Poh-Sun Goh, 6 April 2022, 0525am, Singapore Time
Patient
Health(care) Professional Health System
Spends majority of time in health
Wants to maintain health, stay healthy, and improve health
Occasionally becomes ill
Vast majority can be self-managed, with some help from pharmacists, personal and ‘family’ experience
and advice including from ‘friends’ and networks
Rarely will require emergency care, in clinic setting, institutional setting, or ‘in the
fi
eld’
Or planned institutional and hospitalisation acute, and long term care
At beginning, middle and for extended periods more often toward end of life
How do we bring in AI, both arti
fi
cial and augmented intelligence to support this process?
How do we build digital and health literacy in patients?
Incorporate Tele-health, including remote monitoring, on-site testing, on-site in-person healthcare delivery
both (analogue-human delivered) and robotic?
How would health-care, and patient education and training be integrated into patient’s lives in the (near) future?
How would we design acute in-the-
fi
eld (in-place) and institutional healthcare (systems), and community care (in-place)?
How would we, and can we re-imagine Medical Education for patient-centric Health-care (for this future)?
