From a co-learning network to a driving force for innovation and transformation in healthcare — CHI turns 9! 🎉

Our journey has always been about learning with one another, not just from one another. Across borders and disciplines, we’ve built relationships, not transactions. Together, we’ve learned by doing — creating an innovation centre that stands at the very point of action.

This is our DNA. This is our mantra. And as we celebrate 9 years, we remain committed to growing, sharing and transforming — together. 💙

The world's first Design Power Index (DPI) has just been launched, and we're honoured that CHI was featured as an exemplar for the social impact of design.
This is a fantastic step forward for the design community! 👏

This recognition proves what we have always believed: that thoughtful design is about more than just aesthetics.

In healthcare, it is about shaping entire systems to empower our communities and help people thrive. It's the key to building seamless, compassionate, and sustainable healthcare for all.
A massive congratulations to the Business Chamber Singapore and Consulus for leading this global movement, and kudos to all the incredible organisations on the index! 🥂

✨We were honoured to welcome Minister Ong Ye Kung, Minister for Health and Coordinating Minister for Social Policies, to CHI INNOVATE 2025 this morning!✨

📍 At the Tri-Cluster AI Showcase in CHIRP, he explored innovations from NHG, SingHealth, and NUHS — from Healthbot to emerging AI solutions. Led by Prof Jonty Heaversedge, the tour spotlighted how AI is transforming care, enabled by platforms like CHIRP and CHISEL.

🎤 In his keynote, Minister Ong reminded us that “innovation and AI innovation are fundamentally a human, not a technological, endeavour.” He called for bold strategies, a shift toward community-based care, and thoughtful AI use: “Healthcare must be AI-enabled, not AI-decided.”

🤝 Two strategic partnerships were inked:
1️⃣ NHG x ST Engineering – to co-develop smart systems and launch an Engineering Sandbox
2️⃣ NHG x NTU LKCMedicine x Cornerstone Robotics – to advance robotic-assisted surgery

A powerful start to CHI INNOVATE 2025 — where innovation, strategy, and care come together.
