✨We were honoured to welcome Minister Ong Ye Kung, Minister for Health and Coordinating Minister for Social Policies, to CHI INNOVATE 2025 this morning!✨
📍 At the Tri-Cluster AI Showcase in CHIRP, he explored innovations from NHG, SingHealth, and NUHS — from Healthbot to emerging AI solutions. Led by Prof Jonty Heaversedge, the tour spotlighted how AI is transforming care, enabled by platforms like CHIRP and CHISEL.
🎤 In his keynote, Minister Ong reminded us that “innovation and AI innovation are fundamentally a human, not a technological, endeavour.” He called for bold strategies, a shift toward community-based care, and thoughtful AI use: “Healthcare must be AI-enabled, not AI-decided.”
🤝 Two strategic partnerships were inked:
1️⃣ NHG x ST Engineering – to co-develop smart systems and launch an Engineering Sandbox
2️⃣ NHG x NTU LKCMedicine x Cornerstone Robotics – to advance robotic-assisted surgery
A powerful start to CHI INNOVATE 2025 — where innovation, strategy, and care come together.
