Accenture report: Vision of digital health technology

Accenture has released a new report, "Digital Health Technology Vision". As digitalization becomes more and more important in all aspects of healthcare, medical institutions must master a new set of digital technologies to provide convenient and effective care. Among the 221 hospital executives surveyed, almost all (94%) believe that emerging technologies have accelerated the pace of innovation in the past three years.

However, while technology investments are progressing, healthcare organizations must do more to meet the growing expectations of patients and employees. For example, three-quarters of executives (77%) believe that their employees are currently more digitally mature than their organizations, causing employees to "wait" for the organization to catch up. More than two-thirds of executives (68%) believe that distributed ledger technology (DARQ) will have a transformational or widespread impact on their organizations within the next three years, and the majority of organizations (89%) are currently piloting at least one DARQ technology.

The report also predicts key trends that are likely to disrupt the healthcare business over the next three years:

Of the four DARQ technologies, 41% of respondents believe AI will have the greatest impact on their organization in the short term.

38% of healthcare organizations have already adopted XR in one or more business units, the most of any DARQ technology.

87% of healthcare executives believe that integrated customization and real-time delivery are the next wave of competitive advantages.

82% of respondents agree that 5G will transform healthcare by providing new ways to deliver products and services.

86% of respondents believe that digital demographics are increasingly becoming a more powerful way to understand their customers.

68% of respondents said that within the next three years, every employee in their organization will have access to a team of robots to do their job.
