MedTech to Take Advantage of Digital Health Platform as a Service Model to Accelerate Digital Transformation across the Healthcare Industry

A proven, compliant platform can expedite market entry and optimize time and effort without building competencies internally, finds Frost & Sullivan

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MedTech and Life Sciences companies are transitioning beyond biopharmaceuticals, medical devices, and equipment to provide end-to-end solutions across the patient care continuum. The theme that runs through all these efforts is healthcare data; however, healthcare data management and analysis capabilities are difficult to procure. A domain-specific Platform as a Service (PaaS) that offers an easy to connect, secure, and compliant cloud and edge environment for secure data access and sharing among multiple stakeholders can be the secret sauce to a seamless digital transformation and rapid return on investment.

Frost & Sullivan's white paper, MedTech Industry Leverages Platform as a Service (PaaS) to Overcome Hurdles, Capitalize on Big Data and Truly Embrace Digital Transformation, discusses the various platform approaches that are available to support MedTech vendors in their digital transformation efforts. It analyzes the advantages of a platform approach for managing healthcare data from multiple sources; leveraging applications that enable MedTech companies to offer value to healthcare providers, professionals, and patients beyond their products and services; and contributing to improved outcomes.
