Digital technologies and the massive volumes of all types of data fueled by the Internet of Things (IoT) are driving vertical integration within healthcare, according to a recent report from research firm Frost & Sullivan.
Boundaries between segments in the industry are blurring as organizations seek to expand market reach, drive efficiencies and capture opportunities emerging from technological advances, the report said.
Digital health technologies will help support new models of care delivery, expanded access to healthcare services, improved outcomes and efficiency, and greater value to all stakeholders. However, organizations vary greatly in their capacity to deliver such solutions, the firm noted.
