Google to deploy AI tools across Singapore health system

Alphabet’s Google is setting up a research hub in Singapore and expanding its work with the country’s healthcare institutions to deploy artificial intelligence across medical research and clinical care, the company said on Thursday.

Google DeepMind is working with Singapore’s National University Health System to evaluate an AI co-clinician tool. The tool helps doctors access medical guidelines and research, and answer clinical queries.

Google Cloud is partnering with NHG Health to use AI to predict health risks across population groups. The AI will focus on chronic conditions.
