Signal: despite hirings cooldown, growth in healthtech seems inevitable

Among the recent developments in the healthcare technology (healthtech) industry have been the acquisition by remote care management company MD Revolution of NavCare, another provider in the space, and the introduction of digital consultations by Amazon Clinic across the US, with message-based consultations in 34 states.

These moves reflect the industry’s growth and are complemented in this way by an increase in job opportunities within the sector. GlobalData research shows that active job listings in healthtech globally are up 28% year on year at the start of August. This is despite July seeing a drop in active listings from a high of around 66,000 to 53,000, based on the listings GlobalData has identified.
