Smart Health Asia attracts more than 3,200 attendees for inaugural Singapore event

The first edition of Smart Health Asia brought together 3,218 attendees at the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Singapore, positioning the event as a new regional forum for digital health and healthcare innovation.

Over two days, the conference hosted more than 80 panel discussions across three stages, covering topics including artificial intelligence, digital health ecosystems, precision medicine, smart hospitals, cybersecurity, data-driven healthcare and the future of patient care.

The programme featured nearly 150 speakers from 18 countries, including healthcare executives, policymakers, researchers, investors and technology providers.

Organisers said more than 2,000 business meetings took place during the event, reflecting demand for networking and commercial engagement across the healthcare technology sector.

Alongside the conference, exhibitors showcased digital health, HealthTech and MedTech solutions spanning AI-powered diagnostics, predictive analytics, electronic health records, telemedicine, remote patient monitoring and healthcare system integration.

The organisers have confirmed that Smart Health Asia will return to Singapore on 7–8 July 2027. The next edition will also introduce Smart Pharma Asia, a dedicated platform focused on pharmaceutical innovation alongside digital health and medical technology.

The Singapore launch is part of a broader international expansion. Messe Berlin also plans to launch Smart Health Europe in Berlin in October 2027, creating a sister event focused on healthcare innovation across Europe.

Smart Health Asia is organised by Messe Berlin as an international conference and exhibition focused on digital health, medical technology and healthcare innovation.
