Advancing Evidence-Based Digital Medicine in Viet Nam

ABOUT DIGITAL MEDICINE

Digital Medicine is the field concerned with the use of digital technologies as tools for measurement and intervention in the service of human health.

It includes software, connected technologies, digital measures and digitally enabled interventions used to understand health, support healthcare decisions, deliver interventions or monitor outcomes.

Digital Medicine is more than digitizing an existing process or adopting new technology. Its value depends on clearly defined healthcare needs, appropriate evidence, proportionate governance, patient safety, responsible data use and effective integration into real healthcare workflows.

Evidence & Readiness

Professional Education

Clarifying intended use, relevant evidence, patient safety, usability, regulatory applicability and organizational readiness before adoption or scale.

Establishing proportionate governance, clear accountability, risk management, human oversight, responsible data use and appropriate safety controls.

Integrating technologies into real healthcare workflows, monitoring their performance and safety, evaluating outcomes and using implementation learning for continuous improvement.

From digital innovation to meaningful health outcomes

Implementation & Improvement

WHAT RESPONSIBLE DIGITAL MEDICINE REQUIRES

From healthcare need to responsible implementation

OUR WORK

Five connected areas of work

Our work is organized across five complementary areas supporting the responsible evaluation, adoption, implementation and ongoing use of Digital Medicine and health AI.

Education & Capability Building

Developing knowledge and capability to help healthcare professionals, leaders, researchers and innovators understand, evaluate, govern and implement Digital Medicine responsibly.

Evidence & Implementation Readiness

Supporting structured evaluation of intended use, relevant evidence, clinical relevance, patient safety, regulatory applicability, usability, data governance, workflow integration and organizational readiness.

Healthcare Implementation, Monitoring & Evaluation

Supporting pilot design, workflow integration, defined responsibilities, implementation pathways, monitoring, escalation processes and measurement of relevant healthcare and organizational outcomes.

Responsible AI, Data Governance & Digital Safety

Advancing responsible approaches to health AI, data governance, privacy, cybersecurity, transparency, human oversight, accountability, patient safety and lifecycle monitoring.

Research & Cross-Sector Collaboration

Connecting healthcare organizations, universities, researchers, health technology companies and other stakeholders to generate evidence, exchange knowledge and address practical healthcare challenges..

OUR SCOPE

Technologies and care models shaping Digital Medicine

Our scope includes digital technologies, measures, interventions and care models with the potential to support health assessment, healthcare decision-making, intervention delivery, monitoring and continuity of care.

AI & Medical Software

Artificial intelligence and software used for medical or healthcare purposes, including assessment, monitoring, clinical decision support, diagnosis, treatment support and selected healthcare operations.

Digital Therapeutics & Digital Interventions

Software and digitally delivered interventions designed to prevent, manage or treat health conditions, support behavior change or complement established care pathways.

Remote Monitoring & Digital Measures

Connected technologies, digital measures and digital biomarkers that support the collection, interpretation and use of health information beyond traditional healthcare settings.

Virtual & Connected Care

Care models connecting patients, healthcare professionals, health information and digital technologies across locations and stages of care.

Healthcare AI Governance, Patient Safety & Implementation Readiness

Helping healthcare organizations evaluate evidence, govern risk, and implement health AI safely, responsibly and effectively.

Artificial intelligence is moving rapidly from experimentation into clinical, operational and administrative healthcare workflows.

Responsible adoption requires more than technical performance. Healthcare organizations need appropriate evidence, proportionate governance, clear accountability, meaningful human oversight, patient-safety controls, safe workflow integration and ongoing monitoring.

Digital Medicine Vietnam is developing a practical Healthcare AI Governance, Patient Safety & Implementation Readiness Framework to support healthcare organizations and health technology companies considering or implementing AI-enabled healthcare solutions in Viet Nam.

The framework is intended to help organizations move from AI use-case identification and evidence evaluation through risk governance, implementation and post-deployment monitoring.

FLAGSHIP FOCUS: Responsible AI in Healthcare

EVIDENCE & INSIGHTS

Explore evidence briefs, policy and regulatory insights, implementation perspectives, practical frameworks and selected analyses relevant to responsible Digital Medicine and health AI in Viet Nam.

Our resources are developed to help healthcare organizations, professionals, researchers and innovators understand what technologies are intended to do, what evidence supports their use, what risks should be considered and how they can be governed and implemented responsibly.

From emerging evidence to practical healthcare decisions

HOW WE WORK

From healthcare need to continuous improvement

Responsible Digital Medicine implementation is not a one-time technology decision.

We use a lifecycle perspective that starts with the healthcare need and continues through evidence evaluation, risk consideration, governance, implementation, monitoring and ongoing improvement.

Healthcare Need → Evidence → Risk → Governance → Implementation → Monitoring → Improvement

Each stage informs the next, while learning from real-world implementation feeds back into governance, technology use and continuous improvement.

Across the lifecycle, our work considers patient safety, human factors, accessibility, health equity, responsible data use and local healthcare context.

A VIETNAMWELLCARE INITIATIVE

Digital Medicine Vietnam is developed and operated by VietnamWellcare as a multidisciplinary platform for evidence translation, professional education, governance, implementation, research and collaboration in Digital Medicine.

The initiative is being developed progressively through original knowledge resources, practical frameworks, implementation learning, multidisciplinary collaboration and international knowledge exchange.
