The healthcare sector has witnessed tremendous change over the past few years due to the introduction of comprehensive technology platforms for healthcare practitioners that ensure digitization of healthcare and patient records. Even medical tourism in India is projected to grow exponentially in the near future. Healthcare needs more technology penetration and with India having an immense growth potential, many startups are making a move towards the same. There is a gamut of healthcare portals that cater to specific treatments, tracking health, improved rehabilitation, telemedicine, locating medical practitioners and e-commerce to name a few. Healthtech startups are simplifying the way healthcare services are received, providing easy access to diagnostic centres, hospitals and doctors by just a simple swipe on a user’s smartphone. Now even rural areas are beginning to have access to much-needed healthcare facilities for an improved well-being instead of relying on private hospitals and institutions owing to the below par quality of the public healthcare sector. However, despite making huge strides in this domain, it is still in its nascent stage and demands users to get rid of their inhibitions towards technology and encourage acceptance. Medical practitioners and patients alike are still hesitant to embrace technology in this sector due to the influx of a host of vendors providing similar solutions that have recognized it as a lucrative market. This sector requires technically adept professionals with deep industry knowledge to drive such an initiative. Users still face the dilemma of choosing the right vendor to avail services and solutions from.
