Technology is and will be embraced by big players, and I believe this will increase with time. To be able to talk to a doctor and get medicines prescribed, for non-emergency and ordinary problems, without visiting a hospital is wonderful. Of course, this is purely the doctor’s decision. Apollo 24X7 app has helped in such situation before. It is one thing to take paracetamol by one’s own knowledge, it is another thing when the same is done under a doctor’s guidance. I don’t know if such other apps exist.
Looking at the changes technology is bringing and the things happening in different industries and different areas of life, I am sure health sector too will bring in some changes, when and where applicable and necessary. So I do believe the adoption of technology in health sector will grow with time, cannot imagine the rate at which it grows.
Health care as a business, as with any other business, when viewed from the perspective of management is about profits too, along with a service element embedded in it, and if technological advancements however costly will bring in more profits, they will adopt these advancements, and will naturally pass the charges forward. Rich people always afford, and if health insurance is also gaining momentum, insured can also pay. So I believe technology will gain more space when and where it can.
I have neither the knowledge nor the interest in making money from this, except the wish that whatever helps a patient is always welcome, and if its affordable, it will be a boon to one and all.
Purely from an end user perspective, obviously.
