Spotlight on PX: digital tech to enable patient-centricity and agile care

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 5, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – What does the future of patient experience (PX) look like, and how do healthcare providers – working with limited resources – get there?

From what we hear from healthcare leaders, “patient-centricity” and “agility” will very much be at the heart of PX moving forward.

This means keeping a close ear on the ground to understand patients’ evolving needs, as well as new emerging knowledge or tools, and quickly adapting and responding to them.

The future of patient experience will be one of the key topics of discussion at the Hospital Management Asia conference, coming up 5 to 6 September 2023 in Kuala Lumpur.

Speakers will delve into the concept of care pathways or integrated workflows across the patient journey: which starts from before the patient books an appointment and steps into the facility, to after they are discharged.

Key Speakers:

Nadiah Wan, Chief Executive Officer of Thomson Hospital Kota Damansara, will be sharing her hospital’s work around establishing integrated workflows to enhance patient centricity.

Her hospital has built a real-time dashboard, which pulls together data across clinical and operational units, and across different patient touchpoints – allowing for quick data analysis to obtain actionable insights. With an integrated digital system combining access to medical records, billing processes and order supplies, the hospital now enjoys more seamless and efficient operations.

Dhillon Singh (Vice President, Customer Experience Management of HMI Group) will share how care providers can deliver more accessible stepdown care for patients after their discharge.

This includes providing patients with easy access to clinical advice post-discharge, whether they return home or are transferred to separate care facility; as well as making care information accessible to caregivers.

He will also speak on the role of digital platforms in enabling these. An example is creating a secure ‘passport’ holding the patient’s health information, which secondary care providers can refer to for better and faster decision-making.

The case for improving patient experience goes beyond patient loyalty and business outcomes.

Several studies have shown the association between good patient experience and improved clinical outcomes. For example, patients who report good care experience and communication with providers adhere better to medical advice and treatment plans. Studies of heart attack patients showed that those who had more positive care experiences had better health outcomes a year after discharge.

For providers looking at ways to improve their PX, measuring their existing programme and identifying gaps is a good place to start.

Keen to improve patient experience at your facility? Hear from Dhillon and Nadiah at the session “Creating agile care pathways to future proof patient experience for both chronic and non-chronic diseases”, part of the Patient Experience track at HMA 2023 conference.

10 winners stand out at Start-up Express

HONG KONG, Jul 4, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The sixth edition of Start-up Express, an entrepreneurship development programme organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), came to a successful conclusion today. The judging panel at the in-person Final Pitching, held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, selected 10 winning start-ups from 20 finalists. The My Favourite Start-up Award, decided through live polling of the audience, was awarded to Meat The Next, while the ESG Award went to Negawatt Technology in recognition of its sustainable and socially impactful business solution. The 10 winning teams will participate in a series of local and international events to develop their businesses by building connections, exploring markets, seeking partners and enhancing brand awareness.
The Start-up Express Final Pitching winners pictured together with the judging panel and special guests.


The record number of applications for Start-up Express 2023 reflected the great enthusiasm of Hong Kong's entrepreneurs. The 20 finalists come from diverse sectors such as ed tech, con (construction) tech & prop tech, fintech, health tech, as well as metaverse, Web 3.0, smart city, HR tech and food tech. More than 100 industry players were invited to attend the Final Pitching Day in person, including investors, business leaders, representatives from overseas entities and more. Booths were also set up during the event to showcase Start-up Express past winners and finalists, in addition to demo-pitch from secondary school teams.

Stephen Liang, Assistant Executive Director of the HKTDC, said Hong Kong start-ups were highly adaptive and had shown great resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. "We're still at an initial phase of post-COVID-19 recovery, when the global economic outlook is still uncertain. Investors remain conservative, and start-ups are in need of more support. Finalists of this year's Start-up Express have developed products with advanced technology, and they have great potential to become unicorns. With business matching via HKTDC's physical and online platforms to help start-ups connect with international investors and partners, we will step up efforts to promote local innovations to the world, and grasp post-COVID-19 opportunities," Mr Liang said.

