2. Where we are today
Presently, healthcare clinics, medical and
diagnostic centers are making use of
technology like never before, benefitting the
patients.
Globally, healthcare tech is considered
paramount by the medical fraternity, which
provides better clinic management solutions
to healthcare centers and clinics.
But when technology is making things easier
for the functioning of the healthcare
segment, it is natural to have some
challenges too. Be it those who are using it or
those who are still new to healthcare tech.

3. Traditional data maintenance
in the age of digitization
The last few years have seen unprecedented advancement
in medical technologies, whether equipment or medical
staff functioning. The traditional method used in the
healthcare segment is feeding the data manually in excel
sheets, which has its limitations, dependent on human
effort.
In case of emergency, the availability of vital statistics is
mandatory, which should be provided immediately. But
finding records manually may consume a lot of valuable
time and effort, which may prove fatal for the patient.

4. Cyber threats making it
difficult to operate:
Cyber security is one of the prime concerns of the
healthcare segment. There are some life-critical services
and treatments that are given to patients, which are
monitored technically.
Sometimes uninvited cyber glitches could prove to be
great threats. The hospital data is confidential and
sensitive, so it must be preserved securely.

5. Dealing with data privacy
Every country has its privacy laws, treatment regulations
and medical standards. This makes things difficult for
healthcare professionals while sharing information.
Dealing with such regulatory measures can burden data
fluidity and pose challenges in the adoption of advanced
healthcare tech involving data.

6. Lack of a user-friendly
interface
Too much data and information on the screen is
overwhelming for the user to navigate. Going through all
the information and too much navigation is annoying
and time-consuming for doctors and caregivers.

7. Standardization and
integration of data
Data integration from various sources is not easy as
there are no standard formats that the healthcare and
diagnostic centers are following.
Also, the professional engaged in collecting and handling
the data is not the one who is going to use it. So there
are very good chances that some vital information can
be missed out.
