Vik and Jimmy focus on digital health and end-to-end monitoring of applications in this episode of This Week in Health Tech.
Vik talks about strategy for digital transformation: managing digital apps, integrating digital apps, and supporting digital apps on an ongoing basis.
Vik also mentions that healthcare organizations have requested not only automated monitoring but also 24/7 support to go along with the monitoring subscription.  Jimmy inquires about the 24/7 support and if it is actually supported by human support staff. Vik confirms that support is actual trained application and integration support team. But the support team is kept updated proactively about any issues using automated end-to-end monitoring.
The automated monitoring is not true AI, but it is still using algorithms that are tweaked constantly by the monitoring team to enhance the solution and trigger notifications for issues without relying on users.
Jimmy asks what would stop an organization from getting this end to end monitoring solution? Is it budget, processes, etc? Vik answers that all CIOs he has discussed this solution agree that it would really help the organization and keep IT helpdesk informed of issues proactively. But the main obstacle from purchasing this is budget and justifying such a new solution versus the more traditional projects that are on the books. Even though it is quite evident that the solution has huge ROI benefits by not relying on clinical professionals having to deal w/ issues. However most organization do not keep track of how much time clinicians spend on dealing w/ issues, so the actual calculation of ROI is based on estimates. This is where it becomes a bit of a struggle for CIOs to justify purchasing this solution to the healthcare CFO.
Again, healthcare will adopt automated applications monitoring just like security and infrastructure monitoring, but it may take some time as it always done in healthcare.
