Wai Mun Lim, Founder & CEO, Doctor Anywhere at TechWeek Singapore 2023
The rising popularity of Gen AI has led to tech companies all over the world to speak more about how they are using the technology to improve their offerings. In Southeast Asia, we have seen the use of AI by companies in the health tech and property sectors such as Doctor Anywhere and Ohmyhome.
On the second day of TechWeek Singapore, Ohmyhome Group COO and Co-Founder Race Wong presented her company’s latest feature, HomerGPT. Inspired by popular tool ChatGPT, HomerGPT provided information through the use of a chatbot. But the difference about the platform is that it provides users with information related to properties, including the potential price of the property that they own.
“The data comes from different sources; from website, social media, WhatsApp. What we do is that we pull all this data into our data pool and use our match algorithm when there is a property that is going to be sold by Ohmyhome,” Wong explains.
According to her presentation, inaccurate information on property price can cost homeowners up to S$80,000.
“The price of misinformation is very costly for every single family,” Wong explains. “We are here to empower homeowners the most powerful tools to ensure that you make the right decisions for our family.”
In the healthtech sector, Doctor Anywhere has used the AI technology at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to help predict demand for healthcare services.
The use of this tech began when the company realised that their prediction of an upcoming pandemic and when it can be expected to end is just as accurate as the government’s—if not more.
“We were able to use historical data trends and predict demands during the pandemic based on things like consultation numbers, medication, inventory, and logistics. And decide how we can handle this whole thing,” explained Wai Mun Lim, Founder & CEO, Doctor Anywhere, in his presentation.
“It is going to be a very, very profound impact on our operations because when we are able to minimise the risks, we were able to get more of this. We are able to minimise patient waiting time, provide better user experience.”
Held on October 11-12 at Marina Bay Sands, TechWeek Singapore features keynotes from renowned speakers, exhibitions from global brands, and priceless networking opportunities for tech industry players.
It features seven shows under one big event: Cloud Expo, DevOps Live, Cyber Security World, Data Centre World, Big Data & AI World, eCommerce Expo, and Technology for Marketing.
