What helps start a hard meeting on a positive note? How do you encourage team members to think bigger?

New healthcare technologies are set to be tested in partnership with the public healthcare clusters in Singapore for potential future adoption and large-scale implementation.

A total of SG$2.4 million ($1.7 million) in funding has been awarded to six near-market-ready solutions in the recent Healthcare InnoMatch 2022 organized by the Centre for Healthcare Innovation and supported by the Ministry of Health and Temasek Foundation.

Launched last year, Healthcare InnoMatch is an annual challenge gathering technology proposals from startups and small and medium enterprises for solving the pressing healthcare challenges and transforming the future of healthcare. For the first time in its second year, the event saw all three public healthcare clusters in Singapore – National Healthcare Group (NHG), National University Health System (NUHS), and Singapore Health Services (SingHealth) – work together to assess the feasibility of proposed projects.

What it’s about

The following six projects bested more than 250 applications around the world:

  • PreSAGE by CoNEX Healthcare (partnered with NHG) – AI-powered image-based solution for predicting and preventing falls in hospitals, nursing homes, and residential homes.
  • FxMammo by FathomX (partnered with NUHS) – AI support tool for analyzing mammograms in the early detection of breast cancer.
  • KIMIA Recovery Management System by Kinexcs (partnered with SingHealth) – post-surgical recovery management solution for remote monitoring of a patient’s joint condition. It comes with a smart wearable sensor device and an AI digital therapist that guides users in exercise and detects complications post-surgery.
  • NuCalm (partnered with SingHealth) – neuroscience-based technology that is clinically proven to reduce stress and improve sleep quality.
  • QTX Magnetic Mitohormesis by QuantumTX (partnered with NUHS) – muscle-mitochondria activating technology that provides supplementary muscle activation to improve post-stroke recovery and functional independence.
  • Us2.AI (partnered with NHG and SingHealth) – automated cardiac ultrasound software for the diagnosis of heart failure.

Gustavussen thừa nhận rằng họ cũng cảm thấy hơi “liều” khi đặt toàn bộ thông điệp của chiến dịch vào tay AI, nhưng vẫn chọn làm như vậy với hy vọng đưa Đan Mạch “lên vị trí dẫn đầu trong ngành du lịch” và định vị mình là một quốc gia sử dụng công nghệ tiên tiến để thúc đẩy sự sáng tạo.
