A new diploma course to train health coaches and community health professionals in AI-enabled, digitally-driven care will launch next year in Singapore. Private education provider Kingston International College (KIC) has partnered with 1doc, the healthcare training arm of fin-medtech company iAPPS Health Group, to co-develop the programme in response to the pressing healthcare workforce shortage.
The course will incorporate a range of technologies, including proprietary AI-driven digital health tools for biological age scoring, continuous glucose monitoring, digital twin tracking, and decision support for risk alerts, red flag detection, and triage. It will also include the EMR system for clinical documentation training, weight management app , and learning management system for interactive lessons, assessments, and reflective journaling. Case-based virtual scenarios and digital simulations for common clinic workflows, such as telehealth communication and EMR usage, will also be introduced.
The programme's success will be gauged through graduates' employment and clinical deployment within six months, digital health competencies, performance in capstone projects, and measurable gains in patient engagement and health literacy. Collaborating with employers helps us deliver graduates with recognised qualifications and practical expertise, ready to contribute from day one.
