Healthcare professionals explore ways to tap artificial intelligence in patient care

SINGAPORE - Doctors at the Singapore General Hospital found that it sometimes took them about an hour or more to review and summarise patient medical records but with artificial intelligence, it took less than a minute.

There were also non-clinical submissions, like healthcare subsidy assistants and call-centre chatbots to help officers provide personalised real-time responses to queries. He said: “The involvement of healthcare workers is definitely something that I hope to see more of. If we are involved from the ideation process, ... the tech folks can help us to get what we want, and that can help us to get better products.

Dr Lee and his team, who are all anesthesiologists, sought to use AI tools to sort through documents - including from the National Electronic Health Record, surgeon notes, and patient x-rays and lab test results - and quickly summarise each case and identify key points.Dr Aaron Lee and his team at the two-day GenAIus Challenge workshop hosted by Synapxe.

He added that his team is still in touch with Synapxe and AWS to work towards creating a product that can be used in hospitals. He added that before any product can be put into clinical use, it must reach a very high standard.
