Smart healthcare technology innovations to combat the COVID-19 coronavirus and improve people\u2019s daily lives are at the center of the UAE\u2019s healthcare spend topping USD 21 billion by 2021, industry experts announced today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UAE government continues to increase its healthcare spend \u2013 especially in supporting healthcare technology innovations that can help to manage lifestyle diseases and coronavirus. As a result, the UAE\u2019s healthcare spend is set to top USD 21 billion by 2021,\u00a0according to<\/a>\u00a0the United States \u2013 UAE Business Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHealthcare technology innovations are the foundation of the UAE\u2019s record-high healthcare spend,\u201d said Andrew Calthorpe, CEO, at Condo Protego. \u201cAcross the UAE, healthcare providers are leveraging technology to help counter the coronavirus now, and to deliver new levels of patient-centric healthcare in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Healthcare providers should take a 4-step process in their digital transformation: modernizing IT infrastructure, maintaining 24\/7 cloud access, launching mobile apps, and enhancing cybersecurity, argues Condo Protego, the leading UAE-based IT infrastructure and information management consultancy and solutions provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRunning secure, cloud-based digital platforms and mobile apps can deliver numerous business and patient benefits,\u201d added Andrew Calthorpe. \u201cHealthcare technology can help healthcare providers to optimize costs, enhance doctor and patient communication, enable patient self-care, and protect from cyber-threats.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4 Steps for Healthcare Providers to Drive Digital Transformation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The first step for healthcare providers is to modernize their IT infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using solutions built around the\u00a0Dell EMC connected health transformation<\/a>\u00a0portfolio, healthcare providers can connect doctors, patients, pharmacies, and health insurance companies on one cloud-based digital platform. Patients can self-monitor their healthcare records, schedule appointments, and manage their payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result, the UAE is also at the forefront of the Middle East and Africa\u2019s smart hospitals market, which\u00a0Kenneth Research predicts<\/a>\u00a0will top USD 2 billion by 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Due to social distancing requirements, UAE healthcare providers are increasingly turning to cloud-based telehealth measures to treat patients. Healthcare providers are increasingly turning to\u00a0Veritas\u2019 high availability solutions<\/a>\u00a0to maintain 24\/7 access to data for both doctors and patients, and to automate their data management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once healthcare providers go on the cloud, they should embrace mobile apps, scale up on the cloud as their number of services and patients grows, and maximize their security.\u00a0VMware\u2019s solutions<\/a>\u00a0can drive innovation across any app, cloud, or device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This connected environment is seeing healthcare providers confront cyber-attacks. Many are turning to\u00a0solutions from Secureworks<\/a>\u00a0that can help them to protect their healthcare networks, and also to identify, contain, and eradicate cyber threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Smart healthcare technology innovations to combat the COVID-19 coronavirus and improve people\u2019s daily lives are at the center of the UAE\u2019s healthcare spend topping USD 21 billion by 2021, industry experts announced today.
