AI Empowers Preventive Healthcare Survey Report Sharing on Hong Kong People's Health Awareness

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 28 October 2025 - "Prevention is better than cure" is a common saying that reflects the concept of "preventive healthcare," which advocates for citizens to proactively manage their health in daily life to reduce the future financial burden of treating illness. This year's Policy Address stated that, to address the challenges brought by an aging population, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and pressure on healthcare resources, the Government would deepen healthcare system reform, including strengthening primary healthcare. The government is also promoting the development of AI+, empowering governance and industries with AI to enhance people's livelihood. Healthcare is a significant use case for AI, while AI health technology investments are highly favored by the market. International research indicates that preventive healthcare projects have a faster valuation growth than conventional medical care.

Today, Cyberport, eHealth Consortium, and innovative health technology company LIVE4WELL jointly organized the "AI-driven Preventive Healthcare Launch Event" and invited prominent experts to share their insights. A survey report titled "Hong Kong People's Awareness, Behavioral Patterns, and Support Expectations for 'Preventive Healthcare'" was also shared at the event, revealing a growing demand among the public for AI-powered, data driven and personalized technologies. The on-site AI health screening devices were also highly appealing to participants, including a 30-second AI retinal imaging, which can identify up to 55 health risk factors such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Hon. Mr. Duncan CHIU, HKSAR Legislative Council Member (Technology & Innovation) and Ms. Joyce CHEUNG, JP, Assistant Head, Chief Executive's Policy Unit were invited as the guests of honor and officiated the launch ceremony with three co-organizers.

Ir. Eric CHAN, Chief Public Mission Officer of Cyberport, stated, "With the growing challenges of an ageing population and the rise of chronic illnesses, the idea of 'preventive care' not only addresses societal shifts but also sets a key course for advancing health management. Artificial intelligence is transforming how we approach healthcare, using data-driven insights and personalized solutions to empower people to proactively manage their well-being in daily life. This also aligns with the paradigm shift of Hong Kong's Public Primary Healthcare policy from Treatment to Prevention and the establishment of District Health Centers, reinforcing the importance of early intervention and community-based support. As Hong Kong's digital tech hub and AI accelerator, Cyberport is committed to driving AI applications in healthcare and fostering cross-sector collaboration. Today's event showcases AI's transformative impact on health and marks a significant step toward a smarter, healthier future for Hong Kong."

Dr. Charleston SIN, President, eHealth Consortium, said, "The Hong Kong Government has expressed its hope to develop Hong Kong into a health and medical innovation hub. With the rapid technological advancement in innovative therapies and electronic health records, now is the optimal time for integrating medical expertise with technology. The concept of self-health management is becoming increasingly prevalent, with more citizens showing greater interest in managing and utilizing their own health data. The eHealth Consortium is pleased to see the Government and industry actively driving innovation to empower proactive self-health management and advance a healthier community. We firmly believe that the integration of AI and medical technology will be a key trend for future development."
