Pick of the Month

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

In conjunction with AI Appreciation Day 2024 recently, CHILD is proud to highlight three exemplary projects this month that showcase the transformative power of AI in healthcare.  

These projects, drawn from public healthcare clusters across Singapore, not only exemplify the versatility and impact of AI in healthcare but also demonstrate how AI-driven innovation can enhance patient outcomes, streamline workflows, and empower healthcare professionals to focus on delivering exceptional care:

1. Through the use of explainable AI models, this inter-disciplinary team from Woodlands Health (WH), Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), AITI Solutions and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) developed an application for cost-effective and efficient analysis of wound images from an Asian cohort to support clinical decisions with 83% accuracy and 60% explainability.

2. Committed to reducing redundant CT studies which incur unnecessary cost, manpower, and radiation to the patient, National University Hospital developed a code-based solution using the Endeavor AI (EAI) platform, effectively translating to reduction in effort and time by 90%. [Winner of National Healthcare Innovation & Productivity (NHIP) 2024 – Best Practice (Automation, IT and Robotics category)] 

3. By developing an efficient AI-based triage framework, this project by Health Services Research Centre and SingHealth Research enabled health workers in low resource settings to triage patients more effectively for head and neck cancers with more than 80% accuracy.
