Digital transformation is a fast-growing area within healthcare, with artificial intelligence, big data, predictive analytics and IoT being some of the leading trends.

Artificial intelligence (AI) could become synonymous with innovation, and medical industry players eagerly invest millions in it. The real power of AI is seen in areas like precision medicine, medical imaging, drug discovery and genomics. It can provide opportunities for healthcare in Europe to deliver more and better care to an aging population. Still, there are no clear strategies on how AI should be used in healthcare in many European countries.

Big data also improves patient outcomes through more effective treatments at reduced costs. The amount of patient data collected using different digital technologies and used in hospitals is growing with each passing day. Electronic medical records (EMR) contribute to increased efficiency, ensuring that preventive exams, screening and monitoring are less likely to be forgotten or double documented.

Predictive analytics, based on big data and artificial intelligence, is another area of increasing interest. Predictive analytics in healthcare aggregates vast amounts of patient data from electronic health records (EHR) and administrative paperwork and processes it, searching for patterns. With predictive analytics, healthcare providers can determine which diseases patients are likely to develop and how they will respond to different treatments.

IoT in healthcare is another growing area, with wearable devices recording health data in real-time. The focus is on prevention and maintenance, and the wearable medical device market is also getting a boost from patients wanting more health information.
