New Frontiers in HealthTech: Semantic Interoperability and the ability of different Healthcare systems to Exchange and Interpret data with Shared meaning
Semantic interoperability, the ability of different healthcare systems to exchange and interpret data with shared meaning, is indeed the next frontier in HealthTech. In today’s increasingly digital and interconnected healthcare landscape, the sheer volume and variety of data generated across disparate systems, from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and medical devices to wearables and remote monitoring platforms present both immense opportunities and significant challenges.
The Imperative of Semantic Interoperability
