AI in healthcare: Helping assess risk of patients falling in wards, 3D holograms to assist doctors

SINGAPORE - From a computer model that predicts how likely patients are to fall over to a device that creates 3D holograms to assist doctors, the healthcare of the future is looking towards artificial intelligence (AI). These new developments were showcased last Friday (Dec 11) by the National University Health System (NUHS) at the Singapore Healthcare AI Expo. "There is a digital transformation coming to the whole of society," said Professor Yeoh Khay Guan, chief executive of NUHS. "Healthcare systems are transforming worldwide and we must be ready for that." Increasing efficiency is a goal of Dr Siti Zubaidah Mordiffii and her team.
