Burnout across all industries has reached pandemic levels with healthcare being the hardest hit. The economic ramifications are massive with physician and nurse burnout at an all-time high leading to chronic shortages of healthcare providers. We are past the tipping point with 50% of all healthcare professionals experiencing burnout and 22% wanting to leave the field. This problem impacts not only healthcare workers and patients but also threatens the fundamental sustainability of our hospital system. According to a BDO survey, 71% of hospital CFOs cite physician and nursing departure from the workforce and consequent shortages as a top financial threat to hospitals.

The industry that raised the most amount of funding in 2024 is healthcare AI and biotech. Companies in that sector raised $15.7 billion, or 24% of all global funding, in Q1. But despite the positive signals from healthcare AI and biotech recent public market activity, many investors are still risk off as they continue to adjust to portfolio liquidity shortfalls from 2022.
