NEW technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalisation have taken the public attention by storm and are gaining prominence in the healthcare sector. Locally, the government has been driving digitalisation efforts by announcing plans to make Singapore a Smart Nation, with healthcare being a key pillar of its initiatives.

Healthcare bills are rising for both patients and the government, and total healthcare expenditure is expected to hit US$24.6 billion by 2020, according to research and consulting firm Frost and Sullivan.
