Tech in Healthcare Overview

Like other industries, healthcare is grappling with the rise of generative AI. If integrated correctly, AI could provide immense benefits to the industry. For example, researchers could use the technology to help produce new drugs, while AI-powered chatbots could make things much easier for patients attempting to navigate a hospital’s customer service. In light of this, tech professionals skilled in machine learning and AI will have a distinct advantage when it comes to being hired, and organizations will pay top dollar (along with other benefits) for these professionals.

Organizations in healthcare are likewise hungry for data scientists and analysts who can crunch massive datasets for crucial insights into everything from patient outcomes to hospital spending. Tech professionals of every specialization potentially have a place in healthcare, given the industry’s size and incredible array of needs, including digital transformation for older hospital systems and drug-makers and the continued proliferation of healthcare startups. Like other, more established industries, employers and recruiters in healthcare have an opportunity to re-position the scope, stability and diversity of tech roles and skills for tech professionals; the industry has much to offer (especially relative to what tech professionals say they want) and has likely not been at the top of the list of attractive places for tech work.
