TERN Group to debut its AI healthcare workforce infrastructure at WHX 2026
TERN Group will present its AI-powered healthcare workforce infrastructure platform at World Health Expo (WHX) 2026, taking place February 9-12 at the Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai. The platform will be demonstrated at the Emirates Health Services (EHS) pavilion.
What healthcare leaders will see
- AI video interviews that assess clinical competency, communication skills, and role readiness.
- Text-based screening that pre-qualifies candidates before clinical interviews.
- Predictive analytics that flag emerging leadership talent and forecast skill shortages months in advance.
- A governed, auditable operating layer to plan, deploy, and sustain clinical teams across sites and services.
Why this matters now
Health systems are under pressure from workforce shortages and rising demand. Global estimates point to a significant shortfall in health workers over the coming years, with ongoing constraints in nursing, primary care, and allied health roles. For context, see the WHO overview on health workforce challenges here.
Traditional recruitment can take 3-6 months to verify a nurse's credentials and assess readiness. TERN's platform compresses that process into weeks by pre-screening credentials, running standardized video-based competency assessments, and suggesting role matches-while maintaining full audit trails for regulators.
How the platform supports workforce continuity
- Governed workforce layer: A single, auditable system to plan, deploy, and sustain clinical teams over time.
- Competency at scale: AI-driven, video-based assessments to validate clinical skills consistently and quickly.
- Credential automation: Cross-framework verification that reduces manual checks and administrative delays.
- Workforce intelligence: Real-time insight into skills gaps, leadership potential, and utilisation trends.
- Human oversight: AI supports workforce decisions; clinicians and managers remain in control of operational and clinical outcomes.
From the CEO
Mr. Avinav Nigam, Founder and CEO of TERN Group, said, "Our participation in World Health Expo 2026 reflects the importance of the region in shaping the future of healthcare workforce planning. WHX brings together decision-makers who are facing the same pressures around staffing, utilisation, and continuity of care. We will use the event to demonstrate how workforce capacity can be planned and governed with the same discipline as clinical operations."
He added, "The world over, health systems are struggling due to a shortage of over 11 million health workers and the inability to retain top talent long-term. Traditional recruitment takes 3-6 months to verify a nurse's credentials and assess their readiness. Our AI platform pre-screens credentials, conducts standardized video-based competency assessments, and identifies the best role matches in weeks, while maintaining complete audit trails for regulators. This isn't about replacing human judgment; it's about giving healthcare leaders the information they need to make faster, safer, more defensible hiring and deployment decisions."

Practical takeaways for healthcare teams
- Shorten time-to-hire without lowering standards by automating credential checks and structured competency assessments.
- Use auditable processes to satisfy regulatory scrutiny and maintain trust with clinicians.
- Forecast skill gaps early, align staffing with demand, and protect continuity of care.
