InHomePersonalServiceswas foundedinearly2004.Michael foundedthecompany,andhe onceagaincollaboratedwithhis mother.In-HomePersonal Serviceswouldfulfillits commitment,asstatedinits missionstatement. To provide quality homecare with high standards that promote independence at a low cost.

Michaelasserts, "We are often asked, "How did you start the business?". Our answer: we never tried to start a business. We set out to do something that mattered. The business was a vehicle to get us there. In that, the mission was born. “

Michael'sJourney

“For me, it's not a measurement of success that many would think is conventional. I am blessed for everything life has provided. The good, the bad and the ugly have all shaped my life and where I

stand today, I say thank you for it all. Without the challenges, the failures, and the struggles, there would be nothing worth celebrating and life would be boring. My life is anything but unfulfilled. I have the privilege of doing what I love... making a difference in the lives of others. My journey is far from over, and that, too, is a blessing. Because of all the lives I have yet to reach and impact for the better. “

Michael'sFinalAdvice

Being a part of In Home Personal Services, I can honestly say I never felt like I had a "job". I

have a mission, a drive, and a life that gives me the chance to be a positive force for others in countless ways I never even imagined. Find that in your life. It may actually be the true secret to happiness. It certainly is for me. “

ADVANCES IN EVOLUTION HEALTHCARE

Today's healthcare sector trends include innovative technology and solutions that meet clinical diagnostic, treatment, and disease management needs. The global COVID-19 epidemic prompted a boom in technology for disinfection, transmission control, illness detection, treatment, patient care, and vaccination.

worldsleaders.com | 47

E-consultations, telemedicine, and real-time diagnostics are just a few of the improvements in the healthcare business, as are immersion technology tools for accessing digital therapies.

Precision medicine is made possible by genetic analysis, clinical data storage, and big data analytics. Start-ups use real-time, remote monitoring equipment to personalise treatment planning and execution for specific patients. Hospitals are becoming smarter as artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), and data management methods become more prevalent. These solutions improve workflows and staff scheduling while also providing linked infrastructure, devices, and systems to help clinicians offer more accurate and equitable care.

COVID-19 has uncovered crucial vulnerabilities such as safety, equipment, data availability, and infrastructure in health care organisations throughout the world. It was clear early on that "going it alone," in terms of relying only on an organization's own supply lines and skills, was not an

option. As a result, impromptu alliances emerged, with providers, suppliers, and nonhealthcare businesses pitching in to contribute resources and the ability to solve the problem.

Successful businesses will expand on this approach, looking for ways to bridge gaps and innovate with partners that bring unique capabilities to the table to address difficulties.

Supply Chain Efficiency and Flexibility

In ways we have never seen before in health care, successful supply chains are becoming a significant differentiator and a crucial element of the care delivery process. Getting it correctly necessitates strategic systems thinking across all organisational departments.

More Innovation to Get Ahead

In health care, cooperative competition, or coo petition, is a hot topic. While some groups perceive big-box retailers, national pharmacy chains, and other newcomers as dangers, others see opportunity. Their

approach is to use these power players' strengths to reduce healthcare costs, expand downstream market share, and focus on core specialist services while remaining deeply linked to patients.

We may now receive items the same day we order them and track them from order placement to delivery minute by minute. It's hardly surprising that people want their healthcare providers to operate with the same high degree of efficiency and openness. Instead, some patients may have to wait weeks or months for an appointment, with no guarantee as to when their exam findings will be available.

To increase the convenience, timeliness, and transparency of treatment, organisations must examine their present obstacles to customer satisfaction and employ analytics and patient-centric solutions.

THE CHANGING SHIFT IN HEALTHCARE FROM TRADITIONAL TO MODERN VIEW

worldsleaders.com | 51

New companies are shifting the global healthcare axis. In remote places spanning the enormous continents of Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Australia, world-class medical treatments are now available, and a new type of consumer has emerged as a result. The $9.59 trillion global healthcare industry is open to innovations that can enhance or replace conventional person-toperson clinical interactions, allowing consumers to get treatment wherever they are.

New entrants have pioneered avenues into virtual healthcare, more inexpensive and convenient treatment alternatives, clinics that replace rigid public health, fitness and wellness, and much more in both developed and developing countries.

For consumers, providers, payers, and investors in both developed and developing countries, new entrants from outside the traditional healthcare sector are changing the $9.59 trillion global healthcare market. To solve long-standing difficulties, these astute, entrepreneurial entrepreneurs are bringing consumer insight, creative business models, more affordable and convenient care alternatives, wellness and fitness, and more.

Traditional assumptions that a medical diagnosis can only be

made in a face-to-face encounter are being replaced by virtual care. New entrants are pioneering methods that eliminate healthcare barriers and enable care everywhere in both developed and developing countries.

Consumers are receptive, especially in emerging nations where access to high-quality healthcare is a major concern. For example, according to a recent survey of over 24,000 customers in 29 countries, developing markets are more likely than established markets to buy or use wearable gadgets, which can help consumers monitor their health and fitness.

Where urgent needs prevail, health solutions offered by new entrants can take root more quickly, especially in less regulated environments like those in emerging countries.

Consumers increasingly want their healthcare experiences to be as convenient and transparent as their banking, shopping, transit, and other purchases. A recent survey found that consumers said they were receptive to treatments provided by nontraditional health professionals, especially if they were less difficult or intrusive.

Filling the gaps between consumer expectations and current medical infrastructure presents several chances for new entrants with innovative ideas and talents to enter the global healthcare market.

The increasing global wellness and fitness sector—the money individuals spend on non-medical products and services to get and remain well—may be the most flexible entry point for entrepreneurs looking to disrupt the health industry without clashing with the government or established providers. In a recent poll, consumers expressed their increased hunger for wellness and fitness advantages through the usage of wearables, showing the market's tremendous potential.

There are a few rules in place to assist customers in taking care of themselves. New entrants are effectively offering services and goods such as fitness, weight loss, sleep and eating habits monitoring, and other similar services and products in order to better position themselves to penetrate the main healthcare market of health providers and payers.
