Abstract:
With the ever increasing demand and aging population, it is envisioned that adoption of AI technology will support Hospital Authority to tackle various strategic service challenges and deliver improvements.

The establishment of AI Lab and AI delivery center is aimed to flourish AI innovations by engaging internal and external collaboration for Proof of Concept development; and also to build data and integration pipeline to validate AI solution and integrate into the HA services at scale.

By leverage 3 platforms to (1) Improve awareness of HA staff (2) Match AI supply and Demand (3) data pipeline for timely prediction, we can gradually scale AI innovations and solution in Hospital Authority.
