Patients today have greater power and knowledge thanks to the Internet and the modern information era. In turn, emerging technologies propose breakthroughs in both therapies and the overall healthcare value chain. What exactly is Patient Centric Care, and why will it bring in a new era of healthcare?<\/span><\/p>\n

Medicine is a science that has been practiced for over 6,000 years. The various actors involved began with the same goal in mind: to learn about human biology and to develop cures for illnesses and diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although much has changed and evolved in six millennia, the truth is that the way patients and doctors interact with each other has stayed virtually unchanged.<\/span><\/p>\n

Technology and health: allies for patient empowerment<\/b><\/h2>\n

Health involves not only doctors and patients, but also laboratories and pharmacies, insurance firms, government, and even major and small technological companies.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a recent Statista<\/a> report, MedTech (or “Medical Technology”) is a global sector worth more than USD 400 billion each year. The United States and China are leading the industry’s expansion, with nearly 40% of the world\u2019s medical device market sales.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new approach to medicine, which is undergoing a deep digital transformation, completely alters the treatment paradigm. Previously, doctors were the ones who made decisions concerning patients, but now patients are the ones who hold the most power..\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In view of the facts, the entire ecosystem works to provide patients with both value and meaningful experiences<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

These are some of the elements that influence this shift:<\/span><\/p>\n
