Smart Health Asia unveils the future of digital healthcare in Singapore

Smart Health Asia (SHA) is set to become Asia Pacific’s premier digital health trade show when it launches in Singapore on 1–2 July 2026, bringing together healthcare leaders, policymakers and technology innovators to advance healthcare delivery and improve patient outcomes through digital innovation and collaboration.

Taking place at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre, the event will convene decision-makers from across the healthcare and technology ecosystem to explore how digital solutions are reshaping care delivery across the region.

The two-day conference programme spans three curated tracks — Visionary, Transformation and Digitalisation — addressing critical themes including digital health infrastructure, smart hospital strategies, AI-driven diagnostics, remote care models, data interoperability, cloud architectures, cybersecurity, investment trends and regulatory developments.

Confirmed participating organisations include the Ministries of Health of Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei; Singapore’s Office for Healthcare Transformation (MOHT); Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare; and leading hospital groups and institutions such as Apollo Hospitals, Samsung Medical Center, Kyoto University Hospital, Siriraj Hospital, St. Luke’s Medical Centre, Sunway Medical Centre, KPJ Healthcare, Siloam Hospitals Group, Institut Jantung Negara, Monash Health and Taichung Veterans General Hospital, among others.

Singapore’s healthcare ecosystem will be strongly represented, with C-suite speakers from SingHealth and its institutions — including Singapore General Hospital, Changi General Hospital, Sengkang General Hospital, SingHealth Polyclinics, the National Cancer Centre Singapore and the National Heart Centre Singapore — alongside leaders from the National University Health System and NHG Health.

Private healthcare providers including IHH Healthcare, Raffles Hospital, Thomson Medical, Fullerton Health, Parkway Shenton, Minmed Group, Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital and Ren Ci Hospital will also participate, offering a balanced mix of strategic, clinical and technology perspectives for policymakers, digital health practitioners and industry leaders.

The exhibition will serve as a marketplace for innovation, with more than 200 companies expected to showcase advancements in digital health, from AI-enabled diagnostics and automation systems to digital therapeutics and connected care platforms.
