I believe most of this is already happening and will accelerate further given how rapidly the healthcare ecosystem is changing. These are just few of the entrepreneurial opportunities within healthcare.
- More connected devices in the hospital and home will provide the data for patient analytics – access to data will be streamlined.
- Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) results will prove the value in coordinating care of patients.
- Policy discussions will shift towards ideal regulatory oversight of mobile medical apps and stand-alone software.
- Medical device manufacturers and providers will embrace monitoring devices (including wearables and sensors) to care for the patient.
- Telehealth or telemedicine will gain more traction in 2014.
- Mobile apps with simple UI/UX to manage patient health data will proliferate and doctors will prescribe these apps to get patients engaged.
- Healthcare exchanges problems will get resolved bringing more patients into the healthcare system. Also interoperability standards and emerging frameworks will increase connectivity between networks.
- Digital health technologies – more wearable and sensor based devices for wellness, EHR adoption and tech-enabled tools for management of elderly + chronic care.
- The field of big knowledge will emerge where decision making and insights will have more importance than data analytics.
- Alternative sources of funding startups will increase – govt. grants, crowdfunding, incubators, non-traditional partnerships.
