What is a Digital Transformation in Healthcare and Life Science?
We all understand the concept of Digital Transformation. What is not so clear to many is just how and why digital transformation affects healthcare and life science.
The transformation in health care and life science is indeed a big one. It is one that has been underway for many years and is still only beginning to take hold, making its first steps. So, what exactly are this transformation, and how does it affect us?
With digital transformation, medical professionals are no longer limited by the boundaries of the traditional two-dimensional format used to convey information. Nowadays, digital images can be transmitted to physicians through remote access from any computer with a web connection. These images are stored on the computer, allowing physicians to immediately access medical records and even to collaborate with other clinicians across different geographical locations. Because the workflow is digital, information can be shared without being shared in any way.
