NUHS's Dr Ngiam has said that AI is at the centre of the hospital group's digital transformation. An example is its latest AI production platform called Endeavour AI that streams data and processes these data to produce outputs in real-time. It runs with NVIDIA DGX A100 at its core, which enables its AI tools to run quickly in the background and absorb data on a daily basis. Four applications from TIBCO Software were also employed in the AI platform to support the integration of medical data from EMR systems in real-time.

It can outperform radiologists when screening for lung cancer. And it can even detect post-traumatic stress disorder in veterans by analyzing voice recordings. It sounds like a page from science fiction--but studies issued during the past year alone have claimed AI can do all of the above, and more. Early findings like those are raising interest in AI's potential to overhaul patient care as we know it. Top healthcare CEOs are eyeing the space, with nearly 90% of CEOs indicating they've seen AI developers targeting clinical practice, according to a Power Panel survey Modern Healthcare conducted this year.
