To assist in dealing with these difficulties and aspirations, here are 10 healthcare technology trends that we anticipate becoming more popular in 2023.

1. 𝗧𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲

(AI)The top concern in #healthcare is the shortage of staff, leading to burnout and strained systems. For instance, #radiologists often experience work-related exhaustion, and there’s an expected global shortage of 13 million nurses by 2030. #Healthcareproviders are turning to automation and AI to address these challenges.

In #radiology, #AItechnology is helping speed up scans and improves image quality, benefiting both patients and diagnostic accuracy. Automation is also reducing administrative tasks for #healthcare professionals, allowing them to spend more time with patients and less time on paperwork.

2. 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘃𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸

Empowering staff with technology includes letting experienced colleagues guide others remotely through virtual collaboration. This trend, accelerated by the pandemic, is now essential due to a shortage of skilled staff, especially in smaller locations. 

Remote collaboration also benefits acute care. Tele-ICU programs use technology to provide critical care support to remote ICU beds, combining audio-visual tools and data analysis. In stroke care, remote guidance by emergency clinicians helps rural or underserved facilities make better decisions quickly, improving patient outcomes.

3. 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

Hospitals often use equipment from different brands, leading to fragmented digital systems and healthcare. To fix this, we’ll see more use of systems that work with different brands and easily share data in 2023 and beyond. In radiology, vendor-neutral analytics and workflow tools can boost efficiency and cut costs while optimizing operations.

In acute and post-acute care, medical device platforms that work with any brand can gather and analyse data from connected devices, offering insights to support patient care. The better these platforms integrate with hospital systems, the more valuable they become for care teams.

4. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Automating workflows can help busy hospitals, but training is crucial as many #healthcare workers left during the pandemic. Training new staff is vital for safety and quality care. In the coming years, there will be a rising demand for ‘education as a service’ to support continuous learning as #healthcare goes digital. Hospitals can boost tech use by having ‘super users’ who are experts and can assist their colleagues.

5. 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆

Healthcare’s move to the cloud has been slow, but it’s picking up speed. This trend is expected to continue in 2023, with more cloud-based software solutions, like SaaS, becoming available. For instance, in cancer care, these solutions can combine data from various hospital systems, supporting collaborative decision-making in meetings, whether in-person or virtual.

6. 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀

#Healthcare leaders now prioritize extending care beyond hospitals, focusing on providing timely and appropriate care for a seamless patient experience. For instance, wearable patches can help detect heart rhythm irregularities in stroke patients, allowing remote monitoring without disrupting their daily lives. Cloud-based #AI analyzes data from millions of ECG recordings to spot issues early and enable proactive care.

7. 𝗔 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆

New technologies like mobile health tools and #AI-supported ultrasound are promising for bridging healthcare gaps in maternal and child health. They offer ways to bring essential care closer to more patients and detect diseases earlier, even for those with limited access.

The future of healthcare tech is expected to promote fair care for all, with a focus on inclusivity and collaboration. It’s crucial to involve and listen to those who face existing disparities to ensure equitable innovation.

8. 𝗨𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲

In #healthcare technology, ‘circular’ means closing the loop on hardware, but digital tools now enable health systems to do more with fewer resources. This includes shifting from resource-heavy clinical settings to cost-effective options like home-based care.

The move towards cloud-based and software solutions reduces the need for on-site hardware, cutting emissions and improving efficiency. Circular practices, like designing for refurbishment and upgradability, will play a vital role in the #healthcare industry’s efforts to address climate change. These practices can also help hospitals manage budgets and reduce their environmental impact.

9. 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆

A growing trend is to ‘follow the science.’ For example, California now requires large companies to have science-based carbon reduction goals by 2025. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) helps organizations set targets to reduce emissions and combat climate change’s worst effects. By early 2022, over 2,200 companies, representing a significant part of the global economy, were using SBTi.

Targets for Scope 3 emissions, which relate to responsible sourcing, are crucial for the healthcare industry. #Healthcare companies are working to achieve these goals by reducing power consumption with more energy-efficient technology and lowering indirect emissions through sustainable resource use and circular practices.

10. 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹-𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴

Health systems are using various methods to reduce their environmental impact, but they often overlook broader environmental issues like biodiversity loss, as noted in the CDP report “Now for Nature: The Decade of Delivery.”Recognizing the link between healthy ecosystems and human health, the #healthcareindustry is expected to increasingly adopt “natural capital accounting” to make better decisions about resource management.

According to the World Economic Forum, protecting and restoring natural ecosystems could provide 37% of the cost-effective CO₂ reduction needed by 2030 to limit global warming to 2°C. This approach also helps ensure a healthy, biodiversity environment for future generations.
