Novel partnerships with consumer tech to transform care delivery
与消费科技公司建立新的合作伙伴关系，以改变护理服务
Medtech companies are well-positioned to drive the future of health, but most cannot do it alone. They should instead partner with consumer technology and specialized digital health companies to meet the changing market.
医疗技术公司完全有能力推动健康的未来，但大多数公司不能独自做到这一点。相反，他们应该与消费者技术和专业数字医疗公司合作，以适应不断变化的市场。
THE future of health is expected to be driven by an omnipresent, proactive, and integrated system of health and well-being where transformational technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cloud storage, augmented and virtual reality, and so on) are poised to play a huge role.
健康的未来预计将由一个无所不在、积极主动和综合的健康和福祉系统驱动，在这个系统中，变革性技术（如人工智能、量子计算、云存储、增强和虚拟现实等）将发挥巨大作用。
When it comes to medtech, we expect medical devices to meld hardware and software to allow customers to diagnose and perhaps even treat medical conditions at home. And as health care’s focus moves toward prevention instead of treatment, the future devices may alert care teams about potential health issues before they become symptomatic through always-on sensors. As medtech companies’ business models are likely to change dramatically, they should consider collaborating with technology companies to address the increasingly changing needs and expectations of consumers.
说到医疗技术，我们希望医疗设备能够融合硬件和软件，让客户能够诊断甚至治疗家里的医疗状况。随着医疗保健的重点转向预防而不是治疗，未来的设备可能会在潜在的健康问题通过始终在线的传感器出现症状之前提醒医疗团队。由于医疗科技公司的商业模式可能会发生巨大变化，他们应该考虑与科技公司合作，以满足消费者日益变化的需求和期望。
To find out what the medtech company of the future will look like (and more), the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions conducted a crowdsourcing simulation with experts across digital health startups, medtech companies, technology companies, health plans, health systems, and research institutions.
为了了解未来的医疗科技公司将是什么样子（以及更多），德勤医疗解决方案中心与数字医疗初创公司、医疗科技公司、技术公司、医疗计划、医疗系统和研究机构的专家进行了一次众包模拟。
One finding from our research is that medtech companies could differentiate themselves through their ability to harness data gathered by their devices and use it to improve well-being, anticipate health issues, and help patients change the day-to-day behaviors that affect their health. In many ways, the data collected from hardware is expected to be more valuable than the hardware itself. Medtech companies, which have traditionally focused on developing hardware (e.g., surgical equipment, joint replacements, diagnostic equipment, infusion pumps, pacemakers, etc.), might have to shift their focus to software, data collection, and data analysis.
我们研究的一个发现是，医疗技术公司可以通过利用其设备收集的数据并将其用于改善健康状况、预测健康问题和帮助患者改变影响其健康的日常行为的能力，使自己与众不同。在许多方面，从硬件收集的数据预计比硬件本身更有价值。传统上专注于开发硬件（如手术设备、关节置换、诊断设备、输液泵、起搏器等）的医疗技术公司可能不得不将注意力转移到软件、数据收集和数据分析上。
