Singapore’s national HealthTech agency, Synapxe, signed a collaboration agreement with Google Cloud to enhance its data and AI platforms, HEALIX and Tandem. This leverages Google Cloud’s interoperable data and AI platform services.
Ngiam Siew Ying, CEO of Synapxe, said AI holds immense promise for transforming healthcare through innovation.
“By harnessing its capabilities, we are developing solutions that enhance predictive and personalised care and improve health outcomes for everyone,” she said.
“At Synapxe, we build a bridge to AI-ready healthcare, anchored on empowering people, fostering a vibrant ecosystem, establishing infrastructure, and enabling responsible innovation,” she added. “Together with our partners, we transform data into vision, ensuring that the human experience remains at the heart of healthcare.”
Rahul Sharma, Google Cloud managing director of public sector in the Asia-Pacific region, said that generative AI-powered AI agents are intelligent systems that proactively search for information, plan ahead, and act on your behalf and under your supervision.
“This isn’t future tech; it’s already transforming healthcare. Various public health organisations, for instance, are deploying purpose-built, domain-specific AI agents with Google Cloud to alleviate administrative burdens and elevate patient care,” said Sharma.
This includes ambient documentation of patient-doctor engagements, semantic search for easy extraction of relevant information buried deep within electronic health records (EHRs), and multimodal data analysis for better diagnostics.
“Synapxe has proven its leadership in data-driven HealthTech innovation with established platforms like HEALIX and Tandem,” he said. “We’re now joining forces to advance its platform-first strategy, deepening our commitment to delivering new, interoperable, and highly-secure AI tools and resources that empower healthier lives for everyone.”
This partnership also aims to train and certify at least 300 healthcare technology professionals to effectively apply Google Cloud’s latest enterprise AI technologies, which will help meet the evolving demands of the sector.
In addition, the agreement includes plans to co-organise biannual workshops on generative AI and data analytics, fostering continuous learning and innovation.
This collaboration aims to enhance Singapore’s healthcare technology capabilities and drive advancements in healthcare delivery through knowledge exchange, joint development of innovative generative AI applications, and collaboration in HealthTech thought leadership.
