Asia Pacific Medical Technology Association

Asia Pacific Medical Technology Association Asia Pacific Medical Technology Association (APACMed)

APACMed was established to provide a unifying voice for the medical devices, equipment and in-vitro diagnostics industry in Asia Pacific. We are the first and only regional medical technology association that is headquartered in Asia, solely focused on matters of interest in Asia and the Pacific. Guided by the principles of Access, Innovation and Collaboration, we work with governments, regulators

, payers, healthcare providers and others to shape policies that give patients timely access to quality healthcare in both developed and developing markets. Our aim is also to connect and foster collaboration between all actors within the medtech ecosystem, from academics to healthcare practitioners, from startup incubators, to service providers. Our members reflect the diversity of todayโ€™s medical technology โ€“ from pacemakers to contact lenses, to rapid test kits and high volume disposable devices, to large imaging equipment such as CTโ€™s and MRIโ€™s.

Day 1 in office. This morning, in sunny Singapore, an expert panel explored how Donald Trumpโ€™s second term could reshape global trade dynamics and its impact on the MedTech industry in Asia Pacific.

Notably, Drรคger's Thomas Jakob shared how companies can position themselves to manage risks and capitalise on gains in a Trump 2.0 era:

1. Continue diversifying your supply chains and explore new markets. Consider building a "China+2" strategy to further future-proof your business.

2. Peel your eyes open for opportunities to become more competitive, such as through portfolio expansion.

3. Be agile. Surprises will come along the way but be prepared to react quickly. Challenges can shape us to be nimble and on our feet.

We are grateful for valuable insights shared by our speakers:

How can all stakeholders work together to build an AI talent ecosystem for MedTech?

This was one of the many critical questions addressed by our panelists in the discussion titled โ€œFuture Proofing with AI Talentโ€ at the Asia Pacific MedTech Forum 2024.

The panel comprising of John Eng of EDB, John Collings of Stryker (and Chairman of APACMed Board of Directors), Vy Tran of Siemens Healthineers (and APACMed Board Sponsor for AI) was moderated by Vikram Kapur of Bain & Company.

Key points covered include:

1. Essential skills for the Medtech workforce of tomorrow
2. The talent landscape across APAC and Singapore's role
3. Cultural transformations needed for innovation
4. The importance of AI leadership development

APACMed, together with EDB and Bain & Company, recently launched a white paper on AI Talent here [INSERT URL], and will hold a webinar this Friday - register here to join the conversation [INSERT ZOOM LINK].

Expert insights gathered through roundtables and interviews reveal exciting possibilities: integrating NGS into cancer care not only improves patient outcomes but also generates broader societal and economic benefits. This positions NGS as a vital tool in tackling APAC's rising cancer burden.

To translate this potential into reality, collaboration is key. We encourage all healthcare ecosystem stakeholders to collaborate and enable NGS access across a broader spectrum of cancer patients and cancer types.

Embracing whatโ€™s next for cancer care can save lives. Join us in advocating for change and ensure patients across APAC benefit from NGS-driven cancer care.
