Digital transformation in health: challenges and opportunities in the age of technology
The health sector plays a fundamental role in society, aiming to guarantee people's well-being and quality of life. However, it faces a number of challenges that can affect access to healthcare and the efficiency of services.
Among the challenges faced are the lack of interoperability between systems, geographical limitations that hinder access to healthcare in remote areas, the lack of connectivity in these regions, concerns about the cybersecurity of sensitive data, the management of large volumes of health data, the lack of efficient communication between healthcare professionals and the need to improve medical waste management.
The COVID-19 pandemic has put even more pressure on the sector, highlighting the importance of transforming healthcare towards prevention and well-being, rather than a system based on incident response. Technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, quantum computing and the cloud can play a key role in this transition.
