Technology is changing the future of healthcare. Genomics and e-healthcare are shaking up antiquated health systems. VanEck’s Genomics ETF invests in the innovative companies harnessing scientific advances to develop breakthrough treatments and give patients more control over how they access care.
Through tracking the companies driving healthcare’s future, our Genomics ETF aims to generate returns for investors. Such is the nature of healthcare’s modernization that it also brings clear social benefits through improved medical care and wider access to treatments.
Gene therapies focus on modifying cells to treat serious diseases. They target the fundamental causes of disease, potentially enabling cures for rare and inherited diseases. They may also have applications for more common conditions. New clinical data is expanding genetic therapy pipelines.
E-healthcare is a broad term used to describe how digital technologies are being deployed to improve efficiencies across the healthcare sector. The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated e-healthcare’s development – especially as patients were allowed to speak to doctors by video links rather than visiting hospitals and running the risk of contagion. Growing support from governments and hospitals, as well as advances in technology, is accelerating e-healthcare’s growth.
