Healthcare Industry Trends - Healthcare is being reshaped by technology, data, and smart machines, attracting billion-dollar investments [1] - The healthcare technology industry is expected to grow to over $200 billion globally by 2030 [15] - AI diagnostics, digital health startups, and wearable technology are receiving significant investment [15] Human Connection in Healthcare - The most important part of healthcare is the doctor's attention, the patient's trust, and the human connection [3] - Doctors' presence is a choice that defines good healthcare [9] - Presence can become a luxury in technology-advanced hospitals [12] - Human connection in healthcare is not just part of the process, it is the process [13] Healthcare Workforce Challenges - Up to 50% of doctors report symptoms of chronic stress, yet less than 5% of healthcare investment supports the workforce [16] - Doctor salaries have fallen even as demands on them grow, leading to burnout [16] - The industry risks creating a future of medicine that is precise, efficient, and profoundly disconnected if it neglects the humans who use the machines [19] Investment and Focus - The industry should invest in time and people, not just tools and buildings [20] - Healthcare systems should protect the doctor's attention as fiercely as they protect patient data [20]
