AI & Big Data In Digital Health -- Vietnam Case

Vietnam is in the nascent stages of its use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data in healthcare: only a few hospitals out of nearly 1,400 hospitals currently have any form of AI.ome notable hospitals pioneering AI applications in diagnosis and treatment, are the People's 115 Hospital and Gia An 115 Hospital. Both of which have adopted the Stanford University "RAPID" system to diagnose and treat strokes. In cancer diagnosis and treatment, three Vietnamese hospitals are leading the way in terms of digitisation, namely the National Cancer Hospital, Phu Tho General Hospital, and HCMC Oncology Hospital. These three hospitals were selected to participate in the "IBM Watson for Oncology" AI application pilot. AI can be used in various ways to improve healthcare services including, day-to-day tracking, early detection of diseases, diagnoses, and treatment planning.
