Healthcare transformation isn’t just about new technology – it's about changing how we think. 💡 📊

Meet Assoc Prof Lam, your not-so-usual scientist who proves that impactful healthcare doesn’t only happen at the bench or bedside – it happens in systems, models and data.

As a Deputy Director of the Health Services Research Centre (HSRC) and Head of Data Science at SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Medical Centre, he combines a foundation in modelling and optimisation with data science and systems thinking to improve health services delivery at scale.

During COVID-19, his predictive modelling work across institutions including General Hospital demonstrated that healthcare capacity is not fixed – it is dynamically expandable.

Can human organoids change the future of medicine?

Singapore faces a growing disease burden driven by an ageing population. To address this, researchers from the SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Centre (AMC) are rethinking how we study human disease and discover new treatments.

The Organoid Research & InnOvative Analytics Network (ORION) brings together five labs across National Heart Centre Singapore, National Neuroscience Institute, National Cancer Centre Singapore, Sengkang General Hospital, and Duke-NUS Medical School. Their expertise encompasses cardiac, brain, cancer, skeletal muscle, intestinal and airway organoids.

ORION is breaking new ground in human organoid research with a fully automated, high-throughput imaging and robotics platform that integrates organoid generation, maintenance, whole-mount immunostaining, tissue clearing, and high-content imaging. At the same time, the team is also building an organoid biorepository of healthy and diseased organoids that aims to accelerate drug discovery and personalised medicine.

Through this collaborative effort, ORION hopes to uncover new therapeutics and disease mechanisms, translating organoid into better health outcomes for all.

This World Oral Health Day, we spotlight D-IONIC, a non-invasive, painless dental anaesthesia delivery system developed by Clin Assoc Prof Bee Tin Goh (Senior Consultant, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery) and Dr Zayim Razina Seeni Syed (Senior Research Fellow) from National Dental Centre Singapore - NDCS.

As D-IONIC move towards clinical trials with support from SingHealth Intellectual Property (SHIP) and SingHealth Technology Incubator (SCOUT), it exemplifies how a strong translational ecosystem within the SingHealth Duke-NUS research community is essential in turning research into real-world impact for patients.

“By combining technological innovation with a strong foundation in intellectual property, we have successfully advanced D-IONIC, positioning it for clinical translation and market impact. The invaluable guidance from SHIP & SCOUT has empowered our team to adeptly navigate the complex IP landscape, ensuring robust patent protection. Their advice on technology development, commercialisation pathways and regulatory matters has been crucial in ensuring our innovation is both technically sound and commercially viable.” - Dr Zayim Razina Seeni Syed, Senior Research Fellow & Co-I

Lipoprotein(a) – Lp(a) – levels have always been thought to be stable in adult life.

Researchers from Changi General Hospital (CGH) discovered that there was significant variability in blood Lp(a) levels of patients with ischaemic heart disease when admitted to hospital for acute cardiac issues. At higher Troponin T level (marker of severity of myocardial injury), there was a higher proportion of patients with falsely lowered Lp(a) levels.

Their findings suggest that patients with elevated Troponin T and those with borderline Lp(a) levels would benefit from repeat Lp(a) testing outside their acute admissions to better assess their true Lp(a) levels for more accurate risk stratification.

Over 70 attendees joined SingHealth Technology Incubator (SCOUT)’s webinar on Challenges and Opportunities of Health Innovation Entering China!

A big thank you to Mr John Cao, CEO of Plano, for sharing invaluable insights and sparking lively discussion from product-market fit to finding the right partner and Dr Danny Belkin, Director of SCOUT for moderating the session.

Expansion into a new market such as China can be challenging, but the session showed how a strategic and resourceful approach can increase the chances of success.

Thank you to everyone who tuned in! We look forward to seeing you at the next SCOUT webinar!

An ageing population significantly impacts the global burden of oral diseases. Given that oral diseases are chronic, progressive, and cumulative, older adults are likely to experience an accumulation of these conditions, which can adversely affect their quality of life

Researchers from National Dental Centre Singapore - NDCS and Duke-NUS Medical School conducted a study to review the association between oral health conditions and older adults' general health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL).

Their results showed fewer teeth and chewing difficulty negatively impacted HRQoL, with chewing difficulty emerging as a novel finding in systematic reviews.
