The health industry is among the top beneficiaries of the many innovations of the digital age. With a foreseen increase in healthcare facilities, fueled by healthcare providers investing more in complex real estate portfolios, healthcare has never been as driven by patient care and improved customer service as it is today.
More flexible facilities for inpatients are on the rise, thanks to widespread training among clinicians in augmented reality. With AR, providers can now decide on the correct procedures quickly. AR likewise addresses the lack of professionals by instituting more hands-on systems for healthcare training and learning.

Big data and machine learning technology are freeing up practitioners from the clerical aspect of healthcare, allowing for better preventive measures, faster diagnoses, improved feedback, and generally limiting the spread of diseases. All in all, both beginning clinicians and experts can hone their skills as they are provided quicker access to data for deeper analytics.
Patient personalization is key, especially as healthcare providers seek to address paperwork, evidenced by elaborate questionnaires for incoming patients. With patient data at their fingertips, patients need not fill out these forms. Doctors can even view patients’ clinical history remotely and hand out diagnoses online.
