The annual expenditure on healthcare, by both individuals and governments, is expected to continue increasing within the next five years. There is thus an imminent need to stretch the effectiveness of the expenditure, and explore new innovations, which can subsequently serve the needs of the rapidly ageing population, tackle the issues associated with shortage of healthcare professionals, and achieve improved clinical outcomes.

This course will explore the changing needs and trends of the healthcare industry, and how innovation can address the rising costs and inefficiencies in the healthcare systems, with a particular focus on Singapore and Asia. Students can expect to be equipped with knowledge of state-of-the-art smart healthcare technologies, as well as examine the multi-faceted impact of technology on this multi-million dollar industry, through various lenses.
