Day 2 at #SWITCH2024 – The CRIS booth (G01) invites visitors to get a sense of the innovation journey which takes research from the R&D phase, through to developing synergies, partnerships and capabilities, so as to guide the translation of innovative ideas into market-ready products with potential to scale-towards clinical adoption and implementation. Did you walk through these three segments at our booth? ✨𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉 𝒕𝒐 𝑬𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆 Features our six key programmes and national-level R&D initiatives in therapeutic areas spanning research programmes in cardiovascular health, cell therapy, oncology and precision medicine. ✨𝑰𝒏𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑬𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆 National Health Innovation Centre (NHIC) brings together innovation centres and initiatives from the three public healthcare institutions in Singapore — National Healthcare Group, National University Health System and SingHealth.

Early detection is crucial in the fight against any type of cancer. When it comes to melanoma, its importance cannot be overstated, with a five-year survival rate of 99% when caught early! However, identifying whether a skin spot is benign or a potential cancer indicator often can be challenging. That’s where skAI comes in to simplify and clarify the process. Originally developed as a proof of concept by NSC dermatologists Dr Lucinda Tan and A/Prof Hong Liang TEY with data scientists from the Institute for Infocomm Research at A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research, skAI has evolved into two dedicated applications: skAI Lite and skAI Pro. These versions are designed for both personal and professional use, making screening more accessible to everyone while providing a comprehensive yet portable tool for medical professionals to assess if a skin lesion requires further investigation or intervention. skAI Lite is an app for all. Simply capture a photo of your skin lesion, guided by the app’s step-by-step features. Its AI-powered engine then generates an instant risk assessment, informing the user of next steps if further investigation is recommended. It serves as a record to aid in monitoring or to provide peace of mind. Designed by and for healthcare professionals, skAI Pro advances this further by utilizing dermatoscope imaging with our very own dermascope attachment on a mobile phone. Paired with AI analysis based on the ABCD rule of dermoscopy, it enables high sensitivity and specificity in evaluating skin lesions. We are proud to see this proof of concept, initially seeded by our National Healthcare Group CMTi-NHIC Medtech grant, progress from prototype to a viable product with EyRIS. With additional support from the Innovation to Industry (I2I) award, we thank National Health Innovation Centre (NHIC) for aiding this important journey towards more accessible skin cancer screening. Together, we’re moving closer to a future where early detection can make a meaningful difference. #SkinHealth #MelanomaAwareness #EarlyDetection #InnovationInHealthcare #DigitalHealth #SHBC2024

Our innovations are not only groundbreaking, but stay true to solving the unmet needs on the ground. This year at #SHBC2024, we are proud to have showcased our healthcare innovations at the Research and Innovation @NHG Exhibition, where we had the privilege of hosting Minister Ong Ye Kung to witness our advancements firsthand. The first of 3 projects highlighted was project PRIME CXR. It integrates an AI-powered chest X-ray (CXR) analysis solution, Lunit INSIGHT CXR, into our diagnostic radiology systems for use in primary care. This is a collaborative effort led by Tan Tock Seng Hospital's and National Healthcare Group Polyclinics’s radiologists Cher Heng Tan, Alvin Soon 孙涌泉 and primary care physician Qi Wei Fong. The innovative triage tool serves to prioritise urgent abnormal CXRs for review and has the potential to reduce patient wait times to early intervention or discharge. Thankful for the partnership with Lunit Cancer Screening and Resaro; as well as the support of Synapxe for the onboarding of Lunit INSIGHT CXR onto the AI Medical Imaging for SG Public Healthcare Platform #AIMSG. We appreciate the National Health Innovation Centre (NHIC)’s belief in and support for this transformative effort.
