Philips, a global leader in health technology, has announced a strategic partnership with SingHealth, Singapore’s largest public healthcare cluster, to enhance healthcare delivery through innovative technologies.
This collaboration, formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), aims to accelerate the digital transformation of Singapore’s healthcare landscape by leveraging Philips’ advanced healthcare technologies to improve clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.
The partnership will focus on three key projects over the next three years. These projects include integrating imaging data with artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline workflows, deploying next-generation predictive enterprise data management to support clinical decision-making, and optimising Intensive Care Unit (ICU) capacity with advanced monitoring tools. The goal is to create a robust and standardised data architecture that enhances patient-centric care through a digital-first strategy.
Hung Choong Hwang, Country Manager of Philips Singapore, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “By combining our technological expertise with SingHealth’s clinical excellence, we aim to set new benchmarks in healthcare innovation, quality and resilience.”
The collaboration is expected to address key challenges in the healthcare system, such as accessing and integrating data sources to form cohesive patient stories. According to the Philips Future Health Index 2024 report, 37% of healthcare leaders are looking to external partnerships for data analytics to make more informed decisions.
As Singapore’s population ages, with 21% expected to be over 65 by 2026, this partnership positions Singapore as a leader in pioneering next-generation healthcare technologies, aiming to improve efficiency and accessibility across the region.
