From robust EMR/EHR software to powerful wearables that can track the care delivery, a major part of this transformation is fuelled by innovative solutions from a new breed of startups. According to Silicon Valley bank, in 2016, venture investors poured in $12.2 billion into healthcare, supporting companies that promise to change everything from cancer care to the process of finding a new doctor. Further research and development in the direction of artificial intelligence, analytics, and genomics technologies are all driving this digital stride in the modern healthcare sector, more so in startups than in larger operational bodies. As investments continue to grow, a huge amount of information about patients and their outcomes are being gathered, and data startups are using this information for gaining insights. These insights, will in turn accelerate the quality of patient care, lower mortality, and reduce expenses. Additionally, Internet of Things based implementations are operating on different pain-points in healthcare, facilitating real-time patient monitoring and prevention care outside of hospital settings.Health care entrepreneurs have specific requirements, different from those of others, with challenges innate to them.
