The health systems in Asia-Pacific experienced varying levels of modern transformation over the past year. In a post-pandemic world, it has increasingly become clear that digitalization has descended from global networks to individual clinics. Due to their unmistakable support for enhancing doctor efficiency and patient outcomes, AI and online care models remained the craze in healthcare. What steps could be taken to transform modern health in the new year? Healthcare IT News surveyed APAC’s medical IT contractors to get their opinions on and expectations for wellness IT in 2025. Which medical technologies pattern will your nation continue to have in 2025? What new styles can we anticipate for the upcoming season? Dr Tawan Chitchulanon, Director, Princ Hospital Suvarnabhumi, ThailandFollowing the global trend and support by the Thai Government, the trend of using AI in healthcare, telemedicine, and digital personal data will]increase ] in Thailand. In order to have continuity of care with higher rate and less problem, personal information will be more connected and transferred among facilities, people, third-party earners, and more. Meanwhile, government hospitals in Thailand have ]started installing ] telemedicine kiosks to]provide more ] healthcare coverage. A HIS that can be connected to most Artificial technology has been created by The Princ Healthcare Group. For instance, we are considering using AI to assist physicians in optometry, such as the forecast of ocular diseases, as well as neuroscience and radiology. Northern Queensland Primary Health Network ( NQPHN), Australia’s Operations Director, Janine Cox, hopes to see an increase in video telehealth use in residential aged care facilities. 39 Visionflex wagons with USB products on the ground in our area are currently in use to provide more cost-effective electronic care options. More common practices are utilizing GoShare technology for digital literacy, patient education, and registration into continuous quality improvement initiatives, as well as the Inca shared wellness record and attention planning device that connects patients and their care team. Higher usage of our Main Feel device is expected to be used for individual medication alerts, patients at risk of hospitalisation, and those with missing care interventions, for example, where immunisations are expected or for healthcare reviews. Additionally, it’s possible that there will be more dynamic and interactive community health dashboards for common practices that are members of NQPHN’s data program. This software enables techniques to collaborate with patient organizations to provide recalls for health assessments. Key Sense is already being used in practice as an removal tool to import data into reports. NQPHN is collaborating with another Queensland Public Health and Queensland Health to improve the link of data between various medical levels. To detect any gaps or barriers that may result from the data collected in healthcare settings and to observe a patient through their entire care journey. Based on the most recent changes to health legislation ( sharing by default ), we anticipate the most recent updates to the MyHealth app for consumers. The use of the game will become more popular with consumers and doctors as a result of easier access to electronic treatments. A new client plan spearheaded by the Department of Health and Aged Care may encourage more shoppers and companies to use it. HIEs ( Health Information Exchanges ) appear to be developing where system integration is lacking. We look forward to keeping track of the progress made across the country and determining where principal care fits into this type of data sharing. Ling Su Yuen, Chief Architect, Synapxe, SingaporeAI and large language models ( LLM) have dominated the tech innovation conversation, particularly in healthcare, and they will remain big trends for 2025. However, I’m particularly excited about the untapped potential of the Internet of Things ( IoT ) in reshaping healthcare. Truly, IoT has been around for some period but it is an evolving field, and its possible in medical is great in areas like real-time surveillance, asset tracking, and supply chain optimisation. Healthcare uses medical devices extensively, these need to be tracked and managed effectively. Imagine the potential for life-saving outcomes from integrating medical systems with predictive analytics to improve pandemic preparedness by monitoring early indicators from logistics networks, community health activities, and medical facilities. Looking ahead, another area that we expect to focus more on is empowering tech-savvy users, such as public healthcare clinicians, to develop custom applications that improve their own productivity. We can do this by adopting a more formal approach that enables them to participate in digital transformation while ensuring organizational security and compliance. This gives clinicians more room to think creatively and effectively address operational issues. The advancement toward frictionless cloud migration is another development that is anticipated. Simplifying the transition of legacy systems to cloud environments will be a critical focus, enabling greater agility, scalability, and accessibility in healthcare operations. In addition, we have also been exploring the emerging field of quantum computing, particularly its implications for cryptography. Quantum resilience is a crucial ability for the future, and we would need to get ready for the discontinuity of some cryptographic techniques to keep up with technological advancement. Dr. Katharine See, Chief Health Outcomes Officer and Director of Respiratory Medicine, Northern Health, Australia These tools will increase the effectiveness of treatment and improve patient outcomes while reducing the workload of clinicians. They were initially focused on automation and process improvements. Our goal at Northern Health is to use AI to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of care by tailoring and personalising treatments, reducing the administrative burden on our clinicians, and enabling them to focus more on patient care as we move toward 2025. Implementing AI for imaging and pathology interpretation, starting with a pilot in a cardiac point-of-care ultrasound, deploying AI scribes to streamline documentation, and integrating AI-powered clinician assistants for real-time patient data summaries to turn complex patient data into actionable insights. We think that the adoption of these AI tools will enable us to deliver the health outcomes that our patients and the community value most. Dr Yuichi Tamura, CEO, CardioIntelligence, Japan In 2025, I expect the continued evolution of AI-assisted diagnostics and remote health monitoring solutions aimed at supporting Japan’s ageing population and enhancing chronic disease management as a copilot for healthcare providers. Rustom Lawyer, Augnito, IndiaI think some of the new trends to expect would be: Voice-based and ambient AI: Beyond conventional speech recognition, ambient AI technologies will emerge to document clinical encounters automatically. The AI automatically gathers and organizes data in the background, reducing administrative errors and burdens, allowing doctors to concentrate on the patient. Insurance-funded models and integrated platforms: As India shifts from out-of-pocket spending toward a more insurance-funded model ( supported by a proposed increase in healthcare budget allocation from 1 % to 2.5 % of GDP by 2025 ), digital platforms will begin the process of unifying medical records, insurance claims, and reimbursements in a seamless ecosystem. Personalized, preventive care: AI and advanced analytics will enable highly targeted interventions ranging from proactive screenings for early disease detection to personalised treatment plans based on a patient’s genomic and clinical data. Collaborative AI ecosystems: We will see more public-private partnerships ( e. g., government initiatives combined with startup innovation ). The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission in India exemplifies how collaborative efforts can establish standards for AI validation and research, thereby boosting healthcare efficiency and innovations at the highest level. As the demand for healthcare continues to grow in the Australian and New Zealand communities, shortages of frontline clinical staff are accelerating a focus on digitising clinical workflows, reducing frontline staff’s workload, expanding the capacity of the healthcare system, and improving patient access to care. We’re seeing more and more people using digital patient pathway and digital medical record systems. Through these tools, hospitals can obtain high-quality, clinically relevant data from patients throughout the duration of their stay in the hospital. _Responses have been updated and condensed to be concise and accurate.
