NextGen Invent Corporation
In the last few decades, the advent of technology has touched almost all aspects of our lives. One field, in particular, that has seen major growth and transformation due to technology is the healthcare field.
Healthcare has been the Achilles heel of India for far too long now. Despite massive planning by successive governments over the years, the healthcare field is still in a precarious situation. The COVID pandemic has fully exposed the vulnerabilities and shortcomings of the healthcare sector in India. One of the biggest challenges that remains is the extremely disproportionate doctor-patient ratio in India. So, in response, various governmental and private stakeholders have been consistently trying over the last few years to leverage the recent technological advances to ensure affordable, quality, and timely healthcare for everyone in the country.
India is a huge and diverse country in many aspects; the most prominent aspect being the socioeconomic situation of individuals. Therefore, one can infer the difficulty faced in trying to ensure quality healthcare for everyone in a society with traditional thinking and planning. At this juncture, advancements in Health Tech have been able to change the narrative up to a large extent.
Accessibility, affordability, and availability are the three major elements to be considered in regard to the healthcare sector in India. Technology is helping to address all these parameters and plenty of innovations are underway for people-friendly solutions.
Artificial intelligence, data analytics and big data have been utilized and leveraged by various start-ups and government bodies to create services and products that allow healthcare to be more readily available to the masses. The COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed the adoption of these technologies much faster than we imagined and transformed the face of healthcare in India.
The Health Tech revolution is still in its nascent phase in India. We can expect some major disruptive innovations in the coming years, around Health Tech. Proper and just use of technology can surely reduce the burden on the doctors. This great unfolding Health Tech revolution will make healthcare more affordable, accessible, and available to everyone in our society.
