World Cancer Day on 4th February is a timely reminder of the critical role that healthcare innovations play in saving lives and improving patient outcomes. Advancements in technology, treatments, and patient-centric care are also powering growth in the global healthcare industry. According to a recent forecast,[1] the healthcare services market is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0% to hit $10.91 trillion by 2028 from $8.34 trillion in 2023.
The innovations are evident in healthcare delivery, the most noticeable function of the health industry. Telehealth platforms, for instance, enable remote consultations and real-time patient monitoring, giving underserved populations better access to care while electronic health record systems help consolidate patient records, speeding coordination and diagnosis. When they are integrated with wearable devices and AI-powered diagnostic systems, operational efficiency and patient outcomes improve further.
