Singapore's health tech agency, Synapxe, unveiled innovations, collaborations, and expanding uses of AI on national healthcare IT platforms to enhance the public healthcare ecosystem in Singapore.
"At Synapxe, we build a bridge to an AI-ready healthcare, anchored on empowering people, fostering a vibrant ecosystem, establishing infrastructure and enabling responsible innovation. Together with our partners, we transform data into vision, ensuring that the human experience remains at the heart of healthcare," Ms Ngiam Siew Ying, CEO of Synapxe, said.
New collaborations
During its inaugural Artificial Intelligence (AI) conference, AI Accelerate, Synapxe inked a collaboration agreement with OpenAI to explore improvements in healthcare.
Synapxe also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with AIDX TECH to assist in identifying AI risks in healthcare and ensuring AI safety and reliability, as well as an MOU with Databricks, to strengthen the capabilities of the national cloud-based analytics platform, Health Empowerment through Advanced Learning & Intelligent eXchange (HEALIX). Databricks will also support the training and certification of public healthcare professionals through the HEALIX Data and AI Academy over the next three years.
Lastly, Synapxe inked an MOU with Google Cloud to leverage the latter's interoperable data and AI platform services, such as BigQuery, Vertex AI, and the Agent2Agent Protocol, to enhance HEALIX and Tandem, Synapxe's innovative and secure Generative AI (GenAI) platform.
AI-enabled predictive and preventive care
Synapse paves the way for healthcare innovation with exploratory proof-of-concept (POC) explorations. For instance, Synseh, which examines the intersection of Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern technology using computer vision and AI algorithms, is a promising initiative in the field of predictive and preventive care.
Similarly, the AI-enabled Short Performance Physical Battery Evaluation (ASPIRE), developed in partnership with the National Healthcare Group (NHG) through its Tan Tock Seng Hospital and NHG Polyclinics, is another significant step towards AI-enabled healthcare.
