Modern Technology Injects More Flexibility into Healthcare Systems

NEW YORK, Jan. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The healthcare system has begun to implement some noteworthy changes to its infrastructure under the continued pressure from the pandemic. Various technological solutions, that before the pandemic were being slowly introduced into the system, have become more dominant in 2020. One such solution, telemedicine, is used in diverse sectors including cardiology, radiology, behavioral health, and others. After the pandemic subsides, many patients and other potential customers may prefer a virtual consultation option, as it reduces the cost of healthcare related services such as hospital stays and is also safer. This shift, in turn, could help give momentum to new healthcare business models in telemedicine. Overall, the global telemedicine market size is projected to reach USD 185.66 Billion by 2026 while exhibiting a CAGR of 23.5% during the forecast period of 2020 – 2026, according to data provided by Fortune Business Insights. Beyond Medical Technologies Inc. (CSE: DOCT), American Well Corporation (NYSE: AMWL), Change Healthcare Inc. (NASDAQ: CHNG), Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDRX), Evolent Health, Inc. (NYSE: EVH).

Technological changes are also expected to further transform service delivery and scale up the utilization of digital systems, which are key factors that are currently lacking within the healthcare industry. Data provided by a Price Waterhouse Cooper (PwC) report indicates that the health industry is betting that digital transformation will make the difference in delivery and cost. The health industry's appetite for data has grown beyond medical histories. To provide better and cheaper services healthcare, professional are now collecting genetic information, counting calories, steps, fertility cycles and how often we toss and turn at night. Across all industries surveyed by PwC, key obstacles to monetizing data include poor data reliability (34%), data protection and privacy regulations (33%), an inability to adequately protect and secure data (32%), and a lack of analytical talent (30%).

Beyond Medical Technologies Inc. (CSE: DOCT) just announced breaking news that, "that further to its news release dated January 14, 2021 announcing its letter of intent with Kayan Health Limited ("Kayan Health"), Kayan Health has launched a Virtual Medical 'Second Opinion' platform (the "Second Opinion Platform") as part of its suite of digital health products.

The Second Opinion Platform will be a peer-to-peer service that will match clinicians in the Caribbean with clinicians in the United States to review patient medical records. Physicians located in the Caribbean will be able to submit medical records, scans, and answer questions posed by clinicians in the United States, who will then provide a second opinion, which will result in patients in the Caribbean being able to make a more informed decision with respect to their diagnosis or proposed treatment.

The Second Opinion Platform will be executed in collaboration with one of Kayan Health's strategic partners, Black Pearl Global Investments. During the first phase of the Second Opinion Platform, three clinical specialties will be available:

• Pulmonary Medicine;
• Acute Critical Care/Emergency Intensive Care; and
• Mental Health.

Kayan Health believes the Second Opinion Platform will fill the void left in the medical tourism market as many patients are not able to travel due to COVID-19.
