Technology for People shows the way to an exciting future where healthcare technology is designed by humans, for humans, to create positive change that can transform healthcare organisations and society.
Digital breakthroughs are enabling healthcare enterprises to improve labour productivity, clinical outcomes and human experiences. This unprecedented era of technology innovation is allowing clinicians and service workers to broadly apply their knowledge, freeing up more face time to spend delivering a human touch. And, as technology affords greater opportunities for self-management, it’s empowering people to consume healthcare on their own terms. It is no longer about what technology can do for people, it’s what people can do with technology.
The Accenture Digital Health Technology Vision 2017 explores five trends that underscore the importance of technology for people:
-
AI is the New UI
-
Ecosystem Power Plays
-
Workforce Marketplace
-
Design for Humans
-
The Uncharted
These trends demonstrate the fact that while technology is all around us, we are at the centre. When we adapt technology to the people that use it in healthcare—health insurers, providers and consumers—we will define the future of healthcare.

ABOUT THE RESEARCH
ABOUT THE RESEARCH
Every year, the Technology Vision team partners with Accenture Research to pinpoint the emerging IT developments that will have the greatest impact on companies, government agencies and other organisations in the next three to five years. These trends have significant impact across industries, and are actionable for businesses today.
The research process begins with gathering input from the Technology Vision External Advisory Board, a group comprising more than two dozen experienced individuals from the public and private sectors, academia, venture capital and entrepreneurial companies. In addition, the Technology Vision team conducts interviews with technology luminaries and industry experts, as well as nearly 100 Accenture business leaders from across the organisation.
A GLOBAL SURVEY OF 5,400+ BUSINESS AND IT EXECUTIVES
For the third year, we conducted a global survey of more than 5,400 business and IT executives in 31 countries to understand their perspectives on the impact of technology in business, and to identify their technology strategy and priority investments for the next few years. The survey was fielded from November 2016 through January 2017.