Diverse opportunities offered to winning start-ups

Final Pitching contestants presented innovative business ideas and responded to questions raised by a distinguished panel of judges. This year's judging panel comprises five renowned industry experts: Jason Chiu, Chairman of Hong Kong Startup Council; Gordon Yen, Chairman of Hong Kong Business Angel Network; Winnie Han, Head of China Issuer Services/ Senior Vice President, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited; Ben Cheng, President and Chief Executive Officer of C Capital; and Danny Yeung, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Prenetics. The 10 winning start-ups are: Big Bang Academy, DimOrder, Haofood, Kodifly, Meat the Next, Moongate, Negawatt Technology, Neuropix, Rocket Academy, and Syngular Technology (click here to download the list of winners and their company profiles). The HKTDC will arrange a series of exposure opportunities through which the winning teams can interact with buyers and investors.

Outstanding presentations at Final Pitching

Jason Chiu, Chairman of Hong Kong Startup Council is a third-time judge of the programme. He said: "I am thrilled to participate in this year's Final Pitching. Entering its sixth edition, Start-up Express' competition is fiercer than ever, and each team displayed enormous growth potential. The industry verticals of the finalists this year were also more diverse, ranging from Web3.0 to con tech, which demonstrates their innovative thinking and proves the capability of Hong Kong tech talents. It is encouraging to see how vibrant the Hong Kong start-up ecosystem is becoming, with the number of start-ups increasing over the past few years. The winning teams this year will leverage the unique platform of Start-up Express to obtain more business opportunities and connections, and explore the Mainland and overseas markets."

Danny Yeung, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Prenetics, who led his start-up to unicorn status, gave insightful advice to the finalists. He said: "It is definitely challenging for early-stage companies to gain a foothold in competitive markets. I am happy to see that the HKSAR government is strengthening its support to the innovative & tech sector; Start-up Express is also a meaningful programme for start-ups to connect with investors and business leaders. He also cheered for start-ups: "The journey of building a start-up is never easy. Founders must keep an eye on the latest market trends and make unremitting efforts, in order to scale-up in the challenging business environment."

Grasping the market pulse and building a global network

Start-up Express gives start-ups the chance to promote their business ideas. They can take part in exhibitions in Mainland China and overseas, and investor meetings in Hong Kong and the mainland. They can also strengthen their business networks, as well as expand their markets and businesses through the exposure they have gained.

Dr Martin Zhu, Co-founder of i2Cool, a winner last year, said: "Through Start-up Express, we have unlocked many publicity opportunities. HKTDC's global network also helped us obtain many new customers from all over the world. For example, at last year's Entrepreneur Day, we met with a construction company from the Philippines, and signed a large-amount business order with them on the spot. All of these are valuable opportunities offered by Start-up Express."

Start-up Express International returns in December

The HKTDC has always given its full support to Hong Kong's entrepreneurial ecosystem, helping to maintain the city's status as a competitive business centre and hub for innovation. Launched in 2022, Start-up Express International has attracted participants from around the world, including the United States, Germany, Japan, Korea, Turkey, Singapore and more. 10 winners were selected and exchange sessions were arranged between them and the Hong Kong start-up winners. Start-up Express International will return during Entrepreneur Day in December. The HKTDC will support the winning international start-ups to set up their businesses in Hong Kong, as well as to explore the mainland and Greater Bay Area markets.

HKTDC takes Hong Kong to Bangkok

BANGKOK, Jul 4, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is taking its Think Business, Think Hong Kong (TBTHK) signature promotion event to Bangkok next week. The event will showcase Hong Kong as a resilient innovation hub where businesses from around the world can seize opportunities. TBTHK will run on 13-14 July at Centara Grand and Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld, where the Hong Kong and Thai business communities will explore partnership opportunities through exhibition, seminars and networking activities.
Mr Ronald Ho, Regional Director, South East Asia and South Asia of the HKTDC


Mr Ronald Ho, Regional Director, South East Asia and South Asia of the HKTDC said at the press luncheon, "Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has a long history of close economic ties with Hong Kong and is the city's second-largest trading partner in merchandise trade. The TBTHK in Bangkok will highlight Hong Kong's offerings in ASEAN, as well as provide additional impetus for promoting regional trade and investment partnerships and creating opportunities through regional economic and supply chain integration."

