Collaborating towards the future of healthcare
Prof. Nicole Wenderoth, director of the Future Health Technologies programme describes how the Swiss-Singapore research collaboration will bring healthcare closer to patients in RIE News.
Singapore is among the first countries in the world to initiate future-oriented initiatives in support of a patient-centric healthcare transformation. Its high technical readiness, innovativeness and proactive strategy makes it an ideal environment for the Future Health Technologies (FHT) programme established by ETH Zurich.
The new programme by the Singapore-ETH Centre, which was launched on 1 March 2020, will contribute to this healthcare transformation effort with the support of the National Research Foundation’s (NRF) external pageCampus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE).
In an opinion article "Swiss-Singapore collaboration brings healthcare closer to patients" published in the NRF's quarterly external pageRIE News magazine, Prof. Nicole Wenderoth, director of FHT, describes how the programme is a collaborative effort on many fronts.
The FHT is in partnership with Duke-NUS Medical School, Nanyang Technological University, National University of Singapore, National Healthcare Group, National University Health System, and SingHealth.
The research programme not only brings together leading Singapore- and Swiss-based researchers and clinician scientists, but also disciplines including health engineering, medicine, computer science and artificial intelligence, economics, bioethics, social sciences, neuroscience, and rehabilitation science.
