The COVID-19 pandemic sped up the digital transformation of healthcare in just a few years, compressing changes that once took years into only a few months. Limited access to hospitals pushed patients and doctors to quickly adapt to new formats, such as video consultations, online appointments, and electronic medical records.
Even after the pandemic, the demand for safe, user-friendly services remains high, while expectations for convenience and speed have grown. Today, everything needs to be accessible online — from booking a visit with a general practitioner to checking test results — without waiting in line or making phone calls. At the heart of these changes are the users themselves: patients, doctors, and clinic administrators.
Telemedicine, e-prescriptions, and patient portals are among the fastest-growing areas. These services have already become standard in both private clinics and public healthcare institutions.
Let’s look at the main trends for healthcare project launches:
Telemedicine
Telemedicine includes digital tools that enable doctors to work with patients remotely. Video consultations, medical chats, online questionnaires, e-prescriptions, and access to medical records through personal accounts have become standard parts of healthcare. These services often integrate with medical information systems (MIS), simplifying communication with healthcare professionals. By providing care remotely, telemedicine helps reach more patients while reducing the burden on clinics.
AI and personalized therapy
AI-powered medical systems can automatically process large amounts of clinical data, from lab results to MRI scans and patient histories. This enables the creation of personalized treatment plans that take into account not only the diagnosis but also genetic factors and the patient’s lifestyle. Such approaches are already applied in oncology, cardiology, and neurorehabilitation.
Automation of medical processes
Modern medical information systems (MIS) include modules for managing electronic health records, scheduling, resource allocation, billing, and medication tracking. Many of these systems integrate with laboratory information systems (LIS), PACS (for storing medical images), and other third-party services. Automation helps streamline workflows and reduce errors, benefiting both individual clinics and entire healthcare networks.
Launching a healthcare product means fitting it into a complex, fast-moving ecosystem. Success comes from quickly adapting to the needs of patients, doctors, and administrators. Off-the-shelf solutions don’t always work — the system must be flexible, scalable, and able to connect with essential services. This way, products complement the healthcare system and bring real value to users.
