Study Notes
- Researchers in Singapore were tasked with using AI to slow down or stop the worsening of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol in patients with all three chronic diseases.
- The goal is to reduce the number of these patients by 20% in five years to ease the burden on Singapore's healthcare system.
- Major complications for these patients include cardiovascular disease and renal failure.
- The research challenge is part of the National Research Foundation's effort to boost the use of AI in Singapore.
- Three projects have been shortlisted to receive up to $5 million each to develop their products in the next two years.
- The first project aims to gather and analyze local healthcare data to enable predictive care for people predisposed to 3H.
- The second project aims to develop an automatic food and nutrient intake logging, analysis, and coaching system to allow patients to monitor their health.
- The third project aims to identify people predisposed to 3H based on behavioural patterns and health symptoms to allow early medical interventions.
- The projects involve collaborations between various universities, healthcare providers, and government initiatives.
- The use of AI in healthcare has the potential to improve health and contribute to the transformation of healthcare delivery.
