Bringing Data-Enabled Healthcare to Asian-Pacific Nations

Asia-Pacific (APAC) is the most population-dense region of the world with an increasingly growing aged populace. However, substantial disparities to healthcare access exist, setting the stage for an upcoming healthcare crisis. In an article published by the World Economic Forum, Ahmed Elhusseiny discusses how sustainable, data-driven, personalized care approaches can help tackle this pressing issue before it’s too late.

According to Elhusseiny, “Personalised healthcare puts patients at the heart of the healthcare system by leveraging insights from real-world data against an individual patient’s medical and genomic data. This facilitates more precise treatment decisions. For patients, this data-based approach has a clear and exponential benefit: Access to precise treatments with better outcomes and greater quality of life. Digital and personalised healthcare can also play an important role in advancing ambitions like universal health care by allowing resources to be invested efficiently and prioritized more effectively. It also presents opportunities to use real-world data to inform access and reimbursement decisions and allocate resources where there is the greatest need.”
