Following its launch, the Centre welcomed its first batch of visitors including Dr Tan, Prof Ng, Prof Vaughan, as well as distinguished guests and members of the SingHealth Duke-NUS AMC community. Led by Prof Ho, the visitors embarked on a tour of the Centre, where they learnt about the latest innovations at the AMC, including the aiTriageTM.
Housed in the SingHealth Tower, the Centre is a purpose-built living laboratory for brainstorming, prototyping and test-bedding innovations. It is also home to SingHealth’s first supercomputer, CHROMA developed in partnership with the National Supercomputing Centre Singapore to facilitate large-scale and complex healthcare research at the AMC.
Prof Ivy Ng said: “The opening of A.L.I.C.E@SGH Campus, the first innovation centre situated in our biggest campus, is a significant milestone in our efforts to improve care through innovation.”
She added: “The Centre’s co-location with our institutions on the SGH Campus is strategic, so that healthcare professionals can bring unmet clinical needs to the innovation table, and work with partners to ideate and test potential solutions in a real-world setting.”
