Healthcare

We DO that

Because of the global pandemic, medical technologies had to adapt even more quickly to better address rapidly increasing healthcare requirements. So it’s no surprise healthcare funding around the world has reached unprecedented levels. “In 2021 alone, $44 billon was raised globally in health innovation”—doubling what was raised the previous year—"and the acquisition of health and health tech companies rose 50 percent¹.”

In 2022, future trends are becoming clearer. For example, many more medical providers offer drive-in and virtual visits than ever before, meaning upgraded telemedicine options are needed. Some see data as “the new healthcare currency” and believe “artificial intelligence and real-world evidence are unlocking value in health data².” Broader use of the IoMT (Internet of medical things) can solve some of the problems the medical segment dealt with during the past few years, and will in the future—opening the door to even more opportunities. One source even predicts the health market will be worth $142.45 billion by 2026³!
