SEA Health Tech Investment Insights

Health Tech is well positioned to solve these challenges. Technology can play a key role in delivering convenient, cost-effective, and high-quality treatment • • Convenience & Access: Technology and data can deliver the same convenience and cost savings found in other parts of the online economy, such as e-commerce. With telehealth, people in rural and other remote areas are now be able to receive an online diagnosis and access digital resources to address their needs. Cost Effective: Instead of visiting a clinic, a patient can talk to their doctor via a smartphone app, thus saving cost of travel and a day of paid work, which many travelling from remote areas must forego. High Quality: Technology can give access to higher and more standardized quality of healthcare. People often travelled for hours instead of visiting their local doctors because of the inadequacy of professional level and medical equipment available locally. • • • SEA's Readiness for Health Tech 69% 67% 48% 43% % Digital Penetration Indonesia Vietnam Thailand Philippines Rapidly Increasing # of Internet Users in SEA 260M 360M 2015 2019 Digital Penetration: Just over a decade ago, four in five Southeast Asians had limited to no Internet connectivity.
