FREE WHITEPAPER
Future of Health in AI

The global AI healthcare market is projected to reach US$868 billion by 2030, yielding US$646 billion in cost savings and US$222 billion in revenue gains.

Australian organisations that delay AI adoption now face existential risk, as 85% of healthcare leaders are already exploring or implementing generative AI capabilities, with 64% of early implementers reporting positive returns on investment.

However, with 68% of Australian companies having integrated AI technologies and a healthcare system already focused on prevention and population health, the nation has the foundation to become a global exemplar of intelligent healthcare delivery.
