1.2 Macro drivers for change
Technology advancements and changes in the global healthcare sector are causing a fundamental shift in how health services will be provided in the future. Gradual investments are required to accommodate these changes over time and seize the opportunities they present.
Patient, family and carers’ expectations of health care continue to increase due to the availability of information, enhanced health literacy and digital experiences in other areas of people’s lives.
The health consumers are embracing new digital technologies and customised services for their care an wellbeing. For instance, remote monitoring technology such as wearables and smart appliances is being embraced by consumers who are more willing to share personal data for greater service. Service providers will be able to make micro-interventions to keep people healthier, for example through analysis of DNA to predict and target treatment. The past decade has seen rapid development and adoption of technologies that change the way we live and will have a similarly transformative impact on health and care.
