Forecast for next 5 years in Lifestyle and Healthcare:
The present healthcare system is essentially a sick care system, built in the middle of the last century. Although there’s been tremendous progress on medical diagnosis and treatments, care delivery hasn’t structurally changed much. It’s still largely bricks and mortar where people who are sick or acutely ill come to be seen and treated by medically trained people. It was never designed to deal with the huge growth of chronic disease which now represents well over 80 per cent of all healthcare spend.
At the moment, if someone doesn’t feel well, they may see their GP, get an appointment with a hospital specialist, have tests or scans, have those results looked at, and then receive the necessary treatment. Some future predictions in world regarding health care - Artificial Intelligence (AI) for healthcare IT Application will cross $1.7 billion by 2019, Asia becomes the New Local Innovation Hub for Global Drug and Device OEMs, Digital health tech catering to out of hospital will grow by 30% and cross $25 billion.
