The Health Challenge Divide: Why Digital Healthcare Matters More Now Than Ever
Digital healthcare is a rapidly changing market that is garnering the attention of providers, payers, health organizations, investors, and every stakeholder in between. It has captured attention at nearly every healthcare industry conference and investor panel in the last 12 months – it’s the buzzword of 2025.
But is it more than that? Digital healthcare encompasses a wide range of technologies all aimed at the simple goal of improving care delivery and outcomes in a digital manner. The vast array of digital healthcare tools and software can largely be divided into two thematic areas: Digital Health Solutions and Digital Delivery of Care. These solutions and tools enhance the quality, efficiency, and accessibility of healthcare. As the digital wave of innovation and investment continues, solutions that simplify the complexities of healthcare while bringing providers closer to patients will prevail in a highly fragmented market.
An Ever-Changing Matrix: How Medical Needs Can Be a Compass for Digital Engagement
The evolution of the healthcare ecosystem and digital solutions will be impacted by the needs of different patient populations. Healthy patients who have fewer medical challenges will largely engage around proactive goal setting and annual wellness visits – much of which can be performed in a digital capacity. Patients with chronic conditions will require more care and coordination across the healthcare ecosystem, likely resulting in more frequent digital and in-person patient care.
With digital healthcare at the forefront of innovation and integration, the healthcare ecosystem can deliver personalized, integrated care experiences to consumers, enhance provider productivity, and improve outcomes and affordability.
Consumerized Healthcare: A Beneficial Disruption for the Entire Healthcare Ecosystem
Digital health solutions are disrupting the healthcare ecosystem as patient- centric care and integrated care experiences merge to the forefront of consumerized healthcare.
What exactly are digital health solutions?
Digital health solutions encompass a broad array of technology and tech-enabled platforms designed to simplify healthcare's complexities. They streamline every aspect of patient management and automate labor-intensive, repetitive workflows, while delivering improved patient outcomes in a cost-effective manner. These solutions also provide a reliable source of continuously updated information, minimizing resource strain, unreliable results, and gaps in care.
Not only is digital healthcare leading the way for more integrated and effective solutions in the healthcare ecosystem – it’s a priority for a vast array of stakeholders. According to the American Medical Association (AMA), “The AMA is dedicated to shaping a future that ensures digital health solutions are an asset and not an additional burden for physicians and patients. Through its ongoing work, the AMA is committed to ensuring physicians have a greater role in leading the design and implementation of trustworthy and equitable health care technologies that enhance patient care, shape a better health care system and improve the health of the nation.” | ![]() |
As digital healthcare evolves, we’ve found four key elements essential to success.
Digital Care Management Solutions Fuel Significant Funding Opportunities
The universe of digital healthcare solutions is still young, with the vast majority of companies receiving series A, B, and C rounds of financing in the last 24 months. Various business models and revenue structures aim to support a broad range of stakeholders, including health plans, employers, health systems, and provider groups.
Adoption of these digital tools has significantly grown in the physician community. In a recent survey, 93% of physicans felt that digital tools are an advantage for providing patient care, with improved clinical outcomes and improved work efficiency being the two largest motivators for adopting digital care technologies in practice. For health plans, digital solutions are equally important. Digital health solutions for health plans are supporting the control and management of rising medical costs, informing decisions based on real- world evidence while supporting member care journeys. Payers are looking for solutions to digitally augment case management, chronic conditions, interactive case management, employer programs, predictive / actionable analytic, and real-world evidence.
