Stakeholders in the digital health field include patients, practitioners, researchers, application developers, and medical device manufacturers and distributors.

Digital healthcare is growing, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg when we consider the overwhelming possibilities and promise they offer for transforming healthcare services. This will transform and make value-additions to patient care across the world.

With 2021 well behind us, COVID-19’s presence still continues to linger around the world. With significant advances in technology and methods necessary to support the high demand of access to healthcare and growing digitization of protected health information, the healthcare industry has evolved in novel ways to continue to deliver the same exceptional quality of service.

As we press on into the future, it’s critical to remain mindful of the trends driving healthcare technology in 2022. Although legacy software and infrastructure is critical to the success of modern hospitals and care centers, it’s important that we consider how those systems can integrate with newer technologies or how they may eventually be replaced with more reliable systems. The focus should be on improving performance, productivity, efficiency, and security without sacrificing reliability or accessibility.
