Seeding the Future: Exploring Innovation and Absorptive Capacity in Healthcare 4.0 and HealthTech
Abstract
The healthcare sector is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by innovations in digital health, artificial intelligence, and the rise of HealthTech solutions. This study explores how Healthcare 4.0 is reshaping patient care, management, and medical research through technological advancements, focusing on innovations such as telemedicine, electronic health records (EHRs), AI-powered diagnostics, and personalized treatments. The concept of absorptive capacity, which refers to an organization's ability to recognize, assimilate, and apply new knowledge, is critical in determining how healthcare organizations adapt to and integrate these innovations. By examining how healthcare systems leverage emerging technologies to enhance service delivery, the study highlights the challenges and opportunities healthcare providers face in adopting new technologies. This research underscores the importance of fostering innovation, improving absorptive capacity, and embracing a collaborative ecosystem to ensure that Healthcare 4.0 can deliver sustainable improvements in patient outcomes and operational efficiency.
