A Passion For AI in Healthcare

As group chief technology officer and deputy chief medical information officer at National University Health System Singapore (NUHS), Dr Kee Yuan Ngiam’s career has been defined by his work developing and deploying AI platforms.

Artificial intelligence (AI) will play a major role in the future of healthcare, according to Dr Ngiam.

"Being able to support clinical decisions based on highly accurate predictions of patients' outcomes would be a game changer. If this is done at population scale, I think that will change the way we practice medicine as we know it," he says.

Over the years, Dr Ngiam has been awarded numerous awards for his work in research and education, including the ExxonMobil-NUS research fellowship for clinicians in 2007.
