The Centre for Healthcare Innovation (CHI), part of Tan Tock Seng Hospital, today held its annual flagship event – CHI Innovate 2022 – with the theme “The Road from Innovation to Impact”.
The CHI Innovate 2022 will discuss how healthcare innovations can be up-sized, re-focused and made more engaging, to deliver better value and impact to the people served.
More than 500 healthcare professionals participated in this year’s CHI Innovate, an annual thought leadership forum by local and overseas healthcare leaders on creating the future of healthcare together.
Urgency for Innovation
Healthcare systems worldwide will continue to face challenges presented by an ageing population, the prevalence of chronic diseases and a tight workforce.
Stressing the need to balance the “Iron Triangle” of healthcare framed by cost, accessibility and quality, the Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies, Heng Swee Keat, underlined the urgency for healthcare institutions to embrace innovation together to tackle the challenges.
The Guest of Honour for the event is Heng Swee Keat, Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies.
Keynote Speaker is Dr Janil Puthucheary, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Communications & Information and Ministry of Health.
Pursuing Excellence- National HIP
This year, there were nearly 100 submissions for the National Healthcare Innovation and Productivity (HIP) Medals, an award sponsored by the Ng Teng Fong Healthcare Innovation Programme and supported by the Ministry of Health (MOH).
Eight winning projects are recognised for their excellence in Care Redesign, Automation, IT and Robotics Innovation, Workforce Transformation, and Adoption.

Niels Faché from Keysight Technologies shares his insights on the key EDA trends impacting the pace of innovation, as more systems companies move to design their own chips and electronic products.
The electronic design automation (EDA) industry is experiencing strong financial growth and is making a vital contribution to the success of much larger semiconductor and electronic systems industries.
Trend 1: Domain-Specific Design
Electronic product design is moving toward domain-specific orientation. What impact does domain-specific design have on EDA tool developers and users?
Niels Faché:
It is not enough anymore for product developers to just consider the traditional specifications for a chip or board.
Editor’s Comments
Semiconductor chips are the brains of the modern digital era, powering the electronic devices that we use and the digital processes that run our lives.
The production of chips has gained strategic importance to nations because much of our lives are driven by chip-dependent devices, from automobiles and smartphones to the computers and servers in data centers.
It is therefore important to be cognisant of the trends shaping the future of EDA.
They must also now consider the context in which their products will be integrated and used.
Drivers of design for context in product development teams include increased system complexity, more demanding performance and cost requirement tradeoffs, and shorter development lifecycles.
To address these issues, EDA vendors and users are seeing closer collaboration in the ecosystem from developers of components (such as an RFIC), to a sub-system (such as a radar), and a system (such as an autonomous drive system) to address integration challenges and optimise performance.
Design-for-context raises several challenges and opportunities for EDA tool providers such as:

The advent of electric vehicles represents a seismic shift in thinking as well as operations. In this thought leadership opinion piece, Thomas Goetzl from Keysight Technologies shares his insights on how this introduces several challenges like pressure on the power grid and a need for sustainable and environmentally friendly material.
Automakers need to reimagine a decade-old industry to meet modern challenges.
Over the next decade, many automakers plan to transform their fleets to electric power, with some announcing goals for fully electric lineups within five years.
Automakers are making products that meet evolving industry standards for safety, emissions testing, and energy efficiency.
The surge in electric vehicles comes with infrastructure, manufacturing, and regulatory challenges that will impact the automotive industry.
They require Electric Powertrain and HEV/EV solutions that address safety, regulatory, and environmental issues.
This significant transformation represents a seismic shift in thinking as well as operations and introduces several challenges like pressure on the power grid and a need for sustainable, environmentally friendly material.

Dell research suggests that Singapore and the APJ lags the world in its “Breakthrough Benchmark” – a measure of the readiness for digital transformation.
Dell Technologies’ research from over 40 countries details how despite two years of accelerated digital transformation, only 5% of the Singapore workforce has an appetite for digital change. Click to enlarge.
I was looking through a study report from Dell on digital transformation and couldn’t help but notice that the survey results seem to indicate that Singapore and APJ seems to lag the global index for its “Breakthrough Benchmark”.
The survey of 10,500 respondents from around the world measured participants’ readiness for technological change and placed them in four benchmark groups:
- Sprint: Traiblazers ready to chase after innovation and technological change.
- Steady: Poised to adopt technological change selected by others.
- Slow: More inclined to hold back and observe / deliberate rather than take action.
- Still: Take a pessimistic view of innovation based on perceived risk. Tend to anticipate problems and resist proposed technology innovations based on perceived risk.
Respondents in the “Sprint”and “Steady” groups tend to be more confident that they or their organisation will advance in areas of technology adoption, while respondents in the “Slow” and “Still” groups are more likely to see the potential risks involved and retreat.

IFA Berlin 2022 (2-6 September) saw brands, retailers and the public return to the world’s top consumer and home electronics event in Germany.
Sustainability, Connectivity, and Smart Home solutions were the big themes at this year’s IFA Berlin 2022.
After a three-year break, and despite lockdowns and other restrictions that continue to affect parts of Asia, exhibitors took up more than 80% of floor space at the Messe Berlin fairgrounds, with brands keenly taking up the opportunity to finally reconnect face-to-face with retailers, media and the public.
“After the pandemic-related break, IFA made an impressive comeback with the most important trends for products and solutions in the fields of consumer electronics and home appliances as well as related industries, especially in the area of sustainability. It was once again the proven meeting place for industry and trade, trade visitors, the media and, of course, consumers,” said Dr. Sara Warneke, gfu’s Managing Director.
Overall attendance at IFA 2022 was strong as well, especially considering the ongoing travel restrictions in Asia.
Just over 161,000 people came to IFA Berlin during the five days of the show; compared to pre-pandemic years, industry professionals and trade visitors made up a higher proportion of all attendees.
Many exhibitors reported an unusually high number of business meetings taking place during the show.
Despite global challenges like ongoing supply chain disruption and inflationary pressures, the exhibitors at IFA 2022 recorded a huge order volume.
More details below from the press release.
