Health Care
A number of factors -- the wearables market expected to reach one billion in the next three years, platforms like iHealth rolling out, and the fact that over 50 percent of physicians own a tablet -- indicate that the health care market is clearly ripe for a massive technology change.
According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, the global health care market is worth $9.6 trillion. At the same time, it’s riddled with problems and inefficiencies. Fortunately, a host of new technologies is working to change that. This is a new emerging market and all indicators point to 2016 being a breakout year. Whether it’s telemedicine, fitness, cloud-based EHR, Big Data or wearables, many exciting apps and mobile technologies are about to emerge, changing the face of health care forever.
