5 Tech Trends Shaping the Future of Healthcare and Life Sciences

Tech Trends Shaping the Future of Healthcare and Life Sciences

Organizations in the life sciences and healthcare are changing at a rate that has never been seen before. A lot of that is because of the COVID-19 outbreak, which surprised almost everyone. It showed that pharmaceutical and research facilities were not ready for a worldwide pandemic. But three years later, the story looks a little different.

We're seeing a number of tech trends take the spotlight and change life sciences and healthcare in exciting new ways. Traditional business practices are being changed by tech-based strategies, such as content virtualization for collaboration and interoperability, the use of cloud services and IOT ecosystems, as well as AI and blockchain.

Making the most of these trends will be important for life sciences companies to stay competitive and improve the overall customer experience. Let's take a closer look at a few of these tech trends.

1. From the New Normal to the Next Normal: Digital Workspaces 

The idea of a digital workspace was met with a lot of doubt and uncertainty in life sciences and healthcare organizations, just as it was in many other types of businesses. Even now, digital transformation is still a work in progress, and it is expected to move faster as technology improves.

Cloud computing is an example of a technology that has helped businesses build digital workspaces. The cloud no longer just handles basic IT needs; it now runs every business operation. Here are a few ways that cloud-based services are helping businesses in the life sciences and healthcare industries:

  • Collaboration between doctors, patients, and research facilities has gotten better. 
  • More data collection means that decisions will be more accurate, quick, and well-informed. 
  • More safety for data 
  • Automation and integrations are designed to make workers more productive. 
  • Better supervision of drugs, equipment, patients, and staff 

2. Content sharing: working together and being compatible 

Innovation that comes from working together is one of the most important things that life sciences and healthcare organizations do. But to get people to work together, you need to centralize content, which isn't always possible in a field where data is kept in separate silos.

But soon, data silos will be a thing of the past, thanks to the cloud. Cloud's strong security tools and granular access permissions make it possible to comply with rules and give only authorized users access. This makes it easy to share real-time and active data content, which in turn encourages people to work together and share information.

In the fields of life sciences and healthcare, this ability changes everything. Now, it's easy for researchers to share their ideas and findings with other institutes, authorities, and service providers, which should lead to better results. Manufacturers can keep an eye on everything that is going on, from sales to logistics, and make changes as needed.

3. Using blockchain technology to build an ecosystem that works in different fields 

A distributed ledger, which is what blockchain is, is a list of digital records that is always being updated. Updates are saved based on what people who share them agree on. But the most important thing is that the updates are permanent, which means that they can't be erased, copied, or deleted. This technology is so interesting to the life sciences, health plans, hospital systems, and even patients because the data stored in blockchain is real and correct.

Work is being done to find out how blockchain could be used to find and stop fake drugs, give licenses, and spread technical knowledge. As the technology gets better, it could help get rid of the debt from old technology, improve medical records and interoperability, and make clinical trial processes more consistent. We expect more activity from blockchain fans, groups, and communities with a lot of authority and real development experts.

4. Artificial Intelligence: Diagnosis, Patient Care, and Surgery 

Some people feel a little bit of fear and anxiety when they think about AI getting better at things. But that's just how science fiction books have made it sound. AI is changing everything in the real world, from how we interact with and use information to how we choose, order, and get goods and services.

As for the life sciences and healthcare, they are changing the way people get care, how doctors do their jobs, and how pharmaceuticals work. Self-service for patients and chatbots that are powered by AI are getting better and better. Through computer-aided detection systems and the analysis of image data, AI is also helping doctors make diagnoses and find new drugs.

Then there's minimally invasive surgery (MIS), where robotic assistance made possible by AI is quickly becoming the norm.

5. IoT: Breaking new ground with Cloud Technology 

The full potential of the Internet of Things (IoT) has not yet been reached. IoT, or the Internet of Things, refers to devices that connect to the internet and share or receive information. For a healthcare business, think about a sensor that controls the temperature in the drug storage room or a wearable remote patient monitoring device that sends information about a patient's vitals (temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, glucose, etc.) to their clinicians even after the patient has left the hospital.

Researchers can use the data collected from these remote devices to learn important things and maybe find places where they can help.

Tracking of assets 

IoT's role in healthcare goes beyond just taking care of patients; it can also help keep an eye on equipment, staff, and supplies. Most equipment and medical kits have tracking tags or smart stickers that can be put on them so that they can be found in a hospital.

IoT systems can also let supervisors know about changes in stock levels and maintenance needs. At critical levels, they can even send out purchase orders. IoT can help the life sciences find new insights, stop misuse and theft, and make resources last longer by making sure they are used correctly.

One last thing 

The COVID-19 outbreak was a wake-up call for the life science and healthcare industries, which had been moving along slowly and not doing the research, development, and improvements that were needed in traditional ecosystems that were broken up.

As the world moves toward the "next normal," it will be important for leaders and stakeholders in the life sciences to take advantage of these rising technology trends and digital transformation in order to make the future better for everyone.
