LATEST TREND

Growing Usage of Big Data in Healthcare

The digitization of administrative, clinical, and financial data has led to an increase in the amount of electronic data created in the healthcare sector to terabytes and petabytes. It is anticipated that the volume would eventually approach exabytes and even zettabytes because it is almost doubling almost every year. Healthcare providers face significant difficulty due to the enormous diversity of data in addition to the expanding amount.

Healthcare data is more difficult than data from other businesses due to the length and variability of the data. Healthcare analytics and data management solutions are being adopted by service providers more and more to address these issues in the healthcare sector. For instance, in 2018, according to a survey by Statista, healthcare is expected to produce data of 2000 exabytes (1 exabyte is 1 billion GB).

DRIVING FACTORS

Integration with AI, IoT, and Other Technologies Favoring Market Growth

IoT, AI, and wirelessly connected gadgets are all generating a lot of interest throughout the world. The adoption of healthcare IT solutions is directly influenced by rising smartphone adoption and expanding internet access.

Additionally, there were 192 million more internet users globally in 2021 than there were in 2020, and this number is increasing at a rate of 4% annually. Additionally, it is anticipated that market growth would pick up speed due to technical developments in the areas of smartphones and internet connectivity that will improve healthcare results, patient experiences, and patient engagement.

RESTRAINTS

Concerns Pertaining to IT Infrastructure in Emerging Economies

The shortage of doctors, nurses, and hospital beds is hampering the healthcare IT market share. One of the main obstacles to the adoption of this system is cost. These systems cost more to maintain and upgrade their software than the program itself. Nearly 30% of the total cost of ownership is spent on support and maintenance services, which also include software upgrades in response to changing user requirements.

Furthermore, in order to maximize the effectiveness of various healthcare IT solutions, end users must be trained, which raises the total cost of ownership of these systems due to the lack of internal IT experience in the healthcare sector.