"Our main goal is to promote Hong Kong's strengths in merchandises and services and introduce the city's latest developments, demonstrating to the Thai business community that Hong Kong is the premier international business hub in Asia, as well as an investment and business platform for Thai enterprises to maximise China opportunities. Simultaneously, we will showcase how the Thai, mainland and Hong Kong business communities can collaborate to create mutually beneficial business opportunities and maintain long-standing close business and trade ties."

"These opportunities are made possible by strong, visionary planning by governments, as well as free trade agreements such as FTAs and Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), that provide a framework for regional cooperation." Ronald added.

Hong Kong is at the geographic heart of Asia and serves as an international financial centre with distinct advantages such as providing trusted legal, financial, investment and tax systems, producing high quality, innovative and creative products and services for trade, and serving as the pre-eminent access point to explore and develop business links and markets with Mainland China, the ASEAN and beyond.

The city is a bridge between the mainland and the world. Its role as a two-way platform for the flow of capital, goods, information and people is as important as ever. Development plans such as the Belt and Road Initiative and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) Development Plan create new prospects, expanding Hong Kong's role as a hub for finance, trade, logistics and cultural exchange. Hong Kong is the ideal partner for Thai companies seeking to tap the vast opportunities from the GBA and international markets.

This year, this signature promotion event will be a holistic platform where the Thai trade community can learn about Hong Kong's role as an ideal gateway for them to tap into mainland and international markets. Building on the strong trade ties between Hong Kong and Thailand, a Trade Expo showcasing high-quality and innovative products from more than 100 Hong Kong exhibitors, including Chow Tai Fook, Green Common, B.Duck, Vita Green, Memorigin, Smart City consortium and more. This would help Hong Kong companies introduce high-quality products to the regional market, while Thai companies may identify potential business partners and supply chains for business collaborations.

During today's press luncheon, a wide range of Hong Kong's innovative and creative quality products ranging from fashion & lifestyle, home & gifts, sustainable & green sectors were showcased to Thai media as a trade expo preview.

Featured products include the following:

– Kapture's tote bags, which combine BioNTex(TM) antiviral tech and upcycled fabric from garment production;
– Iconic Camel flasks, which have championed vacuum technology since 1940's;
– Temporis watches – designed for stylish youngsters, these high-quality timepieces boast K1 crystals instead of tempered glass. This is a major upgrade in comparison to other wristwatches in this price category;
– Romago watches – this luxury Swiss watch brand originated its business in deluxe custom-made timepieces or collectors. Nowadays the brand is focusing on timepieces with sleek designs using unique materials and new manufacturing technologies refining the traditional diving watches.
– Derangedsign, a dynamic design studio based in Hong Kong will showcase its Coexistence set which includes two trays designed as sculptures in landscape shapes. Ideal for serving fruits, candy, nuts and jewellery, these trays have received many international awards and accolades;
– B.Duck, the main IP-ed brand of Hong Kong's famous product design company, Semk Products Ltd. will present its legendary duck-shaped lamps.

In addition to the Trade Expo, a Trade Talks series solidifying Hong Kong's competitive advantage as a trading hub will be held during the event period. Experts from renowned retail groups, associations and innovative companies will gather at the Trade Talks to shed lights on a plethora of hot topics, such as Innovating the Future of Retail, Maximising Business Opportunities through Licensing, Re-shaping E-commerce and Embracing Sustainability & ESG.

A giveaway session on the second day of the event (14 July) will offer prizes including smart phones, Tourbillion, tablets and more. Participants may have a chance to win air tickets during the event period.

