Abstract
Over centuries, healthcare evolved into a complex system in which providers, payers, and patients interact at multiple levels. However, a novel proposition in healthcare is needed while supporting preventive, predictive, personalized, and participatory medicine. Hence, to promote innovation and development, moving the healthcare industry forward, a few challenges need to be faced. Increased quality care and services, aging and chronic diseases, reduction of costs, efficient organization, data protection, stress management, and innovative approaches are just a few. Moreover, digital transformation accompanied by advanced technologies brought enormous changes and the need of revising the entire healthcare system. In fact, to foster innovation healthcare should deliver new value propositions, transforming into an ecosystem that is digital, portable, connected, experience-enhancing, supportive, patient-centric, and affordable. Three concepts will be central in this innovative approach: digital clinics, digital patients, and digital devices; developing healthcare toward an empowered and democratized system directly in a pocket.
