Provision of better, low-cost healthcare through digitalisation

 

Digitalisation is set to transform global healthcare by capitalising on the key themes of prevention, efficiency and connected care. Companies embracing this digitalisation trend will offer better potential outcomes for patients with compelling long-term growth opportunities for investors. 

healthcare – ripe for digital revolution.

Today’s healthcare system is expensive, hospital-centred, inefficient and weighed down by an ageing population. Healthcare is currently the least digitalised sector and is, therefore, ripe for a digital revolution that may lower costs and increase access for all.

healthcare transformation – 3 key themes.

medTech going mainstream.

Measuring health conditions is no longer the exclusive remit of the doctor or hospital. Consumer products are making inroads into this space, providing health-monitoring tools and medical devices.

Several MedTech (medical technology) companies are now crossing over to the consumer side, with products becoming more widely available and commonplace. For example, quantified-self devices such as smart watches are being used to measure vital signs like heart rhythm and oxygen levels within the blood – technology more commonly used in emergency rooms around the world to monitor patients.

Such devices also have the capacity to warn about abnormal heart rates, detect falls, do electrocardiogram (ECG) readings and track blood oxygen levels. These functionalities can detect conditions such as atrial fibrillation and monitor diseases like Parkinson’s. Some smartwatches have gained FDA approval, making the leap from consumer gadgets to official medical devices.

Meanwhile, the storage of electronic health records (EHR) on smartphones will enable the centralisation of all health data in one place instead of having incomplete files spread across different providers, payers and suppliers.

why us?

our strategy.

Our Global HealthTech focuses on companies digitalising the healthcare sector to make it more efficient, connected and focused on prevention.

An active portfolio of around 40-60 well-diversified stocks is selected, following a disciplined analysis focused on their financial track record and business practices, and a forward-looking assessment of the sustainability of their business models and valuation.

Holdings are diversified across four key areas:
