Administrative Systems and Cost Transparency
Administrative Systems and Cost Transparency group is the backbone of the healthcare delivery. It contains digital information and communication systems technology applied to administrative processes. It is crucial to all levels – the patient, the physician, the healthcare organization and society.

Real-time Healthcare
Real time health monitoring technological solutions enable monitoring from the patient’s home. This technology addresses the healthcare systems’ pressure to reduce risks, hospitalizations, and readmissions. Its fast adoption is driven by mobile technology, simplicity of use, and the ability to share information between multiple stakeholders.
Pharmaceutical Discovery, Development & Deployment
Digital health R&D solutions address multiple issues across the spectrum of the drug discovery and deployment processes. These technologies also enable the phenotyping of patient population and, in some cases, play a crucial role in evidence-based clinical research competing with the standard molecular biomarkers.
