Leader’s Expectation for 2022

Dr. Angeli Misra, Director Lifeline laboratory

Emerging healthcare trends for the near future are set to be largely driven by the Covid-19 pandemic. Virtual healthcare solutions for primary care of chronic medical conditions with telemedicine and teleconsultation, personalized service, doorstep testing, focus on accessible and affordable quality preventive healthcare and well-being, and pharmacy services at a click, have come to the fore in a big way. Improved technological innovations in the manufacturing of testing equipment, data analytic solutions, and process automation, upgradation of skills of the workforce, extensive research and development, improved marketing techniques and employment of social media to spread the message, health insurance needs, and a re-invention of national health policies, bearing in mind the urgent need for meeting the challenges of improving the emotional and mental well-being of people, which has suffered in the wake of social isolation and economic crisis in the lockdown scenario, are pressing and immediate concerns which are shaping the future trends for 2022.
