As the population grows, there is a rising burden on healthcare, especially due to the lack of healthcare specialists. Furthermore, there also needs to be a reign on the rising healthcare costs. Thus, there is a need or quality care at affordable rate which can be achieved by health innovations. Although innovation is the key, it is difficult to implement it due to the healthcare industry being fragmented and resistant to change. It has always been a challenge to implement technology in the healthcare sector and even when implemented, it is slow to adopt.

1. THE RISING INNOVATIONS IN
HEALTHCARE
As the population grows, there is a rising burden on healthcare, especially due to the lack of healthcare specialists.
Furthermore, there also needs to be a reign on the rising healthcare costs. Thus, there is a need for quality care at
affordable rate which can be achieved by health innovations. Although innovation is the key, it is difficult to
implement it due to the healthcare industry being fragmented and resistant to change. It has always been a
challenge to implement technology in the healthcare sector and even when implemented, it is slow to adopt.
However, the scenario is changing slowly but surely. Today governments along with innovators, healthcare experts
and researchers are hailing new technology and are putting g in efforts to come up with solutions that will improve
the healthcare quality, safety as well as the cost. While some are pioneering innovative delivery systems, others
are testing better safety practices in order to errors. Then there are attempts to provide resources to consumers to
live healthier which could mean building more sidewalks, or emphasizing the importance of exercising in school
etc. Innovation could be as simple as this or as complicated as building new technologically driven systems.
Personalized Medicine
This revolutionary innovation in today’s world that has benefitted the medical community immensely is
personalized medicine. It is based on the mapping of the complete genetic makeup of the individual customizing
therapies and treatments based on that information. These plans work specifically for the patient as they are
designed keeping in mind the genetic makeup of the patient. Not just treatments, this innovation will also help to

2. monitor patients who are predisposed to certain conditions and thus deliver targeted treatments before the
condition takes root.
Regenerative Medicine
This is another revolutionary innovation in the modern medical world. The focus of this innovation is to heal or
replace the damaged organs and tissues of the patient with their own cells rather than making use of drugs or
relying on organ donation. This will not just enable managing the disease but also curing it. Therefore, organs are
being made from the cells of the patient so that the failing organ can be replaced with an organ made from their
own cells. There is very minimum risk involved and it ensures high success rate.
These technologies will enable people to live a much healthier and longer lives that are bereft of diseases and
conditions. Governments across the globe realize the importance of health innovations and therefore are taking
steps to ensure that more innovations are being researched as well as implemented. Although it is costly, the end
result will benefit the nation on the whole. There are a number of exciting researches being carried out and many
seem promising, soon the healthcare scenario will change drastically as medicine becomes more personalized and
spot on.
