Health they say is wealth, no wonder so much time and money is spent daily for one to stay healthy. If there is a sector that cannot be overlooked in the world today, it’s the health sector. The healthcare industry is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing industries. Consuming over 10 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) of most developed nations, health care can form an enormous part of a country’s economy. That is why year in year out, government and individuals (both private and public sectors) spend so much in health research and also healthcare facilities. The healthcare sector continues to grow rapidly with each passing day being the most sensitive and significant sector. An estimate by Deloitte shows healthcare costs will get to $8.7 trillion with the share of the global GDP spent on healthcare rising to 10.5%. Despite these, people’s health is at risk due to certain factors such as air and water pollution, food adulteration, lack of proper diet, poor or reckless lifestyle, poor mental health, low awareness about health insurance, etc. As this growth continues, a more cost effective healthcare practices are being sort after and no doubt one of the most promising solution is digitalization of the healthcare sector.
