Health inequity is more pronounced in the face of adversity. Be it the recent COVID-19, the tsunami that happened in the Indian Ocean in 2004, or the earthquake in Haiti 2010, all these disasters make the crevices in our Healthcare more visible. Ian, a medical doctor by profession, learning from his own experiences as a volunteer in disaster-affected places, believes that Medical Innovation or MedTech can truly help to democratize Healthcare by reducing health inequity. However, we need to innovate purposefully and in this talk Ian shares how as a society we can do that. Ian Mathews is an Emergency Medicine Physician practising in Singapore, with the National University Health System (NUHS). He has an avid interest in global health and technology’s application to healthcare, particularly in emerging fields such as blockchain, medical devices and artificial intelligence. Part of his hospital role includes data analytics and developing artificial intelligence solutions for clinical problems. Outside of work, Ian helps MedTech start-ups in various fields to navigate the complex journey of MedTech. Ian firmly believes that technological solutions can provide greater access to healthcare and help reducing inequity in global healthcare delivery.
