Abstract
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is transforming industries, including healthcare, by integrating digital, physical, and biological technologies. This study examines the integration of 4.0 technologies into healthcare, identifying success factors and challenges through interviews with 70 stakeholders from 33 countries. Healthcare is evolving significantly, with varied objectives across nations aiming to improve population health. The study explores stakeholders' perceptions on critical success factors, identifying challenges such as insufficiently trained personnel, organizational silos, and structural barriers to data exchange. Facilitators for integration include cost reduction initiatives and interoperability policies. Technologies like IoT, Big Data, AI, Machine Learning, and robotics enhance diagnostics, treatment precision, and real-time monitoring, reducing errors and optimizing resource utilization. Automation improves employee satisfaction and patient care, while Blockchain and telemedicine drive cost reductions. Successful integration requires skilled professionals and supportive policies, promising efficient resource use, lower error rates, and accelerated processes, leading to optimized global healthcare outcomes.
