Digital Technology in Medical Travel & Tourism
India’s healthcare sector has grown drastically in the last
decade but still lacks the capacity to deal with our burgeoning population. With just 1 doctor for every 1,700
patients, the length of medical consultations has shrunk
to just 2 minutes on average. Such short consultations
are inadequate for a thorough investigation of patients’
symptoms, medical history, and diagnostic tests. Unsurprisingly, a greater number of people are turning to
online health care for various needs, from data tracking
and lab tests to self-care tools and interpretation of test
results. These developments can help reduce the burden
on an already stretched healthcare infrastructure, as it reduces dependence on in-hospital services.
