Cloud computing holds immense importance in healthcare and life sciences due to its transformative impact on data management, collaboration, and innovation. Its adoption enables healthcare providers to deliver high-quality, cost-effective care while driving advancements in medical research and patient care. The global healthcare cloud computing market size is expected to grow at 20.3% from 2024 to 2030 CAGR while the healthcare cloud computing market size which is estimated at USD 10.1 billion, is growing at 11.8% CAGR. Healthcare providers need to process large volumes of multiformat data while maintaining high availability and uptime. The digital world that we live in, also forces them to share access to this bulk data with multiple stakeholders in different locations, at the same time. Hence scalability and collaboration are fundamental drivers in leveraging cloud computing for healthcare and life sciences, enabling healthcare providers to meet evolving demands, enhance efficiency, and drive innovation.
Leveraging cloud computing for scalability
Cloud computing technology has been widely adopted in the healthcare and life sciences industry, where about 90% of all organizations use some or the other form of cloud computing. 30% of companies reported that “scalability” is a major goal and reason for them to adopt cloud platforms. Cloud computing enables healthcare organizations to scale their data analysis infrastructure on demand. With the ability to quickly and easily expand computing resources, healthcare providers can handle large amounts of data without worrying about capacity limitations.
Leveraging cloud computing for collaboration
Healthcare and life sciences are an increasingly data-intensive and collaborative endeavor and cloud computing seems a viable solution to fulfill these demands. Collaboration over the cloud between multiple stakeholders in healthcare and life sciences iis very important to improve the quality of service to provide proper and fast treatment to patients and mutual benefits to collaborate within health organizations.
Synergies between scalability & collaboration
Collaborative tools, such as communication platforms, document sharing systems, and project management software, enable healthcare teams to collaborate effectively across geographies and specialties. Scalable healthcare applications leverage cloud-based collaboration tools to streamline workflows, improve care coordination, and enhance patient engagement. These tools enable real-time communication, secure data sharing, and seamless collaboration among healthcare providers, enabling them to deliver high-quality care efficiently. A report found that 62% of healthcare organizations are investing in decentralized data management strategies to improve data interoperability and collaboration. Decentralized data management strategies, such as blockchain and distributed ledger technology, enable secure and transparent collaboration by providing a shared, immutable record of healthcare transactions. Scalable and collaborative healthcare systems empower patients to actively participate in their care journey, facilitating shared decision-making, remote monitoring, and personalized treatment plans.
Real-time applications of cloud computing to achieve scalability & collaboration
There are 3 main domains where we see a major impact in healthcare and life sciences when it comes to applying cloud computing.
