How Digitalization is Changing the Healthcare Industry Indonesia Economic Forum
An Android smartwatch from LG launched in 2014. It used to be the domain of science-fiction movies – gadgets that track and record your health data, surgeries performed remotely, and even diagnostics done by robotics. Everywhere we turn, it is apparent that technological advancements are fast changing the healthcare industry. "Technology diagnostics and predictive informatics are the new sciences propelling healthcare into the future," says Gordon Hewitt, chairman of the Global Advisory Board of SIXCAP Group. Today, it is getting increasingly common to see wrists donning a smart watch or health tracker that tells you the amount of calories you have burned, how fast your heartbeat is, and much more. They enable the capture of a continuous stream of data about physiology and kinesiology, empowering consumers with self-knowledge and allowing them to self-monitor their physical activities and prevent undesirable health conditions such as hypertension and stress.
