The Tech for GoodOpportunities Index Key global hotspots for tech-ready healthcare real assets Designing for Innovation: Making Healthcare Real Estate Tech-Ready RYAN RICHARDSASSOCIATE,HEALTHCARE INSIGHT LILY NGUYENASSOCIATE, DATA &ANALYTICS INSIGHT To ease the burden and improvecare delivery, many providers areturning to technology. Telehealth,smart sensors, AI-assisteddiagnostics and digital care platformsoffer new ways to deliver faster, morepersonalised and connected care.Crucially, these innovations are alsochanging the physical environmentin which care takes place. dynamic, tech-enabled model ofcare. Spaces must now supportconstant digital interaction, flexibleuse and a robust digital backbone– including strong connectivity,secure power, layout adaptability andcybersecurity infrastructure. WHY DOES HEALTHCARE REALESTATE NEED TO CHANGE? Healthcare systems worldwide arefacing mounting pressures: ageingpopulations, stretched budgets,workforce shortages and growingpatient demand. These challengesaffect the full spectrum of facilities -from hospitals and GP surgeries to carehomes, mental health units and specialeducation settings. As pressure grows,space, staff and funding remain limited. For landlords, investors anddevelopers, this shift represents both achallenge and a growing opportunity. Traditional, single-purposefacilities are no longer fit for this What makes a healthcare building tech-ready?The Checklist Key features investors, developers and landlords should look for – or plan to deliver. Sustainability &ESG alignment Cybersecurityby design Flexiblelayouts Smartsystems Connectedinfrastructure Automated lighting,air, energy and safetysystems thatadapt in real time toclinical needs. The digital backbone– secure internet,resilient power and datasystems that talk toeach other. Spaces designed toadapt – from roboticsurgery today tovirtual care tomorrow. Built-in protectionfor patient data andcritical systems – bothdigital and physical. Low-carbon, inclusiveand compliant – builtfor long-term value andregulatory confidence. “Healthcare systemsworldwide are facingmounting pressures: ageingpopulations, stretchedbudgets, workforceshortages and growingpatient demand.” MARK GROSS PARTNER, HEAD OF PRIVATE EQUITY – DOWNING Technology adoption in healthcarereal estate has been slow due tomarket fragmentation, limited capitaland other operational pressures fromstaffing to the complexity of regulatorycompliance. Many operators lack thebandwidth or confidence to implementchange, often waiting for larger peersto lead. But momentum is building.For some, finding efficiencies is now a matter of survival. A youngerworkforce increasingly expect andprefer digital tools like electronicrotas and care plans. Regulatorsare becoming more accepting ofdigital evidence, proven solutions areemerging and institutional investorsand consolidating operators arebringing the capability and urgency todrive real transformation. WHY TECH-READINESS MATTERSFOR REAL ESTATE As healthcare becomes increasinglydigital, demand is shifting decisivelytowards buildings that can supportconnected care. Occupiers areprioritising properties equippedfor telehealth, virtual diagnostics,smart systems and seamless digitalworkflows – and many are willing topay a premium for spaces that deliver.Tech-ready facilities tend There is also a human dimension.New technology only works whenpeople are ready and willing to use it –poorly implemented tools or those notaligned with clinical workflows riskbeing underused or resisted. Adoptiontakes time, and success depends asmuch on culture and training. RISKS AND REALITIES: BARRIERSTO TECH ADOPTION While the potential is clear, deliveringtech-enabled care environments isnot without obstacles. to attract stronger tenants,command longer leases and offergreater resilience. Buildings withintegrated connectivity and digitalinfrastructure – so-called “plug-and-play” spaces – enable faster setup,fewer delays and smoother operationsfor healthcare providers. In many markets, infrastructureremains fragmented. Records maybe siloed, devices may not connectand data struggles to movebetween teams, systems or sites.Interoperability remains an ambitionmore than a reality. Finally, what happens outsidethe building matters, too. Nationalinfrastructure, regulation and policyall shape whether technologiescan function at scale. For example,Norway’s success with telehealthdidn’t come from facilities alone –sustained reforms in interoperabilityand reimbursement supported it. Cost is another major constraint.Upgrading legacy systems, trainingstaff and maintaining secure digitalinfrastructure all require sustainedinvestment – something that is oftenin short supply, particularly in thepublic sector. Even when fundingis available, installation can bedisruptive, especially in liveclinical settings where downtimeis not an option.Cybersecurity adds further They also deliver operationalupside.
