The “fourth industrial revolution”—which describes an IoT and AI-fueled future—may be incrementally unfolding in some cities, but rural communities often lag behind because of connectivity constraints. Next-gen advancements could level that playing field.
And that gap could widen because of regulatory and market pressures, says Dr. Gautam Sivakumar, a physician and founder of hospital information systems company Medisas. The high cost of keeping up with administrative and medical tech, plus competition for talent from urban centers, puts added stress on rural hospitals.
Some of these upgrades could include health information management, and reporting and billing services. And beyond cloud-based innovations, Sivakumar says 5G-enabled video connectivity could help patients connect with specialists all over the globe—whether at local hospitals or their homes—possibly even affording them “the same level of care that their contemporaries in an urban center might get.”A next-gen transformation has broader implications, too.
