Care Providers A limited budget and a fragmented sector have challenged care providers to find innovative ways to approach patients and provide equal solutions to a population with unequal access to healthcare. The lack of a preventive healthcare culture among patients has pushed care providers to reformulate their offering and to communicate the dangers of poor health and unhealthy lifestyles through creative, yet functional methods. Technology is now key to creating a new approach to healthcare. From independent physicians to insurance companies, digital solutions for providers and patients are revolutionizing the sector.
