Paradigm Shifts in Healthcare
Healthcare is at a tipping point. What once lived in research labs is now walking hospital corridors, sitting in pre-op clinics, and re-engineering how we manage everything from clinical decisions to carbon footprints.Â
Â
This year, the _Paradigm Shifts in Healthcare Seminar_ brings that future into focus. We’re convening the minds reshaping medicine at the bedside, in the back office, and across the supply chain. From AI assistants that streamline pre-surgery assessment to autonomous robots transforming hospital logistics, from 3D-printed insoles customized for every step to novel viral filters born from pandemic urgency — this is where innovation meets implementation.Â
Â
Whether you’re a clinician, technologist, administrator, or simply invested in the future of care, this seminar is your front-row seat to the systems, tools, and ideas setting the new standard for sustainable, intelligent healthcare.Â
The paradigm has shifted.
Time to see how.
Join leading clinicians and healthcare operators from Singapore General Hospital and Sengkang General Hospital as they pull back the curtain on real-world deployments. Dr Ke Yuhe unveils PEACH, the AI-powered assistant redefining presurgical workflows. Dr Jonathan Cheng tackles a different kind of waste, showing how AI can scale food sustainability in hospitals. Dr Daryl Tan bridges innovation with infection control through a novel viral filter project. Dr Chan Yew Weng confronts the hard truth about AI adoption — the hurdles, and how to clear them. On the operations front, Mr Teng Jyh Lei demonstrates how autonomous mobile robots are rewriting healthcare logistics, while Mr Alvin Leon Timothy Charles takes us a step forward with 3D-printed custom insoles from SKH’s Podiatry Department.Â
Six speakers. One common thread: the shift isn’t coming. It’s already here.Â
