Healthcare sector to speed up use of AI for better service
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging diagnostics helps doctors reduce working time and make decisions faster with higher accuracy, Dr Mai Hong Son from the Military Hospital 108 shared at a medical conference in Da Nang city on the weekend.
Vietnam now has a population of more than 100 million people, about 1,400 public hospitals, more than 350 private hospitals and more than 50,000 clinics, the Ministry of Health reported. According to the ministry of health, Vietnam’s healthcare sector has been speeding up AI research and the use of technology in medical treatment as well as digital transformation of health care. One million people will be screened for diseases through an artificial intelligence (AI) platform during a volunteer programme for community health, the Vietnam Young Physicians’ Association (VYPA) proposed.
