The Future is now

Advances in digital healthcare technologies, such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, 3D printing, robots, and nanotechnology are changing the future of healthcare right now, right in front of us. Technologies are already helping us, such as applying machine learning to mammography to improve breast cancer detection. Health 4.0 unlocks formidable opportunities, ranging from personalized treatment, early detection of cancers, or prediction of treatment outcomes.

Health 4.0 and the challenge of digitalizing the health system for better patient care

Companies, like yours maybe, are certainly making efforts to keep up with the fast-paced new tech trends and working hand-in-hand with technology building the future of healthcare. Like any transformation, Health 4.0 brings along its own challenges: access to innovation, organizational transformation, integration of new technologies and sustainability of the new business models, among others. This sounds familiar? At DayOne, we are here to help!

Health 4.0 is improving healthcare

Health 4.0 is the tech-driven transformation of our traditional healthcare industry as we know it. The concept is derived from Industry 4.0., which represents the fourth manufacturing revolution. Health 4.0 offers a wide range of possibilities for using Industry 4.0 technologies to improve healthcare. The objective? To provide patients with better, more value-added, and more cost-effective healthcare services, while also improving the industry’s efficacy and efficiency. Exciting technologies, like Cloud computing, Big Data (BD), Internet of Things (IoT), Augmented Reality (AR) and many more, are opening fantastic and exciting opportunities to change the care pathway and the overall healthcare systems. You want to find out how to harness Health 4.0 in your company? Our DayOne team is accompanying you every step of the way.