PhilSec leapfrogs to the top with the strong support from NPC & CICC

MANILA, Jun 27, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – At a time when the Philippines is battling a diverse spectrum of cybercrimes, organisations within the country are oozing as much as $1 million to recover from the attacks. Considered as the biggest hindrance to its growing digital economy, cybercrime has become a national concern.

Quite naturally, 43% of the private companies have increased their fund allocation for cybersecurity solutions and are on the lookout for the best cybersecurity vendors and a collaborative space that can develop cutting-edge counter-intelligence against cybercrimes. Even the Philippines' Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has earmarked a budget of $10.9 million for achieving maturity level 5 which is the "resilient enterprise" level in the next five years.

While cybersecurity is gradually getting incorporated at the core of businesses, PhilSec the country's most sought-after cybersecurity event is back to expedite the process with its highly focused platform. With its third annual edition happening on 4-5 July at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila, PhilSec 2023 is going to host more than 600 pre-qualified cybersecurity experts including the Heads of Information Security, Risk, Compliance, Forensics and Cyber Law from the leading public and private enterprises across the Philippines.

But that's not it! PhilSec 2023 will be followed by a glamorous evening with Awards & Gala Dinner on 6 July 2023 from 5 – 9 PM, to shine a spotlight on the region's best cybersecurity talents across numerous competitive categories and further celebrate their excellence with a lavish spread of delicacies and cocktails.

Recognizing the platform's past efforts in forging groundbreaking partnerships and upgrading the country's cybersecurity landscape, the upcoming edition has joined hands with National Privacy Commission (NPC) & Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) who have stepped forward as the "Official Supporting Partners" for the event.

In a statement issued, post confirming National Privacy Commission's support for the event, John Henry D. Naga (Privacy Commissioner and Chairman, National Privacy Commission) stated, "The commitment of PhilSec 2023 to fostering a secure digital environment aligns with our mission to protect the privacy rights of individuals and uphold cybersecurity standards in the Philippines. We are pleased to partner with PhilSec and the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center to promote collaborative efforts in combating cybercrimes. By fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing, this summit plays a crucial role in safeguarding the digital economy and protecting the privacy of our citizens. We commend PhilSec for its efforts and look forward to a successful event."

In just a short span of 2 years, the event has come a long way as it has emerged as one of the most trusted platforms in the Philippines for cybersecurity. It's perhaps the reason why numerous leading solution providing companies have already confirmed their spot for showcasing their latest products and solutions at PhilSec 2023. The list includes Recorded Future, CrowdStrike, BeyondTrust, Fortanix, Riskrecon, Tekmark Group, AppSealing, SANS Institute, ThriveDX, Swimlane, Synology, BlueVoyant, Parasoft, YesWeHack, GTIS, Netskope, M.Tech, Symantec, Broadcom, Lumify Work Philippines, ITDEPOT Inc and others.

One of the key speakers at PhilSec last year who has again confirmed her participation for this year's edition, Mary Rose E. Magsaysay (CICSO, Deputy Executive Director, Cybercrime Investigation and Coordination Center) expressed her excitement for the event, "Going beyond simply reacting to cybercrime and pushing for massive awareness is inadequate as lead in protecting the Philippine Public and Private Sector as government is lead so CICC is happy to leapfrog the hybrid world to a cyber secure economic future and this partnership is the best public interphasing opportunity for us."

The reach of the event has been so far and wide that it has also gathered support from other very reputable organisations which include CyberSecurity Philippines CERT, Women in Security Alliance Philippines (WiSAP) and National ICT Confederation of the Philippines (NICP). These organisations are the "Association Partners" for the event.

Mary Joy Abueg (President, National ICT Confederation of the Philippines) another key speaker expressed her organisation's vision behind associating with the event, "PhilSec events have been a constant key factor in CyberSecurity cognizance thus the National ICT Confederation of the Philippines is in full support to its agendas as we share the same passion and compassion in sharing best practices, pushing for a responsible ICT development and creating more opportunities for digital growth! We always look forward to participating this kind of event and NICP is truly honoured to be chosen as one the Association Partner's for PhilSec 2023."
