Navigating the Digital Healthcare Landscape: Insights from Rupak Barua, Director, Group CEO of AMRI Hospitals, on Cybersecurity, Rural Health, and Future Trends

Kolkata: The digital healthcare ecosystem comprises a network of interconnected technologies and services designed to enhance the delivery and management of healthcare and these advancements are likely to shape the future of healthcare delivery, making it more accessible, efficient, and patient-centric.

APAC News Network recently organised the National Securing Cyberspace for Digital Governance Conclave, hosted by the Department of Information Technology and Electronics, Government of West Bengal. Rupak Barua, the Director & Group CEO of AMRI Hospitals talked on the topic of “Building Resilient & Cyber Secured Digital Healthcare Ecosystem.”

“Digital healthcare is a multi-disciplinary approach. It incorporates technology and healthcare. Over time it applies to software, hardware and healthcare services. In 2018, the total digital healthcare expense was around 118 billion INR, and according to the computed annual growth (CAG) rate, we are expecting that it will be reaching approximately 495 billion INR by 2024, amounting to almost 27 percent growth rate,” Barua said.

Digital healthcare in rural areas

“Approximately 70 percent of the population stays in rural areas, and less than 30 percent in urban areas. It is the 30 percent that enjoys 73 percent of the infrastructure, and out of the rural population, 50 percent do not have access to even minimal healthcare.”

Limited internet connectivity, low technological literacy, infrastructure constraints, and financial limitations are some of the major concerns related to accessibility of digital health care in rural areas. Community health platforms connect healthcare workers and facilities, fostering collaboration. Government support is essential for infrastructure development and technology adoption.

Digital healthcare in rural areas can significantly enhance medical services by leveraging technologies such as telemedicine, mobile health apps, and electronic health records. Successfully overcoming these challenges demands collaborative efforts tailored to the unique needs of rural communities.

Cost reduction through technology

Digital health reduces costs in the healthcare sector by improving efficiency and streamlining processes. Telemedicine and virtual consultations minimise the need for in-person visits, saving time and travel expenses.

Transitioning to electronic health records enhances information management, reduces paperwork, and lowers the risk of errors. Remote monitoring and preventive care tools help prevent costly complications and hospital readmissions.

Digital health technologies optimise workflow, allocate resources more effectively, and contribute to population health management. Enhanced care coordination and communication among healthcare providers reduces redundant tests and fragmented care. Telepharmacy services and medication management tools improve adherence, minimising medication-related complications.

Digital healthcare pre and post COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has propelled the widespread adoption of digital healthcare solutions, with telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, and data analytics playing pivotal roles. Telemedicine, initially a response to social distancing needs, has persisted post-COVID, offering convenient healthcare access.

Remote monitoring and wearable technology has contributed to proactive healthcare management. Digital tools for symptom screening and health education, honed during the pandemic, are a valuable component in public health awareness and preventive measures.

The digitisation of vaccination records and increased emphasis on EHR integration highlight efforts toward streamlined healthcare information exchange. Mental health support through digital platforms, advancements in pharmacy services, and the continued focus on cybersecurity and data privacy are anticipated to endure in the post-pandemic era.

The question of security in Digital Healthcare

Barua underscored the importance of cybersecurity in the health care sector. He talked about the recent cyberattack on December 16, 2023, which impacted five servers belonging to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), resulting in the encryption of approximately 1.3 terabytes of data.

Cybersecurity in healthcare is imperative to protect sensitive patient information and maintain the integrity of healthcare services. The sector faces challenges such as the threat of ransomware attacks, securing connected medical devices, addressing insider threats, and ensuring compliance with regulations like HIPAA.

Continuous monitoring, robust incident response plans, and employee training are essential components of a strong cybersecurity strategy. Interoperability efforts and collaboration with third-party vendors necessitate rigorous security measures, including data encryption and access controls.

As healthcare becomes increasingly digitised, the industry must prioritise comprehensive cybersecurity measures to safeguard patient data, maintain operational continuity, and foster trust in the healthcare ecosystem.
