Empowering Healthcare

through Digital Technology

Anindito Kusumojati, ST. MSc.
 What will be the future of Healthcare
system?
1. Future cross-section between engineering and medicine
2. The contribution of engineering skills to medical sciences and practices
3. After 10 years, how will the hospital look like?

The healthcare industry is continually
evolving
Challenges
1. Ageing population
2. Chronic diseases prevalence
3. Life quality improvement
The healthcare industry is continually
evolving
Healthcare industry, between dynamics and opportunities

• Financial Burden > Income

• Competition and Shifting in Structure of Industry
• Room of Improvement
As Biomedical Engineer
 Clinicians vs Engineer

Clinicians Engineers
1. Trained to handle uncertainties 1. Education emphasis on physical laws
2. Trained to act to unexpected events 2. Trained in finding solutions to well defined, complex
problems
3. Used to tools having several limitations
3. Search for optimal solutions
4. Search for quick practical solutions
Approaches in Technology
Technologically driven:
Engineer designs prototype without good evaluation of real surgical
problems.
Technology ‘push’

Clinically driven:
Engineer starts with observing entire operation process.
Discussions with clinicians, questionnaires and time-action analysis are
used to asses the real problems.
Clinical ‘pull’
 Challenge?

What should we do?
