Singapore is looking to steer more concerted efforts towards the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, through a new partnership that aims to gather expertise from both fields. A three-year collaboration between SingHealth and SGInnovate will offer resources and opportunities that deep tech startups need to develop AI applications to enhance healthcare services.
The partnership would drive the adoption of AI and other emerging technologies to improve diagnostics and treatment, and healthcare delivery and clinical outcomes for Singapore, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung at the Memorandum of Understanding signing Tuesday.
Funded by Singapore’s Ministry of Finance, SGInnovate is an investment firm that focuses on deep tech startups. SingHealth is the country’s largest group of healthcare institutions comprising more than 40 clinical specialties including public hospitals and polyclinics.
