Improving Health Outcomes Through Digitisation Of Healthcare

The COVID-19 pandemic has upended our lives and compelled governments, businesses and individuals to re-examine the ways of the past and reimagine the future. For India, the pandemic has also laid bare the several gaps in India's healthcare system and underscored the urgent need to improve health outcomes in the country. Digitization will play an integral role in plugging the prevailing gaps in India's healthcare ecosystem. In 2015, the government of India (GoI) launched the'Digital India' campaign with an aim to transform India into a leading economy of the future. In the last half a decade, the country has become the second-fastest digital adopter in the world--India has almost half a billion Internet users and more than 350 million smartphone users consuming 8.3 GB of data per month per subscriber.
