The World Health Organization predicts a shortage of 10 million healthcare workers by 2030. HeraMED’s platform supports remote management of maternity patients, while Optiscan’s platform has the potential to alleviate the pathologist shortage in Australia and worldwide.
The World Health Organization (WHO) projects a shortage of 10 million health workers by 2030, primarily in low- and middle-income countries, with challenges affecting nations at all economic levels.
Factors such as underinvestment in healthcare worker education, a mismatch between training and system needs, and difficulty deploying workers to underserved areas are contributing to the shortage. In Australia, over 80% of health professional roles were reported as in shortage in 2023.
As global healthcare systems face increasing pressure, digital solutions are emerging to alleviate the burden, with ASX companies developing tools like remote maternity monitoring, digital pathology, and diagnostic tools for conditions like ADHD and autism.
