"The new vision for healthcare in 2021 will focus on using digital means to ensure access, quality, and affordability, in addition to strategies designed to overcome the losses sustained in 2020. At the same time, it is important to ensure healthcare remains precise, preventive, and outcome-based in the promotion of social and financial inclusion," said Chandni Mathur, Healthcare & Life Sciences Senior Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Between 2021 and 2023, innovative business models are expected to emerge. These will be targeted at developing innovative return on investment (ROI) streams to regain lost revenues while ensuring patient centricity."

Mathur added: "With interoperability and data security being high-stake issues, the healthcare sector will experience a transformation in business, novel models of delivery, and the emergence of new businesses in the next five years. Additionally, non-traditional healthcare players, such as Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft, will play a key role in this transformation with high penetration in the virtual care space."

As patients grow accustomed to digital healthcare, service providers will focus on building efficiencies and managing scalability issues for the following growth opportunities:

• Real-world, data-supported approaches to increase the adoption of immuno-oncology (I-O) agents into the standard of care.
• Digital point-of-care testing (POCT) platforms for infectious disease testing.
• Artificial intelligence in imaging and virtual platforms in high-acuity care to optimize workflow and improve clinical outcomes.
• Expansion of telehealth services toward virtual care across the care continuum.
