The HealthTech industry is on fire right now as companies seeking to bolster their research efforts are increasing their M&A activity in the sector, Deloitte reports. For investors, this means good news. The sector not only grew throughout the pandemic, but it continues to grow at a frenzied clip, providing sizeable returns on carefully planned investments.
This is because of how the pandemic proved to be a crucial litmus test for every industry, but especially for the healthcare sector. Hospitals, independent general practitioners, and the industries that support them all had to rise to meet the surging demand brought about by the virus. Simultaneously, healthcare providers needed to make a pivot to a more remote, data-driven, secure, business model.
Enter: HealthTech. Before Covid, certain in-person interactions between doctors and their patients, or patients and staff needed to be conducted in person. But as social distancing and stay-at-home orders went into effect, regulations were loosened and new compliance measures were enacted in order to ensure HIPAA compliance under the new working models. Back then, things needed to change, and fast—companies that could provide solutions in time stood to flourish in the aftermath.
As healthcare practitioners scrambled to meet these new standards while incorporating new technology, partners worked tirelessly to meet new enterprise-level demands around data compliance, traceability, and customer service.
As a HealthTech provider, Source Meridian rose above and beyond partner expectations during the public health crisis to provide their customers with early access to the cutting-edge technology they needed in order to create and maintain their competitive advantage in the marketplace.
It’s staff of international software engineers and data scientists did this by leveraging state-of-the-art technology to analyze client content models and business processes in order to build new products and unlock new revenue streams, even during a period of constant flux.
Source Meridian’s innovative big data and analytics solutions work to allow companies in the healthcare and life sciences industries the ability to move across the industry landscape with agility and accuracy. Despite a constantly shifting patchwork of regulatory and compliance statutes during the pandemic, they provided solutions that allowed providers to give the highest level of care to their patients. Building on the lessons they learned in the past two years, Source Meridian has honed its four key practice areas to meet continued client demand. These include:
