While most of the available health care diagnostics that use artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are extraordinarily powerful, the adoption of these algorithms has been slow because results are difficult to verify, and they also do not include explanations of why a patient has a certain disease or disorder. However, a new type of algorithm called “explainable AI” (XAI) can be easily understood by humans. As a result, XAI is being increasingly relevant in healthcare, making it more likely that healthcare providers will actually use the associated diagnostics.

Technology is disrupting healthcare just as it has in so many other areas of life. New players and new approaches are proliferating but while the changes may seem dazzlingly diverse there is a single, underlying driving force. Digital transformation in healthcare has many elements: health data privacy, ethical AI, IOT solutions, many brought to the market by new disruptors. These are all valuable elements of transformation, but ultimately they are steering to a single goal; empathetic care of the empowered patient.

In the first half of 2019, the total new money entering the Asia Pacific HealthTech sector was US$2.5 billion across 140 deals. And the second quarter of 2019 was the 8th consecutive $1 billion or more quarter for HealthTech in Asia. While the number of deals is going down, the individual deals are getting larger and more likely to be in later-stage companies (Galen Growth Asia 2019 Half Year Asia HealthTech Landscape report).
