Digital health has gained significance in the wake of the global pandemic that has raised consumer expectations in terms of getting better access to quality healthcare in a safe and secure digital environment. Social distancing and stay-at-home protocols had further heightened the demand for digital care coordination platforms to provide immersive digital experiences and next-gen patient engagement solutions. Furthermore, in the world of consumerism and value-based care, patient-centricity has gained utmost significance in the healthcare ecosystem. Healthcare systems have adopted value-based reimbursement models, where hospitals and Medical practices are reimbursed based on health outcomes, readmission rates and many other components that contribute to patient outcomes at large.
