Accelerating Your Healthcare SaaS Platform

As a startup founder, are you interested in building and scaling the next big Healthcare SaaS platform to solve some of the biggest healthcare challenges? Think no further. More investment will improve overall healthcare. In 2020, the COVID-19 crisis has impacted many industries; Digital Health funding has seen a tremendous increase with $5.4B at the end of H1 2020, beating the prior record of $4.2B H1 2019. Increasing healthcare costs for goods and services drives the need or demand for technology-enabled healthcare services across the spectrum of healthcare. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) model gains traction in healthcare to take advantage of low capital expenditure and a highly flexible operating expense model from some promising startups. More investment is needed to improve overall healthcare accessibility with technology and also reduce costs for healthcare. 

Healthcare institutions expect some essential benefits from the SaaS model: here are some questions to answer for prospective startup founders.

Plug and play: Is it possible to adapt the service with zero or low upfront costs?

Takeover: Is it possible to offload specific functions so that they can focus on strategic initiatives?

Security first: Can you prove that data security and privacy will be with absolute safeguards?

Regulations: Can you make sure that the implementation complies with regulations?
