In our research, we sought the opinions of over 2,000 patients and 200 doctors, split across the US and UK. The research focused on six key areas:
- Patient trust
- Patient influence
- Patient confidence
- Patient concerns
- The role of medical devices
- Healthcare in 2030
Here are just some of the interesting findings:
– Patient Trust:
– Patient influence:
– Patient confidence:
– The role of medical devices:
– Healthcare in 2030:
The results of our survey highlight the fragmented needs of patients. There is clearly a sophisticated group of people who want more involvement, more responsibility for managing their health and more influence over their medication, but this isn’t a trend that can be applied to all.
As we look to the future, 2030 in particular, we (the industry and healthcare providers/professionals) need to think about how we can offer the right healthcare for patients but in a way that makes commercial sense. There is no silver bullet and the results of our survey support this. There is a real driver to reduce the cost of healthcare, which will no doubt involve more patients taking more responsibility, and we need to look at how we can reduce the physical and cognitive burdens that could prohibit this behaviour.
