Digital and AI skills in health occupations

This paper explores the impact of digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) on health occupations across OECD countries, focusing on how these innovations can support health workers amid rising demand for healthcare services.

The study analyses nearly 55.5 million online job postings (OJPs) from Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States, tracking the demand for digital and AI skills in health-related occupations between 2018 and 2023. It also identifies specific digital and AI skill requirements for various healthcare roles, and assesses the potential effects of Generative AI (GenAI) and Advanced Robotics (AR) on health occupations.
