The Evolution of the Italian Health Sector

The Evolution of the Italian Health Sector

In recent years, healthcare has sought to integrate with other industrial sectors in order to offer a better customer experience.
The evolution of digital technologies, some specifically developed for healthcare (such as telemedicine, the Internet of Medical Things and wearable technology) and some from other sectors (such as artificial intelligence, the blockchain) have begun to demonstrate the ability to reduce healthcare costs overall, maintaining or improving the quality of care.

But with how technology is transforming the way people buy, earn and travel, great strides still have to be made in integrating healthcare. So far, digital transformation, while allowing positive changes, has not radically changed the services, processes or business models in the healthcare sector.
