KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 20 (Bernama) — Experts speaking at the ASEAN Roundtable Series on Smart Showcase Series: ASEAN Healthcare Dialogue on the topic “Making Digital Healthcare Affordable and Accessible in ASEAN 4.0” concurred reforms in healthcare are needed to facilitate the adoption of new and innovative technology.
Digital healthcare has the potential to reduce redundant medical costs, increase efficiencies, detect the onset of life-threatening diseases earlier and ultimately reduce overall healthcare expenditure. The use of artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, robotics and the internet-of-things (IoT) can assist ASEAN in achieving its Post-2015 Health Development Agenda’s vision of a healthy, caring and sustainable ASEAN community.
