Navigating the future of Indian healthcare sector with digital precision

A perspective by Sugumar Umapathy, Enterprise Architect & Field CTO India Presales at Dell Technologies India.

In today's landscape, the healthcare industry is making the best efforts to deliver enhanced patient care through digital interventions. Standing on the changing frontier of technologies, industry players are putting their best foot forward in innovating at an unprecedented scale and establishing a secure and future-ready digital framework, comprising 5G, digital twin, cognitive AI, and quantum computing. No doubt, when it comes to the digitalization of the Indian healthcare sector, the launch of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) has been a significant fillip. As suggested by a BCG report, the digital health market in India is likely to expand 10x from $2.7Bn in 2022 to ~$37Bn by 2030. The India digital health market is anticipated to experience robust expansion in the near future, driven by the convergence of a sizable potential market and favorable government initiatives.

Undoubtedly, the availability of a growing amount of data creates the potential for a more personalized approach to patient care. With the right IT infrastructure in place, healthcare providers can leverage analytics, emerging medical technologies, and artificial intelligence to enhance care delivery on a global scale and throughout the end-to-end care spectrum

• Virtual health: At Dell, we have the proficiency in creating virtual specialty consultations in new geographies, scaling remote engagement with home-based diagnostics and treatment for individuals with chronic diseases, and extending telehealth services to post-acute care.
• Personalized health: Data has evolved into a pivotal asset for healthcare institutions. At Dell, we have the tools that help transform care into a personalized experience by harnessing these data repositories and deriving valuable insights. These insights can be leveraged to make transformative, life-altering decisions in personalized medical care.
• Secure care: Given the growing rate of digitalization, the importance of patient data security and privacy cannot be overlooked. According to a study conducted by Sophos, the healthcare industry has emerged as a significant focal point for cybercriminals, with approximately 60% of healthcare organizations worldwide experiencing a cyberattack in the last year. In view of this, the introduction of the Digital Information Security in Healthcare Act (DISHA) represents a positive and forward-looking measure. To fulfill the promise of Secure Care, Dell Technologies provides extensive IT solutions that not only align with compliance requirements but also enhance performance and ensure data security throughout the multicloud ecosystem, covering every stage from point of care to core to cloud.

Working with our partner ecosystem, we at Dell Technologies have been enabling healthcare and life sciences organizations to navigate the evolving patient care continuum. For example, leveraging our modern, consolidated, and software-defined data center, Delhi-based state-of-the-art Venkateshwar Hospital has attended IT transformation and enhanced its efficiency, thereby advancing medical care through innovative technology utilization.

Staying true to our commitment to making the healthcare–life sciences transformation real, we are facilitating healthcare organizations to deliver the promise of a healthier future through modernized health technologies. Healthcare providers’ focus is on patient outcomes. Dell Tech has been that essential bridge to deliver those outcomes without the technology complexity and capex burden.
