The global healthcare IT market size was valued at USD 142.7 billion in 2022 and is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 17.9% in the forecast period. Global big data in the healthcare market is expected to reach $34.27 billion by 2022 at a CAGR of 22.07%. 

  • The global artificial intelligence in the healthcare market was valued at USD 6.7 billion in 2020, compounding by 41% yearly.
  • The combined augmented reality and virtual reality markets were worth $12 billion in 2020, with a massive annual growth rate of 54%
  • Telehealth went from $306 million to $3.7 billion during the pandemic, 

In this episode, I am in conversation with Suja Chandrasekaran about how technology is revolutionizing healthcare. We discuss that the future of care is hybrid, where the blend of physical and virtual care is driven by the equity of access, efficiency, and efficacy of care enabled by data, and a laser focus on talent management is required to bring value to value-based care.

We acknowledge that the US Healthcare spending is estimated to be $4.3 trillion. At the same time, technology innovations such as wearables rose by 19%, digital therapeutics increased by 32%, and startup funding was targeted to reach $22 billion in 2023. We realize that the trends are moving towards meeting patients where they are and making the patient experience more simple, seamless, and integrated. 

We firmly believe that the future of health requires equity and quality of care while engaging providers and payors, and a fundamental shift is required to promote healthcare, not sick care.
