Interested in gaining insights on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Health?

AI has gained considerable attention in recent years, especially for healthcare applications. The field of health AI is apparently wide—covering wellness to diagnostics to operational technologies. The breakthroughs of these AI applications will not be realised without the understanding of underlying challenges and development of reliable AI models and integrated analytical platforms that facilitate medical research insights.

In this session, we bring together experts from the academic, national AI programme office, healthcare and industry to share on their individual perspective and experience in advancing healthcare innovations through AI:

• Challenges of AI in Health: A Deep Learning Perspective - Robby Tantowi Tan, NUS

• Improving Hospitalisation Risk Prediction Among Kidney Patients – Lim Tern Poh, AI SG

• AI for Clinical Use- All Talk, or Does It Move the Needle? - Ian Mathews, NUHS

• Building an Advanced Health Analytics Platform - A Non-for-Profit Perspective – Maya Kidron, data4life

Join us at this online event to hear from the speakers on their journey in developing health AI platforms followed by a panel discussion.

He provides consulting services to enable teams to undertake the development and implementation of AI minimum viable models within their organisations. He is also on secondment to National AI Office (NAIO) to provide his technical expertise on AI. Prior to these, he was on secondment to the Government Technology Agency (GovTech) as the Data Science & AI Programme Manager to assist in the building of analytics capabilities across the whole-of-Government. He was also an instructor for the Data Analytics programme at the National University of Singapore School of Continuing and Lifelong Education (SCALE).Tern Poh is a candidate for part-time Master of Computing (AI) at National University of Singapore. He holds a Bachelor of Business Management (Finance & International Trading, Cum Laude) from Singapore Management University and Advanced Diploma (Biomedical Sciences) from Republic Polytechnic.

Ian Mathews, NUHS

Ian is an Emergency Medicine Physician with the National University Health System (NUHS). He is also the Deputy Group Chief Technology Officer for the hospital group, focusing on data in healthcare and artificial intelligence solutions for clinical problems. Besides his clinical work, Ian teaches as an Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where he combines classroom academic rigour with practical bedside training. He is also a Singapore-Stanford Biodesign Fellow with experience in patient-centric medical technology, from ideation and innovation through to implementation. Ian has an avid interest in global health and technology’s application to healthcare, particularly in emerging fields such as blockchain and artificial intelligence. He concurrently advises medtech startups in various fields, and has developed Singapore's first clinician-led co-working space and centre for innovation for medtech called CATALYST. Ian firmly believes that technological solutions can provide access and help reduce inequity in global healthcare delivery.
