PHOM 2024 Talk detailsBy 2030, around one in four citizens (24%), will be aged 65 and above. This is expected to drive up demand for healthcare services, which is provided via a spectrum of diverse processes in the hospital. However, this also means that our workforce is also aging, and it will not be sustainable to continue working in the current concept of operations if we want to improve productive longevity. By leveraging emerging technologies to transform the process of healthcare delivery, our healthcare professionals can focus on the skills they have been trained and the human touch.
