Introduction

The health sector has been in constant motion this year. One of the most important changes has been the move toward a patient-centric view that all providers are adopting. Healthcare is moving away from its traditionally parental role, empowering patients to take the lead in their health journey. Patient-centricity is also being positioned at the core of solution design and development of products and novel care models.

A patient-centric model is especially valuable for Mexico as one of the country’s largest health burdens is the prevalence of chronic diseases, which could worsen if care gaps are not bridged. To address this, care providers are betting on tech and education, while also developing new financing and reach-out models to enhance health access. As the country faces an 8.6 percent inflation rate, financing and valuebased care access models are becoming fundamental to ensure healthcare access.

Digitalization is embedded in every part of this transformation process. From creating electronic medical records to integrating a health ecosystem, providers are advancing tech developments that enhance continuous access to healthcare and boost care provision. At the same time, entrepreneurs are working toward standardizing innovation and opening up the market to novel solutions that aim to positively impact patients and providers.

Providers are also targeting diagnostic capabilities to prevent diseases from advancing. This focus on prevention, timely detection and intervention is leading hospitals to reconfigure their facilities and services to focus on ambulatory and home-care options that also integrate primary healthcare services.
