Healthcare transformation is trending in the right direction. Innovative companies are springing up with new cost models and new technology – like devices to monitor patient behavior and artificial intelligence to deliver insights from that data. We’re making the necessary move towards online and digital healthcare, but this shift won’t improve the patient experience on its own.
We can fill cheap prescriptions online, or track our symptoms with a wearable device.

Additionally, the development of new drugs must be based on scientific research and clinical trials, which can be a time-consuming and complex process. Furthermore, the high costs associated with bringing a new drug to market can be a barrier to innovation in the pharmaceutical industry. Because of these factors, innovation in the pharmaceutical industry tends to focus on the development of new and improved treatments for specific medical conditions.
