WELCOME TO APTOS 2018!


Dear Friends and Colleagues,
 
On behalf of the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC), we would like to extend a warm invitation to attend the 3rd Asia Pacific Tele-Ophthalmology Society (APTOS) Symposium on July 7-8, 2018 in Singapore.
 
Machine learning is improving diagnostics, predicting outcomes, and will revolutionize personalized care for our patients. Healthcare industries worldwide are undergoing a major transformation through the use of advanced analytics and big data technologies. Analytics-assisted medicine may become an integral part of ophthalmology practices in the future.
 
The 3rd APTOS Symposium would cover exciting topics such as practicality and regulatory implications of big data analytics and AI in tele-ophthalmology, including ethical challenges of using big data in our public healthcare systems. Our invited speakers will share their insights on how big data analytics and AI can be an effective tool to gain insight into real-world diagnostic, preventive and treatment patterns of ophthalmic conditions, to deliver the best care to patients.
 
Located at the southern tip of the Malaysian Peninsula, Singapore is an island nation that enjoys a year round tropical climate. This vibrant and cosmopolitan city is home to about six million people and boasts of historical and cultural landmarks, bustling shopping centers and many more exciting tourist attractions. Singapore’s reputation as a culinary paradise will not disappoint; the island offers a wide variety of flavours and choices.
 
We look forward to welcoming you to Singapore in 2018!
 
Yours sincerely,

Dr Gavin Tan
Congress President, 3rd APTOS Symposium
Council Member, APTOS
