AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

AI & Health Policy: Singapore urges organisations to adopt AI by starting with real problems, not chasing tech for its own sake, with healthcare and other sectors named as priority areas. Caregiving Costs: A Singlife study says Singapore critical illness patients can still face about S$36,000 out-of-pocket costs despite hospital insurance, with total treatment-and-recovery spending around S$169,000. Screen Time & Memory: A GUSTO-based study links heavier smartphone/screen exposure at key ages (especially around age 1 and 6) to weaker working memory and poorer later academic performance. Lung Cancer Screening: Singapore’s lung cancer screening guidance for high-risk smokers is being complemented by research into low-dose CT and AI-assisted reading, with discussion of possible benefits for some never-smokers with added risk factors. Haze Protection for Workers: A forum calls for practical haze guidelines for workers who can’t avoid being outdoors, including clear mask and break plans. Local Wellness & Prevention: Keystone Clinic & Surgery encourages Healthier SG patients to attend annual check-ins to update personalised health plans. Regional Health Risk: Indonesia’s haze from El Niño-fuelled wildfires is putting millions at risk of respiratory infections, with schools shut in affected areas. Safety & Travel: A Singaporean was injured after a tour bus overturned near Melaka, while Nepal floods leave multiple travellers missing, including two Singaporeans. Fitness & Community: Westlite’s futsal tournament shows how sport helps migrant workers unwind, stay active and bond on their day off. Sports & Studies: The Quah siblings will skip the Asian Games to pursue postgraduate studies, pausing a decorated swimming career.
