The Digital Health Revolution and Its Bandwidth Demand
The use of technology in healthcare is rapidly accelerating. By 2025, the total digital health market is projected to grow 13 percent from where it was in 2017. Primary drivers for this growth include value-based care and regulatory requirements that favor transparency and digitalization, as well as an increase in the use of technology to improve efficiency.
However, these digital applications and machine-to-machine (M2M) connections are generating large amounts of data. Currently, the healthcare system generates approximately a zettabyte (a trillion gigabytes) of data annually, and this amount is doubling every two years. While this data is useful for improving care and enabling additional operational efficiencies, the accelerated pace of technology innovation, data acquisition and the adoption of these network-reliant technologies is significantly impacting healthcare IT and bandwidth demands.
The reality is that bandwidth demand is increasing and will only continue to grow. As healthcare organizations look to implement telehealth solutions, support big data and digital innovation, appropriate planning across the entire healthcare IT infrastructure is necessary. This white paper takes a look at the seven top bandwidth drivers in healthcare today and their impact on bandwidth demands.
