The Next Frontier: Exploring Digital Twins' Role in Healthcare Innovation

Date: 28 Oct 2024
Time: 10:30am - 11:15am

Digital Twin technologies are poised to transform healthcare by creating “digital mirrors” and simulations of patients and healthcare systems, enabling personalised, analytics-powered, data-driven care delivery. In this panel, experts from clinical practice, academia, industry and healthcare management will come together to explore the potential of these innovations to improve chronic disease management, enhance reproductive health, and optimise operational efficiency within healthcare systems. We will examine the various approaches taken by academia and industry to drive this transformation, including the integration of advanced AI/ML techniques and the role of computational biology in shaping this innovative approach to healthcare.

The discussion will also focus on the roadmap to clinical adoption, addressing key challenges such as validation, regulatory approval, cost-effectiveness and the metrics that determine success. This is a unique opportunity to engage with leaders at the forefront of healthcare innovation and gain a deeper understanding of how Digital Twins could transform the future of healthcare delivery.

Empowering Health through Data: The Role of Precision Medicine

Date: 28 Oct 2024
Time: 11.20am - 12:05pm

Precision medicine is on the precipice of rapid expansion. With the advancement of predictive analytics and genomic sequencing capabilities, nations around the world are using data-driven insights to shift from reactive to proactive care models.

Data is the engine of precision medicine. In Singapore, the National Precision Medicine (NPM) programme stands at the forefront of this transformation.

From local community-based studies to global health initiatives, precision medicine generates insights that are reflected in our technology advancements, our treatments and the way we deliver care. How is Singapore’s National Precision Medicine programme laying the groundwork to turn these insights into tangible clinical applications? What other roles does precision medicine play in reshaping healthcare? What are the challenges and opportunities in leveraging health data for broader health outcomes?

Hear from speakers from both public and private healthcare sectors as they examine the role of precision medicine in transforming healthcare from an innovator and provider perspective, and what the future holds for the wider health ecosystem going forward.
