Design engineers need tools that help them explore large number of design options.
Access to affordable and advanced healthcare is a key to driving innovation for healthcare companies focusing on India. This is going to be especially crucial for the 1.25 billion population in India. With increasing insurance coverage and also the surge in Government spending, there is a large population in India who are looking at accessing high quality healthcare facilities. The need of the hour is better healthcare facilities. Along with this, there will also be a higher demand for medical devices and equipment. In the current scenario, there is a huge gap between demand and supply, especially local supply. Approximately 75% of medical devices and equipment in India are imported today. This makes the devices expensive and the treatment more expensive.
In future, medical treatment will evolve to towards P4 Medicine. This includes Preventive, Predictive, Participatory, and Personalised. To achieve this goal, we need to continuously measure the virtual parameters that can define patient health. It is only through digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, VR/AR, 3D-printing, robotics or nanotechnology, that this can become a reality. To make it accessible to all, it is pertinent to ensure that this is affordable.
