medicine combined with genomics and bioinformatics, is revolutionizing patient treatment.

With the integration of digital transformation technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), genomics, and robotics in healthcare, patients can access precise diagnosis and treatment, paving the way for personalized and efficient care delivery.

According to data and analytics company GlobalData's FutureTech Series report, more than 50 disruptive forces in healthcare are emerging, accelerating, and maturing innovation areas based on their rate of growth in innovation ().

Healthcare to Benefit from Digital Transformation, Says Global IT Major Infosys Co-founder and Chairman Nandan Nilekani
Healthcare would one of the big sectors that would benefit from digital transformation, global IT major Infosys co-founder and Chairman Nandan Nilekani.

‘As we enter healthcare 5.0, digital technologies such as remote continuous monitoring devices, electronic medical records (EMR) natural language processing, genome sequence analysis tools, and robotic surgery systems are set to transform healthcare.’

"Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, doctors can now analyze a patient's genetic makeup to prescribe treatments that are most likely to be effective," said Kiran Raj, Practice Head of Disruptive Tech at GlobalData, in a statement.

"These innovations provide real-time data insights, accuracy in medical procedures, and enhanced patient care management. The integration of such technologies in healthcare has improved patient outcomes and opened new avenues for research and development in the industry," said Vaibhav Gundre, Project Manager of Disruptive Tech at GlobalData, in the statement.

Digital Transformation in Healthcare

EMR natural language processing is transforming healthcare by efficiently analyzing vast patient data to identify at-risk populations.

Genome sequence analysis tools are essential to understand gene function and genetic diseases. These software programmes analyse DNA and RNA sequences, performing functions like variant calling, quality control, and read alignment.

Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare - An Overview
Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is the discipline using data intensive computer based solutions to improve patient care and outcome.

Robotic surgery systems are sophisticated medical tools that allow surgeons to carry out minimally invasive procedures with enhanced accuracy, control, and versatility.

The report also highlighted the significant risks involved in the healthcare transformation, stressing the need for careful implementation considering privacy, ethics, and equity.
