The convergence of healthcare: when digital and medical collide [ENGLISH]
It was back in 1993, while I was studying to become a doctor, that I first dreamed of how computer science would transform medicine. At that time, ‘digital’ was in its early days, with the internet only just emerging and the appearance of social media still a decade away, but already I saw the potential for digital to radically disrupt healthcare.
Today, over 20 years later, I think we are finally reaching the point of ‘healthcare convergence’, where digital technology and traditional medicine combine in a way that will forever change the way we manage health. This convergence has enormous implications and opportunities for the life sciences industry.
To understand why and how this industry – comprising the major global pharmaceutical, consumer health, medical devices and diagnostics companies – needs to adapt, we first need to explore the stages of digital disruption that have led to this point.
