PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to highlight the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the healthcare industry through the Ayushman Bharat health protection scheme by analyzing various technologies being integrated to improve the customer service and experiences in India. The key focus lies on the understanding of the influence of AI in the healthcare system services, the clinical treatment, and the facilities to progress with accurate and precise health screening in India.Design/methodology/approachA systematic study on the emerging technologies of AI and the applications in the healthcare sector is presented in the form of a viewpoint.FindingsAI certainly enhances experiential services; however, it cannot surpass the human touch which is an essential determinant of experiential healthcare services. AI acts as an effective complementary dimension to the future of healthcare.Originality/valueThis viewpoint discusses the applications and role of AI with the help of relevant examples. It highlights the different technologies being applied and how they will be used in the future focusing upon the Ayushman Bharat health protection scheme in India.

Over the last few years, there has been a blossoming of developing mobile healthcare programs. Bluetooth technology, which has the advantages of being low-power and inexpensive, whilst being able to transfer moderate amounts of data over a versatile, robust and secure radio link, has been widely applied in mobile healthcare as a replacement for cables. This paper discussed the applications of Bluetooth technology in healthcare. It started with the brief description of the history of Bluetooth technology, its technical characteristics, and the latest developments. Then the applications of Bluetooth technology in healthcare sector were reviewed. The applications are based on two basic types of links of Bluetooth technology: point-to-point link and point-to-multipoint link. The special requirements from healthcare and the challenges of successful application of Bluetooth in healthcare will be discussed. At last the future development of Bluetooth technology and its impacts on healthcare were envisioned.

Abstract Background: Despite growing support for the private sector involvement in the provision of public health services in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), a lack of clear information on the future of the provision of such services restricts the ability of policy-makers to assess how feasible integration between public and private actors may be, especially in LMICs.Methods: This paper presents a structured literature review performed to comprehend the dynamics and boundaries of public-private partnerships for the healthcare sector in LMICs. A total of 723 articles indexed in Scopus were initially submitted to bibliometric analysis. Finally, 148 articles published in several academic journals were selected for independent full-text review by two researchers. Content analysis was made in order to minimise mistakes in interpreting the findings of studies in the sample.Results: Public-private partnerships identified through the content analysis were categorised into four research areas: 1) Transfer of resources; 2) Co-production of goods, services and health practices; 3) Governance networks; 4) Criteria for successful partnership development. The results provide a useful overview of the phenomenon and a useful baseline for policy implications of evolution of partnerships in LMIC healthcare sectors.Conclusions: The structured literature Review thus carries out a mapping of the areas and sectors where governments need support, and a careful analysis of all those factors which may or not facilitate a public-private partnership in LMICs.

PurposePublic–private joint ventures (PPJVs) have a stronger partnership element than standard public–private partnerships (PPPs) but PPJVs are under-researched despite this important partnership element. This article derives knowledge of incentives and barriers to goal alignment in healthcare PPJVs.Design/methodology/approachAn in-depth case study of the UK’s Local Improvement Finance Trust (LIFT) model including three PPJVs and 34 individual projects was conducted.FindingsThe main economic incentives are future opportunities creating a strong shadow of the future. This is supplemented by social incentives such as the ability to have a social impact. Enlarging the shadow of the future can encourage both parties to think long-term, avoiding short-term opportunism.Practical implicationsPPJV is a promising model for partnership. However, complexity through fragmented public sector partners and the financial structure can create barriers for goal alignment.Originality/valueThis study challenges earlier research studies based on PPJV by providing evidence that the long-term nature of PPJV, especially the potential of new projects, enables the public sector to get more engagement from the private sector.

Globally, the pandemic has affected management of risks. Progressively Blockchain is being applicable over the management of healthcare, as an imperative method for improving organizationalprotocols and for providing the convenient support for a productive and efficient decision-making process hinge on facts. In healthcare, different approaches to emergency preparedness can be recognized; indeed, each emergency is distinguished by different stages. In healthcare, we intend to role: explicitly, it will be responsible to enhance COVID19-safe clinical proceeding. The primary approaches obtainable from various blockchain-based models, and distinctly those associated by clinical individuals in the future throughout the current COVID-19 pandemic either on the would be capable to perform an outstanding assumption of furthermore infectious conditions. We believe that in real infectious disease outbreaks, blockchain technology undertaking, have been documented here and part in the future.

COVID-19 pandemic has long-lasting impact in social, personal, and economic area globally. When we think of the economic recovery of India in the future, we face the challenge of moving forward more sustainably. An international NGO ARUP had published a worldwide report named ‘Health.Care.Without.Harm’; mentioning that only healthcare sector itself is accountable for about 4.4 percent of universal net emissions. The present study, therefore, highlights the vulnerabilities in the linear economy and how the pandemic crisis challenges the linear economy and provide opportunity to uptake circular practices and sustainable development within India’s healthcare economy. The paper outlines the recommendations on the circular economy by suggesting policy and market-driven solutions for the healthcare sector’s sustainability.

UNSTRUCTURED Technological advancement has brought about a revolution in every sector in the world. The Healthcare sector is one of the most essential sectors and is still far behind especially in developing countries. With the help of 5G, connected healthcare is the future. Countries like India can be a great model for the rest of the world with the connected healthcare services. As the majority of the population still resides in a rural area, this will help save more lives. This will be economical to build multispecialty hospitals in every village in India will be very expensive. Together we can build a powerfully connected healthcare India.

Planning for capital development of public hospitals in Victoria is guided by a multi-stage process with comprehensive data analysis and thorough approval processes at each of the stages. The long development timeframes and the limitations in the data available to project service utilisation may negatively impact upon the service planning processes, and in some cases newly developed hospitals have not been sufficiently planned to meet community needs. This paper suggests that service utilisation forecasts derived from administrative databases require a more detailed verification process than currently exists. The process requires consideration of the drivers of demand to document the core assumptions about the future drivers, benchmarks with other jurisdictions, epidemiological, comparative and corporate needs assessment to explain the differences in utilisation rates, and sensitivity analysis. Given the cost of hospital construction and the rate of change in the healthcare sector, it is important that future hospital planning processes do not accept current utilisation trends as valid for future planning without this level of verification.
