AVASANT ANALYST INSIGHTS
Practice Maturity
- Accenture’s health practice generates a significant amount of revenue for the company (approx. USD 2.3B or 6% of total company revenue) and is growing steadily due to its solutions and expertise in EHRs, cloud, AI, ML, cybersecurity and other technologies. Its presence in North America is strong – partly stemming from the acquisition of Capgemini’s North American practice in 2005 – and is currently driving overall practice growth.
- It offers a range of innovation-led solutions and services to leading payors, health systems and public health organizations around digital health, operational transformation, consumer experience and high-impact consulting. Its healthcare consulting offerings play an important role in helping companies accelerate their transformation by focusing on the implementation of new industry platforms, organizational agility, enhanced customer experiences, legacy modernization, and back-office transformation leveraging analytics, automation and AI.
- To enhance its Intelligent Patient Platform toward improving a patient’s engagement throughout their entire healthcare experience, It has recently introduced AI-driven virtual care assistants – Ella (for patients) and Ethan (for providers). These solutions are expected to boost Accenture’s digital health revenues in the short-term as healthcare organizations increase their adoption of AI/ML-based technologies.
Investments and Innovation
- Accenture is strongly committed to R&D through its labs (for incubating and prototyping), Liquid Studios (for solution development), innovation centers (for client demonstrations), and delivery centers. It recently built a VR solution to provide amputees with more therapy options at its liquid studio for SAP Leonardo in Brazil. The solution has been in testing phase at Hospital das Clinicas in São Paulo, Brazil.

- It also demonstrates a strong commitment to innovation through start-ups. With Accenture Ventures, it identifies partnership and investment opportunities. It partnered with Rock Health to help fund and support healthtech entrepreneurs and engaged 2,000+ health start-ups since the inception of its Healthtech Innovation Challenge in 2016.
