The direction of Vietnamese enterprises in the era of smart healthcare

The 32nd Vietnam International Medical and Pharmaceutical Exhibition - Vietnam Medi-Pharm 2025 brings together more than 500 booths of 375 enterprises from more than 30 countries and territories, displaying products and technologies in the fields of pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, dentistry, smart medicine, rehabilitation and medical tourism.

The trend of applying artificial intelligence in healthcare has been clearly demonstrated through the products displayed by many domestic and international businesses.

Potential and trends of smart healthcare

One of the highlights of the technology is AI-supported imaging diagnosis. The new generation of MRI, CT or X-ray systems from the companies are all integrated with AI algorithms to detect early lesions and suspicions, to support doctors in assessing diseases, tumors or vascular abnormalities. The acquired images are automatically analyzed in real time, helping to shorten the time to read films and minimize errors in diagnosis.

Artificial intelligence is a “race” where the greatest benefit will go to the users.

Ms. Bui Thi Hai Yen, Legal Director of XGY Medical Equipment Company, said that with the market's increasing trends and needs for health care, most suppliers have deployed artificial intelligence applications in imaging diagnostic devices. This is a "race" in which the greatest benefits will be for users.

For medical staff, the workload will be reduced and the quality will be increased thanks to automatic analysis and monitoring of results, avoiding small factors being overlooked. Thanks to that, patients will be guaranteed health care, avoiding unnecessary risks.

Diagnostic imaging devices are no longer simply tools but are becoming assistants for doctors in treating patients.

Mr. Vu Van Duong, Deputy Technical Director of Viet Med Medical Company Limited, shared that the application of AI in recent years has penetrated deeply into medical examination and treatment activities, helping to improve accuracy, optimize processes, and contribute to building a smarter and more modern medical system. Thanks to that, the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment for patients has been greatly improved.

It can be seen that the potential of artificial intelligence in supporting medical diagnosis, especially in the context of a shortage of doctors in the field of diagnostic imaging in many developing countries like Vietnam, is huge.

A fairly new field introduced in Vietnam is smart skin care devices. Units from Korea and China bring AI-based devices to automatically analyze skin conditions. The system can deeply identify problems such as skin pigmentation, moisture, wrinkles, pores... and give personalized treatment suggestions suitable for each user.

Combining digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) helps improve the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment.

Ms. Sophie Wang, Sales Manager of Sanhe Sano Company, shared that checking skin health and detecting abnormalities with smart solutions has been done in many countries. AI technology can help warn early signs of abnormalities, risks of skin cancer or inflammation, and then recommend to users. Thanks to that, skin care becomes more effective, scientific and accessible.

The combination of digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) not only helps improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment but also supports hospital management, remote health monitoring and optimizes medical costs. This need becomes more urgent as the population ages, epidemics become more complicated and pressure on the health system increases.

Developing smart healthcare through international cooperation

Smart healthcare cooperation between developed and developing countries today focuses on several key trends. Developed countries share advanced medical technology and train human resources to deploy smart healthcare solutions in developing countries.

Professor Nagakawa Yuichi, Head of the Department of Gastroenterology and Pediatrics; Deputy Director of Tokyo Medical University Hospital said: “We would like to share with Vietnamese experts advanced surgical methods, especially those currently being applied at Tokyo Medical University Hospital. These include modern technologies such as robotic surgery and the latest advances in cancer treatment.”

“We see that Vietnam is making impressive progress, with clear improvements in its healthcare system. We believe that cooperation between Japan and Vietnam in the healthcare sector - through human resource exchange, experience sharing and research cooperation - will contribute to improving the quality of healthcare services, bringing practical benefits to the people of both countries,” Professor Yuichi Nagakawa shared.

Mr. Do Quang Ba, Chairman of the Vietnam-Japan International Exchange Organization, assessed that through cooperation in treating patients, doctors from the two countries will have the opportunity to exchange with each other, improve understanding of new advanced techniques between the two countries, thereby supporting each other in training, improving skills, and transferring technology.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, big data and digital technology, Vietnamese enterprises show their readiness to participate deeply in the global value chain in the healthcare sector.

Many Vietnamese enterprises have proactively invested in the field of smart healthcare and AI applications, not only importing technology but also developing domestic solutions suitable for domestic characteristics. At the same time, building medical models focusing on treatment effectiveness and service quality for patients.
