Healthspan Gap in Singapore: Singaporeans are living longer (life expectancy 83.9 in 2025), but experts warn the “healthy years” gap is widening—MOH estimates about 75 years in good health, with many facing ill health, frailty or disability for close to a decade. Longevity with Purpose: At AIA’s Healthcare Summit, leaders pushed beyond lifespan to healthspan, linking wellbeing to social connection, habits, community and financial security, and highlighting that many Singaporeans see longer life as anxiety-inducing. Cybersecurity & Healthcare Risk: MAS banned a former Standard Chartered staffer for unauthorised access to customer records, while South Korea issued an alert about the Gunra ransomware strain spreading across healthcare, public services and finance. Sleep & School Start Times: MOE data suggests Primary 5 and Secondary 3 students average ~7 hours on school days; a forum argues for a system-wide pilot to test later start times with transport and care partners. AI in Eye Care: A study reviews AI-assisted detection of macular OCT abnormalities by optometrists, pointing to faster, more consistent retinal screening. Online Safety: Brazil ordered Discord to suspend live streams after a teen suicide case, citing weak protections for children and adolescents. Agri-Food in Singapore: Walmart, PepsiCo, Nestlé and Microsoft joined the Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Summit speaker lineup in Suntec (Oct 27–29). Local Health Business Data: Catalyst Performance published Healthspan Audit findings from 1,000+ Singapore adults, with many scoring in lower readiness bands.
