more and help to avoid illness much earlier
in the cycle, " says Lorscheider. " This collaboration
is not even framed well nor is
there a method to share. FDA needs leadership
to define things so that patient data
can be shared with other sensors to
achieve a more comprehensive picture of
a pa tient's health, " he says.
To help make digital and mHealth happen,
automation will transform the future
of healthcare. " Medi cal facilities are em -
ploying solutions that enable immediate
access to patient information and continuous
collaboration among healthcare
professionals. This automation will aid in
analyzing patient data and operations
data to improve quality of care with augmented
engagement, " says Prasad.

good medical care is not always readily

of devices and information, the
better. We expect the connectivity field
to grow, " says Young.
Similarly, he says that telemedicine
will also continue to enjoy acceptance
and adoption going forward. " The pandemic
has made telemedicine highly
acceptable by both the medical profession
and pa tients. It is even now covered
by private insurance companies. You can
talk to your doctor over a Zoom call,
take a home test, and send in the results.
This is a large step from going to a clinic,
hospital, or doctor's office. We see tele -
medicine as a major growth area. "

Medical technology is evolving at a
faster rate than ever before, says Bra gança.
" Product life cycles will shrink as manufacturers
adopt new technology to maintain a
competitive edge. Manu facturers will need
to be nimbler in the market, pivoting
designs as technology evolves. This environment
will favor manufacturers that
design and produce close to their intended
markets, " Young says.
" One of the big concerns, however, is
that we are creating silos of information
