The healthcare ecosystem is experiencing disruption from new sources and in new ways, driven in part by empowered consumers exerting greater influence. This trend is opening up fresh possibilities, allowing for new business models, on-demand digital healthcare experiences and a shift in delivery modes towards outpatient and home care. New market entrants have emerged to deliver and finance healthcare for patients demanding affordability, convenience and personalisation.
Retailers and big tech firms are harnessing their physical spaces and network scale to address issues of cost and accessibility. And an increasing number of young and creative companies are inventing entirely new models for care delivery, payment and logistics, many of them addressed directly to consumers and all enabled by technology. Retail establishments, online providers and traditional care providers saddled with physical infrastructure will need to determine how best to partner with new entrants while highlighting their own unique contributions to the healthcare marketplace.
