A dive into the evolution of the Healthcare sector in Singapore and its digital transformation journey.
Healthcare stands at a crossroads.
The pandemic accelerated digital transformation, revealing both strengths and gaps. Telemedicine, remote monitoring, and connected healthcare became lifelines for the world as the industry featured in global headlines every day.
The urgency to improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and enhance seamless care drives transformation today in a changed industry. Singapore has been at the forefront of healthcare modernisation, but now we stare at a host of disruptions on the horizon - both positive and negative. Global uncertainties and aging populations force a deep relook at processes and resources, while new technologies promise to open up unprecedented possibilities to fulfil healthcare needs.
Join us on the 2nd of October 2024 at the Healthcare Frontiers conference — now in its fourth year — as we engage with these new promises and seek to address lingering challenges.
The conference will gather Singapore’s foremost healthcare technology and management leaders to discuss AI and robotics; analytics and the cloud; patient experience and compliance - among dozens of other topics.
It will be a forum to celebrate accomplishments, exchange ideas, learn about frontier technologies and forge new professional relationships.

We are on the cusp of radical changes in the way healthcare will be delivered - from AI to IoT and VR/AR to robotics, these technologies are changing the way providers and patients interact within the industry. They shape government policies, determine investment flows, and fundamentally alter processes that have existed for decades - or even centuries.
This session will detail the nature of these key technologies and their long-term impact on healthcare delivery.
10:00 AM - 10:45 AM
Generative AI now takes centre-stage in public awareness. Global leaders talk about AI with both optimism and concern - and it is transforming technology in both the consumer and the enterprise space.
What does it mean for the healthcare industry? What are the workflows it can potentially disrupt, and will it potentially replace human personnel? What are some quick wins with AI?

Collecting, processing, analysing and deploying patient and organisational data towards better patient outcomes remains a critical challenge in the industry.
How can healthcare institutions better manage data and integrate it across various sources - including from legacy systems and silos? Is a platform strategy ideal in today’s world? How can technologists in healthcare navigate data governance, ownership, and quality roadblocks?
12:00 PM - 12:45 PM
The consumer world keeps pushing the enterprise world to evolve - this is also true in healthcare. Patients prefer fewer touchpoints, dislike repeating procedures, and expect seamless processes from pre-admission to discharge - and beyond.
Technology can become the enabling layer in elevating patient experience while increasing efficiency among care-givers. This panel will provide insights on the latest developments in approaches to patient experience, as well as the role of technology in improving it.

Patient data is the most prized by hackers - it sells for a higher premium than even financial services data.
How can healthcare information security policymakers and technologists ensure that data is protected without being siloed; available for the right user at the right time without leaking to malicious actors; and secure without being inaccessible?
Considering the proliferation of complex, state-sponsored cyberattacks in today’s world, what steps can information security professionals take to keep healthcare data safe?
14.40 PM - 15.25 PM
The connected hospital, monitoring gadgets and telehealth on smartphones - the industry encounters new technologies every day. Incorporating these technologies is not trivial - established functions and methods have to be rewired, often representing a whole-of-enterprise effort.
Digital, mobile, automated - what are the contours of healthcare provision in the future? How will robots and humans work together, where does the personal touch end and AI begin? Where are we in the roadmap to digitalisation, and what can help or impede progress?
