Mr. Chu Canh Chieu emphasizes that AI has become a key factor in shortening timelines, optimizing efficiency, and improving the quality of healthcare across the APAC region. AI applications in medical imaging diagnostics, big data analysis, and clinical decision support are helping countries such as China, Singapore, and Japan significantly enhance treatment processes and hospital operations. Notably, China’s DeepSeek AI system has helped reduce the burden on doctors while increasing diagnostic accuracy.

Vietnam is also keeping pace with this trend, especially within Southeast Asia. According to a report by DealStreetAsia, Vietnam currently ranks third in the region in terms of attracting investment in the healthcare sector, highlighting the strong growth potential of its healthtech industry. Vietnamese tech companies such as VinBrain, Gene Solutions, and Genetica are actively applying AI to real-world problems including image-based diagnostics, genetic decoding, and the development of electronic health records. However, the article also notes that Vietnam’s public healthcare system still faces significant challenges in adopting new technologies, mainly due to limitations in infrastructure and human resources.

Through these analyses, Mr. Chu Canh Chieu not only paints a promising picture of the future of APAC healthcare powered by AI, but also outlines the opportunities and challenges that countries in the region must navigate. AI is rapidly transforming the healthcare landscape, and nations—especially Vietnam—must take bold steps to avoid being left behind.
