What types of commercial organisations operate in the healthtech space?
The healthtech landscape includes: Vendors (selling finished products like EPRs), Consultancies (advisory firms for strategy and implementation), Startups (early-stage, venture-funded companies with novel solutions), Cloud providers (infrastructure companies like AWS, Azure, GCP), System integrators (connecting and configuring multiple products), and Managed service providers (operating technology on behalf of healthcare organisations). Each operates differently — matching partner type to problem nature is essential for effective procurement.
