Siriraj Hospital‘s Faculty of Medicine, under Mahidol University, is partnering with local artificial intelligence (AI) start-up, Cariva (Thailand), to utilise AI technology in enhancing medical treatment and developing innovative medical products and services. This collaboration is aimed at solidifying Thailand’s reputation as a medical hub and facilitating the export of AI-driven healthcare innovations to the Asia-Pacific region.

 

Dr Apichat Asavamongkolkul, the faculty dean at the hospital, underscored the potential of AI during the memorandum of understanding signed with Cariva. Apichat believes that the integration of AI into their services can help address a shortage of physicians, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and improve medical treatment by offering personalised care. The partnership also envisages nurturing medical AI and medtech start-ups.

 

Dr Cherdchai Nopmaneejumruslers, the deputy dean for service innovation and organisational values, asserted that the project would contribute to strengthening the AI medical ecosystem in Thailand. By automating certain tasks, AI can assist medical staff who are burdened with excessive workloads.
