AI & Cloud-Based Services — Popular in Healthcare

AI and cloud-based computing are being used ubiquitously by U.S. healthcare companies. AI provides the industry with robotics, IoT (Internet of Things) and 3D printing.

Meanwhile, cloud-based applications are cost effective and help streamline operations through the use of electronic health records, electronic medical records and predictive analytics.

Some other bigwigs that offer cloud-based healthcare services are Cerner Corporation CERN and athenahealth ATHN. Cerner’s HealtheIntent and athenahealth’s cloud-based big data network athenaNet deserve a special mention here.

Market Prospects

BCC Research says that the global market for cloud technologies in healthcare is expected to reach $35 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 11.6%.

Despite bright market prospects, we believe Veeva Systems is likely to face intense competition from HMS Holdings Corp HMSY, which is a leading provider of data services to the U.S. healthcare industry.
