Is Your MedTech Organization Ready for Digital Transformation? The 5 Key Questions to Ask.

MedTech Digital Transformation

Riding the Wave of Digital Transformation in MedTech

Data, the fuel for digital transformation in MedTech, is as abundant as water. It pervades your organization and internet-connected medical devices. It fuels electronic medical record (EMR) and other healthcare information systems, providing context for patient responses to your devices or therapies. And it saturates the broader world of social media, where people are talking about how your products have affected their lives.

Are you ready to harness all of this data to drive innovation across your business and demonstrate that your products can improve care while lowering costs? Ask yourself the 5 questions below. At stake is access to new customers and success in value-based care contracts.

  1. Do you have a strategy for digital transformation that includes interoperability, data governance, and analytics?
  2. Can you seamlessly connect device and clinical data from EMRs and other healthcare information systems?
  3. For value-based care or other outcome-based contracts, are you identifying the patient cohorts and care pathways most likely to benefit from your devices and therapies, and creating real-world evidence of efficacy and cost reduction?
  4. Are you easily consuming and aggregating data in any format in real-time?
  5. Do you have one information system that can supply unified data from all sources for advanced analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence initiatives?

Unless you can answer ‘yes’ to all of these questions, a fresh approach to digital transformation may be in order.

InterSystems: One Platform, More Value from All the Data

Deloitte Center for Health Solutions report, "MedTech and the Internet of Medical Things: How connected devices are transforming health care." July 2018

InterSystems software supports digital transformation by unifying and harnessing data from across your organization and external sources. InterSystems provides a single solution with all the capabilities you need to address your most pressing information technology and business challenges, including:

  • Aggregating device data, whether from other systems or directly in an IoT (Internet of Things) environment
  • Creating data pipelines for analytics and operationalizing advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning models
  • Driving analytics-based insights to improve products and clinical care, to identify patient cohorts for marketing, and to enhance research and development
  • Decreasing the time, effort and cost of post-market surveillance and other real-world data activities, and preventing adverse clinical events
  • Capturing device, patient survey, and clinical outcome metrics to demonstrate the value of devices and therapies in value-based care contracts
  • Reining in rising costs due to the need for multiple solutions for data aggregation, analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence

Digital Transformation Success Stories

InterSystems data platform, comprehensive data interoperability, clinical data informatics products, and analytics and machine learning support are used by the largest, most innovative and well-known device and solution providers in the world. These unified capabilities help you simplify your system architecture and reduce the cost of aggregating and using data from multiple types of information systems and applications.

Collaboration in Value-based Care

MedTech companies are using InterSystems technology to create solutions for value-based care collaborations. For example, identifying high-insulin-use Type 1 diabetes patients who would benefit from a move to a more advanced insulin pump device. Others are creating platforms to aggregate and normalize data from multiple information systems within their companies and from their customers’ systems. The merged data can be used in applications that, for example, match patients to therapies, coordinate shared accountability for clinical and economic outcomes, and help customers create predictable, reliable processes to get the right interventions to the right patients at the right time.
