Haves vs. Have-Nots in Healthcare: Why The Haves Are Still Winning

by Irv Lichtenwald , CEO of Medsphere Systems Corporation 05/09/2019 Leave a Comment

Haves vs. Have-Nots in Healthcare: Why The Haves Are Still Winning

Ideology is a beguiling mistress. When she winks and showers rewards on the faithful, they’re much more likely to focus on successes over failures moving forward, even if the latter vastly outnumber the former. My use of the word ‘ideology’ here is intentional. I come from rather humble beginnings and have experienced the benefits that a market-based capitalist system offers to those willing to work hard and color inside the lines. I’ve earned a level of prosperity my parents could only dream

Digital Health - Is It Worth It? How to Calculate ROI in Digital Health

The results are in. A 2019 PEGA survey asked 2,000 U.S. consumers how they felt about recent trends in healthcare, and the response was overwhelming — they want a personal touch, and they want it digital.  Not only that, but the survey also revealed that communications from healthcare organizations actually drive a patient’s desire to improve their health, fueling the popular opinion that technology is the magic key to patient engagement. What the survey fails to reveal, though, is why the

Analysis: 5 Trends Shaping The Future of The Global Radiology IT Market

Against the backdrop of artificial intelligence in medical imaging and other hyped healthcare IT technologies, market trends in core radiology IT software and services can easily be overlooked. Many of the largest markets in North America and Western Europe have reached saturation, with few new “greenfield” opportunities. Instead, the dynamics of much of the global radiology IT market revolve around long procurement cycles, replacement or contract roll-on and an entrenched customer base.However,

How Consumer Technology is Influencing Healthcare Innovation

How Consumer Technology is Influencing Healthcare Innovation

When it comes to healthcare, we look to physicians, nurses, and specialists and trust them to be the experts when it comes to our health, but we don’t typically look to them to be technology experts. In fact, the healthcare industry, especially the back office, has been historically slow to adopt new technology, relying on paper records and pagers, fax machines and even hand delivery of files and records. Many clinics are not equipped to digitally connect to another office’s patient records.

by Zachary Blunt, Sr. Manager of Product Management, Population Health at Greenway Health 05/06/2019 Leave a Comment

Zachary Blunt

More than three years have passed since the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) introduced its separately billable non-face-to-face Chronic Care Management (CCM) service. This was intended to help more than two-thirds of individuals on Medicare who suffer from multiple conditions receive more coordinated, regular primary care. The hope was that a focus on managing chronic conditions would contribute to better outcomes for overall population health, improve individual access to

7 Trends Accelerating “TechBio” – The Life Sciences and Computer Sciences Convergence

by Vasudev Bailey, Ph.D., Partner at ARTIS Ventures 05/01/2019 Leave a Comment

We are now living in what I’m calling the TechBio revolution. That’s not a typo that should read BioTech, but rather a new way of looking at the convergence of technology and biology. TechBio is defined as an engineering-first approach of biological processes for industrial, and other purposes, especially the genetic manipulation of microorganisms for the production of antibiotics, hormones, and so on. A process that uses AI and data-enabled discovery to complement the exploration of

Why The Handheld Ultrasound Market Is Poised for Next Wave of Growth

Why The Handheld Ultrasound Market Is Poised for Next Wave of Growth

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the launch of the first handheld ultrasound scanner, GE Healthcare’s Vscan, yet the market has largely failed to live up to expectations. In 2018, sales of handheld ultrasound accounted for less than 2% of the $6.9 billion global markets for ultrasound equipment. The relatively high cost and limited performance of early generation handhelds were limiting factors. Steady product improvements over the years, coupled with fresh innovation from new market

Digital Twin Technology: Should Healthcare Jump on the Bandwagon?

Digital Twin Technology: Should Healthcare Jump on the Bandwagon?

While healthcare is known for not jumping to conclusions very fast when investing in new technology, the industry starts to pick up the pace. Such “newcomers” as blockchain, IoT, VR, and AR get a well-deserved appraisal and become an integral part of next-gen custom healthcare software aimed at supporting personalized treatment and predictable patient outcomes across a wide range of conditions. We anticipate that the digital twin technology has good chances to become the next addition to the

Why 2018 May Have Been A High-Water Mark for Digital Health Funding

Pandemic Further Exposes Systemic Racism… Healthcare Technology Digital Health

Notwithstanding the quite significant stock market turmoil for publicly traded healthcare companies in recent months, the level of private investment activity continued to be quite strong this past quarter. According to Rock Health, 1Q19 registered just under $1.0 billion of investments made in 61 healthcare technology companies, which while below the trailing two year quarterly average of $1.4 billion, still suggests an annual investment pace running toward $4.0 billion. StartUp Health, which

Donna Martin_Is Patient Experience a Catalyst for Payer-Provider Collaboration?

In the healthcare market, there is increasing demand for outsourcing services that can bring strategic insights, optimization, and efficiencies to critical operations, particularly among health plans.These partnerships speak to the dramatic shifts in how health plans are sold and purchased today, but also to the maturity of the healthcare business process outsourcing (BPO) industry itself.Years ago, BPO was more tactical than strategic—lifting and shifting units or processes to a far-flung
