The Caribbean medical sector is embracing digital transformation to enhance healthcare delivery. Telemedicine is becoming increasingly vital, especially for remote island communities, allowing for real-time consultations and diagnoses from afar. The adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) is streamlining patient data management, improving the efficiency and accuracy of care. Furthermore, initiatives in digital health education and mobile health applications are empowering individuals with better health management tools.

Despite these advancements, the sector faces significant hurdles. The digital divide remains a major issue, with varying levels of access to technology across different islands. Infrastructure limitations, both in terms of physical healthcare facilities and technological capabilities, pose another challenge. Moreover, there’s a pressing need for training healthcare professionals in new digital tools and technologies, while ensuring data privacy and security in digital health platforms.
