3 technology trends for the healthcare market

The healthcare sector is currently experiencing a major technological breakthrough. Recent technological advances include faster and more accurate diagnoses, robotic surgery, and the convenience of telemedicine.

In addition, the Covid-19 emergency has accelerated modernizing healthcare environments. The benefits of these advances are still being recognized today and continue to evolve. 

Discover the key technologies that are transforming healthcare.

Technology in Healthcare in Brazil

Recently, IPEA data confirmed that technology applied to healthcare is a reality. The study states that in 2022, eight out of ten nurses will use a digital method to register patient data. Among doctors, 85% digitized the list of medicines prescribed to patients.

The aim is to prevent and treat diseases and improve the population's access to healthcare services through the increasing use of technology in the healthcare sector.

The benefits of integrating technology into healthcare are promising and are already being experienced. Some of the most important are:

  • Improving the accuracy of processes.
  • Automating the management of patient data.
  • Developing new and more effective solutions. 
  • Promote personalized treatments based on analysis of patient health parameters and medical history.
  • Staying ahead of the competition. 
  • Provide more efficient and less bureaucratic services.
  • Improve patient comfort and safety.
  • Improve accessibility for rural populations.

Technology Trends for the Healthcare Market

The continuous investment in advancing innovation has led to improving processes and services for the general health and well-being of the population. The trends continue to grow and may soon be present in the medical environment you are consulting. Check out the most important ones:

  1. Telemedicine

Telemedicine has intensified as a matter of urgency due to the impossibility of face-to-face activities in Brazil. According to the Brazilian Association of Telemedicine and Digital Health Companies, an estimated 7.5 million consultations were done remotely between 2020 and 2021.

Online consultations have proven to be so effective in resolving medical cases that they remain active and constantly expanding. 

The benefits of telemedicine include remote monitoring of chronically ill patients and democratizing access to health care for people in remote areas without access to medical centers or specialized clinics.

2. Healthcare 4.0

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Healthcare 4.0 is the field of knowledge related to developing and using new technologies to improve human health. This new concept applies technology solutions to healthcare, such as the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), smart devices, and artificial intelligence (AI).

The incorporation of artificial intelligence has been gaining special attention in recent years, and the healthcare sector is no different. The report, published by the multinational Moving The Future, provides data confirming the growth in AI adoption. In Brazil, there are currently 3,500 healthcare institutions using computer intelligence, and 76% of healthcare CEOs in Brazil plan to invest in AI next year.

By betting on this technology, healthcare companies can reduce costs and minimize medical errors since artificial intelligence is more precise and less biased, allowing for more accurate diagnoses. In this way, the marriage of technology and human insight aims to improve medical care and balance innovation and ethics.

3. Biometrics

According to the National Supplementary Health Agency (ANS), the segment has accumulated an operational loss of R$11.5 billion in fraud. These losses also affect human health, and technology can help. Biometrics prevents medical errors caused by identification problems, such as prescription risks, confidential data leaks, and user deduplication.

In addition to these benefits, biometric solutions are also used to control access to healthcare facilities such as clinics and hospitals, further contributing to the security of these places.
