Ayça Asena ÖzdemirZehra Alakoç Burma

Health significantly impacts an individual’s overall well-being, ability to sustain life, and life experience. The field of healthcare is currently undergoing a digital transformation, with innovations and advancements. Digitising patient records, eprescriptions, telehealth, and medical imaging technologies provide better healthcare services and more effective tools. The aim is to improve the early detection of diseases, optimize treatment processes, personalize treatment plans, and make healthcare more accessible. Innovations such as robotic surgery, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and gene editing make surgical interventions more precise and effective, while improving diagnosis and treatment processes. The process of drug development is accelerating, with promising approaches emerging for the treatment of genetic diseases, and the development of health technologies and service models. The widespread adoption of innovative solutions and transformations in the healthcare sector is aimed at positively impacting the outcomes of future health services. The article examines digital transformation and innovation in healthcare, analyzing time series data forTurkey’s global innovation indicators between 2018 and 2022 and forecasting values for 2023. The study investigates our rank in the world, innovation potential, positiveand negative indicators, and correlations between indicators for each measure. The results have significant importance in understanding and evaluating our country’s innovation performance and its contribution to digital transformation in healthcare, as well as the future innovation strategies. The aim of the study is to provide guidance for researching ways to transform our healthcare systems and provide more effective healthcare services.

Geleceğin Sağlık Hizmetleri için Sağlıkta Dijital Dönüşüm ve Inovasyon: 2018-2022 Yılları Arası Türkiye Inovasyon Indeksi Zaman Serileri Analizi

Ayça Asena ÖzdemirZehra Alakoç Burma

Sağlık, bireyin genel refahını, yaşamını sürdürme yeteneğini ve yaşam deneyimini büyük ölçüde etkiler. Günümüzde sağlık alanında da dijital dönüşüm ve inovasyonlar yaşanmaktadır. Hasta kayıtlarının dijitalleştirilmesi, e-reçete, tele-sağlık, tıbbi görüntüleme teknolojileri ile daha iyi hizmet sunma, daha etkili araçlar sağlama, hastalıkların erken teşhis edilmesi, tedavi süreçlerinin optimize edilmesi, tedavi planlarının kişiselleştirilmesi ve sağlık hizmetlerinin daha erişilebilir hale gelmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Robotik cerrahi, biyoteknoloji, yapay zekâ ve gen düzenleme gibi inovasyonlarla cerrahi müdahaleler daha hassas ve etkili hale gelmekte, tanı ve tedavi süreçleri iyileştirilmekte, ilaç geliştirme süreçleri hızlanmakta, genetik hastalık tedavilerinde umut verici yaklaşımların ortaya çıkması, sağlık teknolojileri ve hizmet modellerinin geliştirilmesi hedeflenmektedir. Sağlık alanındaki dönüşüm ve inovatif çözümlerin yaygınlaşması; gelecekteki sağlık hizmetlerinin sonuçlarını olumlu yönde etkileyecektir. Makalede, sağlıkta dijital dönüşüm ve inovasyon incelenmiş, Türkiye’nin 2018-2022 yılları arasındaki küresel inovasyon göstergelerinin zaman serileri analizi yapılmış ve 2023 yılı değerleri tahmin edilmiştir. Her gösterge için dünyadaki sıramız, inovasyon potansiyelimiz, iyi ve kötü olduğumuz göstergeler ve göstergelerin biribiri ile ilişkileri incelenmiştir. Çıkan sonuçlar; ülkemizin inovasyon performansını ve bunun sağlıkta dijital dönüşüme olan katkısı ve gelecekteki inovasyon stratejileri için sağlayabileceği etkilerini anlama ve değerlendirme açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı; ülkemizin sağlık sistemlerini dönüştürme ve daha etkili bir sağlık hizmeti sunma yollarının araştırılmasına rehber olacaktır.
