Jurong public hospitals to harness AI, precision medicine
The Straits Times
|October 17, 2025
Project slated to start in 2026, with 1,000 patients set to benefit over next five years
The two public hospitals in Jurong will be harnessing precision medicine and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide their patients with more personalised care.
Patients receiving care at Jurong-Health Campus hospitals - Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH) and Jurong Community Hospital (JCH) - will undergo a phenotyping process under the Jurong Ageing Resilience Project, which is to last for five years.
Functional phenotyping is a form of precision medicine, where the patient's data, medical and psycho-social, is collected for analysis.
An Al algorithm, built and refined over the past decade using patient data from JurongHealth Campus hospitals, is then used to analyse and predict the patient's risk of physical and cognitive frailty, or the risk of metabolic diseases like diabetes.
The hospitals can then follow up with personalised care to target the risk factors and reduce these risks.
