Here are 3 <strong>pro tips<\/strong> to win digital transformation!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><span style=\"color:#dd0055\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Look beyond your industry to learn new lessons&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The best source to learn innovative strategies and business lessons is beyond your industry. <strong>Redefine the boundaries and broaden your perspective<\/strong> to identify what other businesses of different industries are doing extremely well that may fit in your industry as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">For example, we grabbed the idea of a super healthcare app for one of our healthcare clients from a GoJek app that belongs to the taxi and on-demand industry. GoJek offers more than 20 on-demand services from a single platform!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Currently, our compliance specialists are running a compliance audit on that super app. So, it will soon become a market reality!)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><span style=\"color:#dd0055\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Don\u2019t overlook patient experience and expectations&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Every digital transformation journey ends at what customers think of new innovations and how they adopt them. Thus, the approach you should choose to digitally transform your medical business should be <strong>more customer-centric and less market-centric<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Recently, a telemedicine app owner approached us to add a symptom checker feature to it. When we asked, he wanted it because the Babylon app has one similar feature. Our business analysts later ran a market survey and found that the majority of users don\u2019t trust results shown by the symptom checker!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, identify the blind spot the healthcare market has. And the best way to identify it is to understand and study your users rather than your competitors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><span style=\"color:#dd0055\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Put extra emphasis on compliance<\/span>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Compliance is required not just because it is legally mandatory, but also because it ensures <strong>data protection<\/strong> and helps organizations <strong>earn the trust<\/strong> of users and investors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">However, you should plan different compliance strategies for your organization and its IT infrastructure as there are different technical and administrative requirements.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You should read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syscreations.ca\/blog\/why-hire-healthcare-compliance-consultants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><u>Why Should You Hire a Healthcare Compliance Consultant?<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Seize some inspiration from these companies which did digital transformation in recent years<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To see the much broader and brighter side of digital transformation, let\u2019s not just limit our learning to healthcare only. Following are multi-industry examples but with more focus on healthcare.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><span style=\"color:#dd0055\" class=\"has-inline-color\">IKEA&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Limited to brick-and-mortar stores for several years, IKEA <strong>digitally transformed customer experience<\/strong> with a new eCommerce website that is best-in-class.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">It has also acquired TaskRabbit startup to let its customers find people to help with the assembly or delivering furniture purchased at IKEA to their apartment. It has also launched a smart home project that includes intelligent kitchen equipment and lighting.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sensing the customer need, IKEA later introduced <strong>AR<\/strong> in the customer journey which helps customers to make decisions and virtually \u201cfurnish\u201d the apartment before making purchases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><span style=\"color:#dd0055\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Rexall Pharmacy<\/span>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, Canada\u2019s one of the oldest pharmacy retail chains launched a mobile app named <strong>Be Well<\/strong> to bring together health, wellness and rewards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">With this app, Rexall Pharmacy is now able to engage more its users by easing all their health-related pain areas. Be Well app is equipped with purposeful features that enable users to track health, wellness &amp; medical history, earn &amp; redeem points and connect to local Rexall pharmacies and have access to expanded online pharmacy services.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><span style=\"color:#dd0055\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Amazon<\/span>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon has been investing huge in healthcare to take its bite out of this multi-billion dollar industry. First, it acquired <strong>online pharmacy startup PillPack<\/strong> and then launched its own virtual care platform &#8211; <strong>Amazon Care<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using Amazon Care, users can virtually talk to medical specialists and even call them for at-home follow-ups, tests and treatments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Amazon Care app is very feature-rich. It shows the flow for choosing between text chat and video, as well as a summary of care provided through the service, with invoices, diagnosis and treatment plans all available for patient review.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>These are the most prominent upcoming startups in the healthcare industry&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on our interaction with 100+ entrepreneurs in the last 1 year, we have hand-picked some of the most game-changing upcoming healthcare startups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><span style=\"color:#dd0055\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Social media platform for healthcare providers&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We have noticed several healthcare providers are proactively using social media platforms to <strong>share their ideas, validate information, build a network and connect with patients<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they face several challenges as there are only one or two region-specific dedicated social media platforms for healthcare providers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">One healthcare-centric social media app &#8211; <strong>known as LinkedIn for doctors<\/strong> &#8211; is <strong>Doximity<\/strong>. The fact that it has more members than the American Medical Association clearly depicts the scope for such purpose-specific social media apps for clinicians.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthcare entrepreneurs have already identified its scope and thus, we are anticipating more such apps in the market anytime soon.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You\u2019ll find this useful: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.syscreations.ca\/blog\/linkedin-for-doctors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><u>LinkedIn for Doctors \u2013 Create Your Own App Like Doximity<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><span style=\"color:#dd0055\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Dedicated telemedicine platform for each medical specialty&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018One-fits-all\u2019 approach<\/strong> does not work in healthcare as each medical specialty has different clinical workflows which a general-purpose telemedicine platform cannot streamline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">For instance, what works best for teledentistry can\u2019t work best for telecardiology or teledermatology.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, there will be a new trend emerging in the telemedicine market with medical specialty-specific telemedicine platforms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><span style=\"color:#dd0055\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Digital solution for chronic care management<\/span>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of people having a chronic illness is ever-evolving which puts an extra burden on healthcare infrastructure.
