Transforming the Future of Healthcare: The Role of Medical Technology

Reflecting on his visit to the Faculty of Science in junior college, where he joined the Science Vision program featuring lectures on Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics, Dr. CHAN Taw Kuei didn't foresee that this experience would ultimately lead him to pursue his education at NUS, eventually becoming a faculty member himself. As part of our ongoing efforts to bridge the gap between theory and practice in science education, he will guide students through HSI 2014 - Science, Medical Technology, and Society. This module, which starts being offered from Semester 1, Academic Year 202223, provide a comprehensive overview of medical technology's crucial role in preserving health and well-being.

The course covers fundamental concepts from physics and biology and their synergistic application into advanced medical instrumentation used for imaging and treatment. It also delves into the importance of clinical evidence as the foundation for established medical facts versus misinformation or unproven clms, emphasizing critical thinking skills to distinguish between them. Additionally, it explores the intricate relationship between medical technology and societal challenges like chronic diseases, environmental pollution, and healthcare affordability.

Dr. Chan, who draws inspiration from his own experiences where he struggled to understand lectures as a student, prioritizes student engagement in his teaching research interests. This insight serves him well as an educator and has driven his exploration into enhancing both motivation and technology's role in the learning process.

Outside of his academic responsibilities, Dr. Chan enjoys watching e-sports and savoring coffee - activities that keep him energized to continue exploring new knowledge domns.

also highlights our commitment to promoting safety and sustnability across various departments at NUS, including Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Food Science And Technology, Mathematics, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Physics, Statistics And Data Science, Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum.
