Digital Health

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly accelerated the transition to digital health.

BCG Digital Ventures' 2021 Health Care Predictions
‍

Here is a preview of the insights from our multidisciplinary team of digital health experts:

01

Adoption of telehealth services has accelerated in recent months, but in 2021, telehealth will involve more than a video call. We expect to see end-to-end solutions for patients, moving from diagnosis to treatment to aftercare - all online. Healthcare has never been more patient-centric, consumer-friendly and efficient.

02

We also predict that patients will use telehealth platforms beyond quick diagnosis and primary care. Healthcare services will decentralize as they continue to embrace digital care delivery. This will include genetic screening, management of chronic disease, and targeted, highly personalized treatments.

03

In 2021, we’re going to see more AI solutions in patient triage and remote monitoring of patients, with in-home testing and diagnosis. Expect more reliable remote testing capabilities, including sensors and wearables. This will drive down costs, prevent overcrowding of hospitals, and is convenient for the patient.
