SINGAPORE - The dean of the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Professor Joseph Sung, is big on using technology – from artificial intelligence (AI) to robotics – to transform healthcare.
The 62-year-old believes this is the way to achieve good population health, particularly in Singapore where people are ageing and there is a shortage of healthcare workers.
