Digitization and Healthcare

Digitization goes deeper into industry and life, and the significance of each moment is more prominent.

If you do every moment well, you will achieve a new end and a new beginning.

“This is the end; this is the beginning” (This is the end; this is the beginning) is the last comment of the famous critic Professor Wallerstein, and it is also his final reflection.

Looking back at the years when digital technology has flourished, the changes in the first half of the Internet are very exciting and disturbing, but this is just the beginning of an end, not the beginning of an end.

This change will become very profound and meaningful in the historical perspective. For each of us, maybe we, like Microsoft, have missed the “mobile era” and we need to open the “cloud era” like Microsoft.

This reminds me of the famous saying by Churchill in “The Darkest Hour”:

“Success is not the end, failure is not the end, the most important thing is the courage to move on.”

Therefore, when we encounter the huge impact of the epidemic crisis, as long as we are willing to accept the crisis and coexist with the crisis, and are willing to solve the crisis, the results of the crisis will be placed in front of us.

But only with the will is not enough, we also need to act, so that there will be results.

There must be actions to deal with the crisis, actions to directly face the difficulties to resolve the crisis, and plans to act immediately.

This is right. As long as we do this, I believe that good results will definitely belong to you.

Notes related to Digitization and healthcare industry

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, digitalization may help to tackle numerous current challenges:

1) Advise citizens on the symptoms of infection.

It can abate misinformation through constant and automatic synchronization, which makes it almost impossible to manipulate or change any kind of information relevant for crisis mitigation and adaptation.

2) To better manage medical data across organizations and countries.

It could establish successful communication between various organizations like hospitals and research centers, along with secure donations and medical supplies, making the whole process transparent and enhancing public confidence in the system.

3) To track donations for medical supplies and medicine.

Digital impact finance tools will have great potential for the SDG impact-oriented optimization of public, post-pandemic economic stimulus packages, which can be expected to be launched soon by governments all over the world on a huge scale.
