curtail increasing healthcare costs, the need to find new ways to handle the growing number of individuals with chronic diseases,
and the desire to provide better and safer medical care. In addition, key players in the healthcare ecosystem are also searching
for ways to better support aging populations and improve patient satisfaction.
Tractica’s white paper analyzes 10 key trends that are influencing the development of the global digital health industry, and is
