The last few years have witnessed a massive shift in the management of healthcare services. Healthcare and life-sciences leaders recognized, and emphasized on the strategic value of technology solutions for efficiently and effectively managing clinical workflows, patient outcomes from data analytics, remote monitoring technologies, etc.
While leveraging the Cloud offers powerful incentives for this industry, CIOs seek solutions that align with existing systems, maintain the standards of compliance & quality assurance, and enhance data integrity & service reliability. The future is now, and digital transformation seems predestined. AI-driven decisions, patient-centric digital care, and data-enabled insights poise to be integral pillars of this transformation.
At the recent edition of ‘Digital Leaders Club’ curated by CORE Media and powered by Google Cloud India, CIOs from the healthcare industry and Google Cloud India executives discussed the different aspects of how cutting-edge technologies are making rapid advancements in the sector and what are the new use cases that will be introduced in the near future.
