Malaysian Technology Strategic Outlook

Why it matters

DATA GENERATION DERIVED DIRECTLY FROM PATIENTS OR USERS

• This trend goes towards building a central data system for better health data management. • The trend points to opportunities to become leaders in data management by setting standards for interoperability, and capitalising on analysing data and sharing insights, or become supporters by providing data to other stakeholders in the health system. • The data collection is useful for researchers, physicians, and the healthcare system to help ensure that health services are delivered in a timely and appropriate fashion. • There is also opportunity to build a data system that is secure to gain information directly from users/patients.

Devices are increasingly being used in the home, or, in the case of wearables, at all times, thus dramatically changing the relationship with end users. The adoption of technologies that support behavioural changes in patients and influence positive lifestyle changes will be in high demand. New technology, methods, and means are being used to collect data, build smart devices, and connect with the end user.

CROSS-CUTTING TECHNOLOGY TREND THAT CONVERGES DIFFERENT HEALTHCARE-RELATED DISCIPLINES, SUCH AS THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, COGNITIVE SCIENCES, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, AND MATERIAL SCIENCE

• It is labour-intensive, costly, and requires multi- disciplinary teams. • It is highly dependent on infrastructure and therefore difficult to apply in low resource settings. • It is likely to raise patient expectations and patient pressure on healthcare. • It is likely to be reserved for financially privileged patients. • It is liable to incur technical risks and patient safety problems.

Why it matters

• It builds technical and multidiscipline capabilities in medical devices. • It is an investment towards building the technical capacity of the organisation. • It provides training to focus on multidiscipline development to meet the capacity in medical device industry in the future.

Why it matters

• Technology adoption, software development, and partnerships support the exploration of new market demands and open up opportunities to address emerging markets’ needs. • Partnerships that are forged across industries gain from the creation of innovative products and penetration into new markets, enabling them to venture into fresh product and service offerings while getting a stronger hold of their patients and customers.
