Healthcare industry: Vibrant, evolving, and full of challenges and opportunities

Tomorrow, MTAA CEO Ian Burgess will launch the Digital Health Report, Enabling Remote Care: Funding Pathways for Digital Therapeutics and Remote Patient Monitoring, highlighting what’s at stake for patients, clinicians and Australia’s healthcare system.   These technologies can transform care, reduce pressure on hospitals, and expand access, especially in rural and remote communities.   But it’s not only patients missing out. Governments and taxpayers lose the productivity, cost savings and economic benefits that come with digital health adoption.   The report reveals how a national funding pathway could unlock access to world-leading digital innovation for every Australian. 📅 Report Launch: MTAA MedTech Conference 2025 – Wednesday 22 October  🔗 Don’t miss out on the full report launch: https://lnkd.in/g2-jR65V

Great to see this Medical Technology Association of Australia (MTAA) report on #digitalhealth out in the open. Digital has the potential to achieve significant impact and efficiencies in #healthcare but we need transparent funding pathways to support #innovation.

Automation as a Catalyst for Healthcare Access In the race to make healthcare more efficient and accessible, innovation must extend beyond the laboratory. That’s why The Screening Lab (TheScreeningLab) has developed solutions that use automation as a true catalyst for impact: 🔹 Making diagnostics more accessible to patients and healthcare providers 🔹 Streamlining processes so clinical teams can focus on care rather than administration 🔹 Scaling our ability to support diverse healthcare ecosystems across Australia and beyond For TSL, automation is not about efficiency alone. It is about creating the capacity to focus on what truly matters: shaping the future of diagnostics and improving health outcomes for all. Website: www.thescreeninglab.com

"𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱’𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁.” At Linkedcare, we believe the hardest part of innovation isn’t building something complex — it’s making it look simple. When broadband was in its infancy, the industry faced a tangle of competing standards, fragmented technologies, and conflicting priorities. True progress began only when stakeholders chose collaboration over competition. The creation of the DSL Forum — later the Broadband Forum — was proof that when everyone contributes to a shared framework, everyone wins. The same principle now applies to digital healthcare. Our sector is brimming with innovation, but also with complexity — disconnected systems, incompatible data, and administrative overload. The challenge is not to add more tools, but to integrate them seamlessly, so healthcare professionals can focus on what truly matters: caring for patients. That’s why Linkedcare is building an ecosystem designed to hide complexity from the user — unifying electronic health records, teleconsultation, AI-assisted workflows, and analytics into a single, intuitive platform. When healthcare becomes this simple, the addressable market doesn’t just grow — it transforms. Together, we can make healthcare work better for everyone — doctors, patients, and communities alike.

🚀 Emerging Healthcare Meets Market Research: A Powerful Alliance As the healthcare industry evolves—embracing digital health, personalized medicine, and biotech breakthroughs—market research is becoming its strategic backbone. From decoding patient needs to forecasting innovation trends, data-driven insights are shaping smarter decisions, better products, and more inclusive care models. 🔍 The future of healthcare isn’t just clinical—it’s analytical, empathetic, and insight-led. #HealthcareInnovation #MarketResearch #HealthTech #PatientCentricity #EmergingMarkets #DataDrivenHealthcare #FutureOfHealth #Healthcare #MaketAccess #MarketStrategy #DigitalHealth

The E-health industry has grown rapidly over the past decade, and investors have shown great interest in the sector. The growing demand for innovative healthcare solutions, the digitisation of healthcare services, and the emergence of technologies such as telemedicine are key drivers of this growth. Key points: 🔶 Investment growth: Investment has increased from $1.2 billion in 2010 to $14.6 billion in 2018, a more than 12-fold increase. 🔶 Growth in number of deals: from 154 deals in 2010 to 860 deals in 2017, with a slight decrease in 2018 (769 deals). 🔶 Highlights: 2014: A big jump in funding ($7.1 billion), with a slight decrease in 2015. 2017 and 2018: Peak investment, with $11.7 and $14.6 billion, respectively. #ehealth #healthcare

In July, HCI met with clinicians, researchers, industry leaders, and innovators from across the region for an innovation summit. This event was hosted by the NIHR HealthTech Research Centre in Sustainable Innovation, in partnership with the LEAP Festival of Digital Health, and explored the South West’s role in pioneering sustainable healthcare innovation. You can read more about it in the September edition of the Sustainable HealthTech Digest #DigitalHealth #HealthcareTransformation #HealthTech

Modern healthcare depends on multidisciplinary teams – but we do not have enough of them. Specialists are in short supply, even as patient demand rises. For years, medicine has relied on collective intelligence, with clinicians sharing cases, symptoms, and lab results to guide treatment decisions. Now, technology allows us to go further – adding personal context and tailoring care more precisely to each individual. The power of collective knowledge can be scaled and made available to the masses, regardless of background, culture, or language. The opportunity is to combine human expertise with technology so personalised, equitable care is no longer limited by resources.
