Technology transforming Healthcare – Manthan on August 11, 2016
We are living in exciting times. Technology is transforming every aspect of the way we live. Perhaps no area is more important or more profound than the innovations we are seeing in healthcare. As we look to leverage technology to increase access to information, drive better patient outcomes and unlock mysteries hidden in plain sight, it is imperative that we work together towards redefining Healthcare delivery. From Smartphones, apps, and wearables empowering patients, doctors, and caregivers to Big Data uncovering patterns, problems, and opportunities in healthcare, we have come a long way to help better understand disease patterns and develop newer treatments.
Innovation through co-creation is driving the change to help broaden access to the under-served populations across geographies. With all of these technological advances before us in the 21st century, it’s time for bold ideas and design solutions to deliver equitable and efficient healthcare services to all those in need.
