Partnerships key to future-proofing healthcare delivery with innovation One of the key challenges in the complexities of the healthcare system is the ability to access and integrate different data sources to form a cohesive patient story. Accurate and timely access to data at critical points in a patient's journey is key in the digital transformation of the healthcare system. According to the Singapore FHI 2024 report findings, more than one-third (37%) of healthcare leaders surveyed are looking to external partnerships to use data analytics for more informed decision-making. Please refer to Annex for more info on Singapore findings of the Philips Future Health Index (FHI) 2024 report. Philips has previously partnered SingHealth in the implementation of an iECG initiative to transform the delivery of cardiovascular care in Singapore. Philips also partnered Singapore General Hospital to advance its medical imaging capabilities. "We believe in harnessing the power of strategic partnerships to address the unique healthcare needs of the Asia Pacific. By conducting thorough reviews of current capacities, processes and workflows, and thoughtfully integrating advanced technologies in a way that best supports staff, we are dedicated to improving healthcare outcomes and efficiency across this diverse and dynamic region," said Jasper Westerink, Acting Managing Director, Philips APAC. "I'm excited about how our upcoming projects will positively impact patient care and digital healthcare innovation in the region, especially since SingHealth is Singapore's largest healthcare group and has a track record of setting standards of excellence in patient-centred clinical care, and since Singapore is a key medical hub." Mr Lawrence Loke, Group Chief Information Officer, SingHealth, said, "This collaboration between SingHealth and Philips is a big stride forward in accelerating healthcare innovation in Singapore. By combining our deep and broad range of clinical expertise with Philips' cutting-edge technology, we are prioritizing the needs of our patients in reimagining healthcare delivery. From 'Smart ICUs' to AI-driven diagnostics, our singular goal is to enhance patient outcomes and experiences. In our efforts to pilot transformative care models, we hope that our patients will receive personalized, timely and accessible care that is focused on achieving the best outcomes possible for them." As a key medical hub in the Asia Pacific, partnerships like these position Singapore well in leading the charge to pioneer and deploy next-generation healthcare technologies, driving efficiency, better care, and more accessible health services for more people across the region.

Annex Addressing healthcare system challenges: Workforce, data and workflow optimization With Singapore's population set to become "super-aged" by 2026, and 21% of its population over the age of 65, the healthcare system faces mounting pressures.[1] According to the Singapore findings of the Philips Future Health Index (FHI) 2024 report, nearly two-thirds (65%) of healthcare leaders report that workforce shortages are leading to staff having less time with patients, higher patient-to-staff ratios and/or an increase in clinical errors. These challenges highlight the urgent need to augment clinical manpower and address growing patient workloads and demands on Singapore's health services. In addition to workforce shortages, healthcare leaders identified workflow prioritization as a key area for automation, which can help healthcare professionals better manage high patient volumes without compromising on care quality. For instance, automated initial screening of medical images can help prioritize cases and direct them to the right sub-specialty radiologist. Similarly, automated triaging systems can assist emergency department staff, improving efficiency and reducing strain on personnel. Philips FHI 2024 report also revealed that 84% of Singapore's healthcare leaders face data integration challenges, which hamper their ability to deliver timely, high-quality care. The inability to fully utilize data has wide-ranging effects, from financial and operational concerns to limiting coordination between clinicians and reducing their time spent with patients. Overcoming barriers to integrate data accessibly across clinical operations, human resources, and financials for reporting is therefore critical for continuous improvement, better decision-making and better patient empowerment.
