Precision Digital Therapeutics (PDTx) Master Class with FHT, NTU and the Centre for Healthcare Innovation (CHI)

About the Master Class

Digital Therapeutics (DTx) are software-based interventions designed to treat diseases. Adding ‘precision’ to DTx (PDTx) means we go one step further to deliver hyper-personalised interventions at the most optimal moments to boost adherence and treatment outcomes.

In this Master Class, clinical experts (medical doctors, nurses, and caregivers) together with patients, will present real challenges from Singapore’s healthcare system to the master class participants. Over five days, participants will have to work collaboratively in teams to build a PDTx prototype.

This will be complemented by:

• Lectures from international experts with medical, technical, and business backgrounds
• Hands-on coaching sessions leveraging state-of-the-art PDTx and GenAI tools
  

On the final day, participants will present their PDTx prototype to a jury of clinical experts, patients, and investors, creating solutions that can drive business success and societal impact.
