Galen Growth Asia has released its Q3 2019 Asia Pac HealthTech, aka digital health, ecosystem key trends interim report, which provides a checkpoint to bridge our mid-year and full year reports, each one powered by HealthTech Alpha.

The country’s health tech ecosystem is growing quickly.

GSK has set up a joint venture with Alphabet subsidiary, Verily. When the annals of this time are written, it may yet prove to be one of the most important corporate deals of the decade. The deal involves bioelectronics, truly wonderful technology that may treat conditions once thought untreatable; this may have profound implications for you, and me.

Healthcare delivery is poised for a radical change. The unparalleled ability to collect, mine, and analyse health data; the increasing sophistication of bio-sensors; and the exponential rise in the use of smartphones provide opportunities to reconsider how to efficiently provide healthcare solutions across the Asia-Pacific. Healthcare resources that were constructed to treat disease will need to evolve to take advantage of new technologies that can intervene early to prevent illness.

Singapore-based Fundnel Limited has entered into an partnership with BANSEA ONE, an investment vehicle formed by members of the Business Angel Network Southeast Asia (BANSEA), to boost early-stage investment in Singapore’s startup ecosystem. BANSEA ONE is a pioneer initiative backed by members of BANSEA, a leading association for the development of the angel investment community in Southeast Asia, and Fundnel, Asia’s first collaborative investment platform.

Mainland China’s inefficient medical system is spurring the growth of digital health care services that offer everything from online video consultations with doctors to home delivery of prescription medicines

Venture funding in healthcare globally reached a record $4.5 billion in 302 deals in 2015, a four fold increase since 2011. The pace seems slower when compared with the levels seen in 2014, which was about four per cent lower. Funding is likely to continue at a higher rate, says the Powering the Future of Healthcare in Asia Pacific report by Baker & McKenzie, a US-based law firm, in partnership with The Propell Group.

According to Baker & McKenzie’s report in partnership with The Propell Group titled, ‘Powering the Future of Healthcare in Asia Pacific’, China, India and Singapore are the hubs for healthtech startups.

China, India and Singapore have become hotbeds for healthtech startups in the region with most of them falling under the categories of 'Navigating the Healthcare System,' 'Patient Engagement' and 'Consumer Health and Wellness', the report said.

The last three years have seen a surge in healthtech startups in Asia Pacific, driven among others by a growing middle class affluence and health awareness, the need for chronic disease management and the growing demand for senior healthcare products and services.

How IoT is shaping the future of healthcare in Asia

Healthcare innovation through technology in Asia

Innovation in the employee benefits landscape is increasingly allowing companies to focus
their HR resources on improving health, productivity and engagement for employees and
their families alike.

“We are already seeing early stages of the disruption underway with new players like Oscar and Zenefits in the US and ConnexionsAsia in Asia,” says Mr de Salaberry. “It is not unrealistic to imagine a future where health insurance will be provided by new entrants able to access, manage, analyse and interpret the exponentially growing healthcare data to provide each one of us with a customised health insurance policy.”

If you are an insurance industry C-level or an IT professional trying to support your company, the headline above likely caught your attention just like it caught mine. And, while it is part of a promotion, for a book, iDisrupted, the point made by co-author Julien de Salaberry that, “Technology is set to disrupt the insurance business so much that it will be virtually unrecognizable within a few years,” is certainly food for thought.

Staying bullish on pharmaceuticals despite the medical advances looming in the future

Multinational companies are increasingly realizing the benefits of providing patient solutions via mobile health solutions and now they are also helping to fight non-communicable diseases in developing nations via mobile health initiatives.

Jana Healthcare says it can tap the hundreds of millions of mobile phone users in countries like Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam to get real-time data from patients using specific drugs, and establish a communication channel that leapfrogs traditional survey methods.

Venture funding globally for healthcare technologies reached a record $4.5 billion in 2015. This is quadruple the figures in 2011, but only up 4 percent from 2014, Baker & McKenzie reported.

The report, "Powering the Future of Healthcare in Asia-Pacific," said funding is likely to reach a phase of continued maturing in 2016.
