Emerging trends in Healthcare & Pharma Consulting

Aravind By  August 6, 2022

Hello everyone!

Today, let’s talk about something super important: how doctors, hospitals, and medicine companies are changing for the better. We call this Healthcare & Pharma Consulting. It’s like having smart friends who help these big companies grow and serve you better. And guess what? There are new, exciting ways things are changing right here in our own Tamil Nadu!

For many years, we have helped businesses in Tamil Nadu grow. We have seen firsthand how these changes bring good results. Let’s look at some cool new trends that are making a big difference.

Trend 1: Digital Doctors and Online Medicines (Digital Health & Telemedicine)

Imagine talking to a doctor without leaving your home! This is called telemedicine. It’s becoming very popular, especially after recent times.

How we’ve seen it work:

  • In a small village near Krishnagiri, many people found it hard to travel to big hospitals. We worked with a company called “Arokya Connect.” They created a simple app. Now, people can talk to doctors in Chennai through video calls. They get advice and even prescriptions. This has saved a lot of time and money for the villagers.
  • Also, buying medicines online (e-pharmacy) is growing fast. You can order medicines from your phone, and they get delivered to your doorstep, even in places like Coimbatore and Madurai. This makes getting important medicines much easier for everyone.

Trend 2: Smart Data and Robot Brains (Data Analytics & AI)

Doctors and hospitals now use a lot of information, like puzzle pieces, to understand diseases better. This is called Data Analytics. And AI (Artificial Intelligence) is like a super-smart computer brain that helps them figure things out faster.

How we’ve seen it work:

  • In Chennai, a hospital we advised started looking at old patient records and weather reports. Using smart data tools, they could guess when dengue fever might increase in certain areas. This helped them prepare better, stock more medicines, and even tell people to take precautions early. This saved many from getting sick!
  • Another example is how some medicine companies are using AI to find new medicines faster. They can test many ideas on computers instead of in labs, which saves years of work.

Trend 3: Getting Better, Not Just Getting Treated (Value-Based Care)

Earlier, hospitals often got paid for how many services they gave. Now, the focus is changing. They want to get paid for how well patients get better. This is called Value-Based Care.

How we’ve seen it work:

  • “Anbu Hospital” in Madurai, a client of ours, changed their approach for heart patients. Instead of just focusing on the number of surgeries, they started tracking how well patients recovered after surgery, how quickly they went back to normal life, and if they needed to come back to the hospital. By focusing on these good results, their patients were much happier and healthier in the long run.

Trend 4: Staying Healthy, Not Just Curing Sickness (Preventive Health & Wellness)

It’s always better to stop a problem before it starts, right? This is true for health too! More and more, the focus is on helping people stay healthy so they don’t get sick in the first place. This is Preventive Health.

How we’ve seen it work:

  • Many factories in Tiruppur have a lot of workers. We helped one factory, “Velan Garments,” set up a small wellness program. They offered free health check-ups, talks on healthy eating, and simple exercise tips. This helped their workers stay healthy, reduced sick leaves, and made them more productive. It was a win-win for everyone!
  • Local clinics in places like Salem are now offering special packages for regular check-ups, early detection of sugar or blood pressure issues, and advice on healthy living.

Trend 5: Smart Ways to Move Medicines (Smart Supply Chains)

Imagine getting medicines to every corner of Tamil Nadu quickly and safely. This needs a very smart system called a Supply Chain. New ways are making it super efficient.

How we’ve seen it work:

  • During a big vaccine drive, a pharma company we worked with faced a challenge: getting vaccines to remote areas in the Nilgiris hills without them spoiling. We helped them set up a “cold chain” system with special cool boxes and GPS trackers. This ensured every vaccine reached its destination in perfect condition, helping to protect many lives.
  • For everyday medicines, companies are using technology to track where every packet is, making sure there are enough medicines in every pharmacy in cities like Trichy and Erode, and reducing waste.

These are just a few examples of how Healthcare & Pharma Consulting is helping improve health services across Tamil Nadu. By using new ideas and technologies, we can build a healthier future for everyone.

If you’re a business owner, a marketer, or even someone who cares about health, understanding these trends can help you make better decisions. The future of health in our state is looking very bright!
