Incredible Health expands AI-powered marketplace

Incredible Health, an AI-powered career marketplace for health care professionals based in San Francisco, has announced its expansion into working with home health organizations and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs).

With technicians making up 60% of the health care workforce and facing growing shortages, Incredible Health is now the first marketplace dedicated to helping these professionals secure permanent positions and rewarding careers, the company indicated.

By including home health organizations and ASCs alongside acute care hospitals, the company’s platform can now serve a broader range of health care facilities. This enables them to hire in 20 days or less and save up to $5 million per facility by minimizing the use of premium labor, reducing overtime costs and lowering human resources expenses.

“We’ve seen firsthand the challenges faced by nurses, and we’re applying those lessons to the growing crisis of technician shortages—circumstances that many of our health system partners have likened to the nursing crisis of 2021,” Incredible Health CEO and Co-Founder Iman Abuzeid said in a press release. “Moreover, our expansion into home health and ASCs is not just about faster hiring and cost reductions; it’s about helping nurses and technicians build meaningful, long-term careers in environments that suit them best. This is a significant step forward in our mission to help health care workers lead better lives.”
