An artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can predict the risk one has for developing diabetes or high cholesterol will be made available to healthcare providers from early 2027, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on Thursday (March 5).By assessing factors including the age and medical history of a patient, the Assisted Chronic Disease Explanation using AI (ACE-AI) tool could help detect such health conditions earlier, he told Parliament during the Ministry of Health's (MOH) Committee of Supply debate.A person detected to be at high risk for diabetes and/or hyperlipidaemia by ACE-AI has more than a 75 per cent chance of being diagnosed within the next three years.The tool will be rolled out to Healthier SG general practitioner (GP) clinics and polyclinics from 2027.
