The convergence of healthcare is driving revolutionary changes in the way how healthcare is delivered. Traditionally, healthcare has operated through fragmented verticals like hospitals, pharmacies, insurance providers, and medical device manufacturers. However, newer technologies enable a more integrated approach by bringing together disparate parts of the healthcare ecosystem. This convergence of telemedicine with remote patient monitoring, connected medical devices, digitization of health records, and integration with artificial intelligence is helping shift the focus from sick care to preventive care. The ability to collect comprehensive real-time data on patients remotely and analyze them through advanced analytics is helping providers deliver more proactive, personalized, and affordable care.
