To advance artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and the National Healthcare Group (NHG) are pioneering a new center to bridge the gap between innovative AI technologies and their practical applications in medicine.

The new Centre of AI in Medicine (C-AIM), spearheaded by NTU’s Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine), aims to revolutionize patient care and inform public health policies through its research activities.

The new center will focus on four key clinical domains: mental health, elderly frailty, medical imaging, and cancer screening, to drive its research and innovation efforts. This is in line with Singapore’s second National AI Strategy (NAIS 2.0) to encourage the roll-out of AI-driven healthcare solutions and tools.

The center was officially launched today by Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Digital Development and Information, Mr. Tan Kiat How.

"Our unique multidisciplinary research across fields will ensure that AI solutions are not only innovative but also accessible, affordable, and scalable. C-AIM will help build the trust, evidence, and integration needed for widespread AI adoption," said Prof Sung, who is also Dean of LKCMedicine.

Senior Deputy Dean of the College of Computing & Data Science, Associate Vice President, Capability Building and Co-Director of C-AIM, Professor Miao Chun Yan said: "In addition to technological advancements, it is crucial to prioritise human-machine interactions to create human centred AI systems that healthcare professionals can trust and use in a natural and intuitive way. This will ensure that AI solutions are both impactful and widely adopted." Ultimately, the patient remains on the centre-stage. The true test for AI is how its deployment in the hospital, clinic or community impacts health outcomes for patients and the population. We would want to see its impact and value in a real-world setting." Professor Benjamin Seet, Group Chairman Medical Board (Research), NHG Leveraging leading expertise in […]
