Predictions For Health Services in the Digital Future

My recent piece about how Artificial Intelligence(AI) and Robotics are aiding health practitioners today set me researching where this section of the digital revolution we live under right now will take us.

To examine this, I checked out a company that is presently providing services to the UK National Health Service and how it is predicting its own provisions to grow. One thing that struck me at first sight was how these new ways were spread globally. The knowledge of the people involved, and their countries of origin had obviously assisted the growth of this particular company. This is where cloud computing is already taking the developed countries.

Their entire lexicon was a new language, a sort of ‘Digispeak’. It was clear that the Covid pandemic had accelerated many of these changes, not just in areas like vaccine development and production, but also in supporting frontline healthcare professionals. I won’t mention the company’s name, but here’s a snippet from their website: ‘The NHS and life sciences companies need to update their electronic workflows to support Covid-19 initiatives, scale virtual care, provide real-time operational insights, update infrastructure to manage increased loads and ensure cybersecurity risks are resolved. The biggest challenge is to address the capacity gaps that jeopardize these needs.’
