The increasing prevalence of work-related diseases and disorders is anticipated to drive the growth of the occupational health market in the future. Work-related diseases are health conditions that are caused or worsened by factors in the workplace. Occupational health services address these issues by striving to enhance employees' health and well-being, focusing on the highest levels of mental, physical, and social well-being for individuals in all job roles. For example, in May 2024, a report from the American Psychiatric Association, a US-based professional organization for psychologists, noted that in 2024, 43% of adults reported feeling more anxious, up from 37% in 2023 and 32% in 2022, highlighting a steady rise in anxiety levels. Thus, the growing incidence of work-related diseases and disorders is propelling the occupational health market forward.

As of May 2023, the United States witnessed a 0.591% increase in the number of hospitals, reaching 6,129, compared to the previous year's count of 6,093, as reported by the American Health Care Association.

This portal enables employees to report workplace injuries, receive messages, complete questionnaires, access resources for disability, request accommodations and family medical leave, and receive notifications for upcoming appointments.
