We are in the era of Information and communication technology that can be used to improve the quality and safety of health care. In my opinion, although there are some Healthtech startups that do not solve the health problem in the Thailand context. There is an inadequate supply of skilled individuals who have the technical skills to use this technology to improve health care. As Khun Chanapong said that there are less than ten Thai doctors who are also health informaticians and a programmer or software engineer who interested in health informatics is just a small group.
To challenge this issue, It is important to identify and develop the skills, training to a person who is in a related field, for example, the doctor should have IT skills (help to analyze, design and utilize new technology – Phyton, Machine learning, Advance predictive, data analytics etc.) or IT worker should have medical knowledge (help to analyze, realize problem and design a system or software that match with user requirement etc.) An ideal approach will include needs assessment as well as education and training opportunities for that workforce.
