On 6 December, the Ministry of Health in Laos launched a EUR 3 million (approximately USD 3.17 million)  health initiative in Bokeo Province to tackle HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria. 

Supported by the French government through L’Initiative and Expertise France, and implemented by the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development with backing from the French Agency for Development , the three-year project also spans Thailand. It aims to enhance disease prevention, food security, and livelihoods, particularly for vulnerable groups in Bokeo.

The French Ambassador to Laos, Siv-Leng Chhuor, highlighted that EUR 2 million (about USD 2.11 million) from L’Initiative would focus on improving healthcare access and training public health workers in collaboration with civil society groups like CHIAS. The project seeks to integrate services for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria while promoting shared governance and inclusive data monitoring.

Minister of Health,  Bounfeng Phommalaysith, emphasized the province’s unique challenges, including high infection rates, ethnic diversity, and its geographic setting, as reasons for prioritizing disease control in the region. The initiative is aligned with Laos’ goal to eliminate these diseases by 2030.

Meanwhile, Lao Deputy Minister of Health, Phayvanh Keopaseuth, reported that from January to September this year, 1,523 people in Laos were identified as living with HIV. Notably, 53 percent of these cases involved individuals aged 15 to 29.

The United Nations (UN) projects that the HIV infection rate in Laos will increase to 0.42 percent in 2024, compared to 0.39 percent in 2023. Since 1990, an estimated 20,000 people in the country, primarily aged 15-49, have contracted the virus. Currently, 12,803 individuals nationwide are receiving antiretroviral treatment.

NetApp’s 2024 Data Complexity Report Reveals AI’s Make or Break Year Ahead

Organizations Worldwide Brace for a Year of AI Transformation, Security Challenges, and Sustainability Imperatives


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 December 2024 – NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the intelligent data infrastructure company, released its second annual Data Complexity Report, which examines how global organizations are navigating the increasing complexity of managing their data for AI. This year’s report provides a global view into how AI will impact organizations in 2025 and beyond, offering insights to help businesses leverage AI’s potential while navigating the complexities and risks that accompany this transformative technology.

“2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for AI, as organizations transition from experimentation to scaling their AI capabilities,” said Gabie Boko, Chief Marketing Officer, NetApp. “This year’s Data Complexity Report shows that businesses are making significant investments to drive innovation and efficiency, but these efforts will succeed only if global tech executives can address the mounting challenges of data complexity, security, and sustainability. Intelligent data infrastructure, with unified data storage at its core, will be key to unlocking AI’s potential.”

AI Investment: Will AI Break the Bank?

Two-thirds of companies worldwide report that their data is either fully or mostly optimized for AI. However, despite this progress, 2025 will still demand investment in AI and data management. In fact, 40% of global technology executives believe that unprecedented investment in AI and data management will be required for their companies in 2025. While companies have made strides in optimizing data for AI, achieving future breakthroughs will demand even greater commitment and resources.

The study classified the surveyed markets into AI leading and AI lagging countries. The four APAC markets of India, Japan, Singapore and Australia & New Zealand (A/NZ) all fall into the leading bucket, with the overall proportion of APAC respondents saying that their business’s data is fully or mostly optimized for AI averaging 73%, slightly above the global number.

Data Silos: Will Your Data Impede AI Success?

Data unification is emerging as a critical driver of AI success, with 79% of global tech executives recognizing the importance of unifying data to achieve optimal AI outcomes. Companies that prioritize unifying data are more likely to reach their AI goals in 2025, with only 23% of companies that prioritize unifying data saying they won’t reach their goals, versus 30% of companies that don’t prioritize unifying data. Investing in data management and infrastructure has become the top priority for organizations, with executives emphasizing it twice as much as other AI-related initiatives – a trend set to grow. Looking to the future, organizations that embrace data unification will be better positioned to fully harness the transformative power of AI, ensuring they stay ahead in an increasingly competitive landscape.

In APAC, 85% of tech executives recognized the importance of unifying data to achieve optimal AI outcomes in 2025. Every country is increasing their data management or infrastructure investments except India, reflecting India’s previous investments and lead in AI adoption. In India, 44% of tech executives see data management or infrastructure as their current top priority, with a lower 37% seeing it as a future top priority. In the other parts of APAC, tech executives in Japan (42%), Singapore (49%) and A/NZ (43%) see data management and infrastructure investments as their top future investment priority – which are higher than their current top priority.

Data Security: Will Cyber Threats Scale Along with AI?

Global tech executives are bracing for a significant rise in security threats alongside AI adoption, with 41% predicting a sharp increase in 2025. Data privacy and security concerns have remained top challenges globally year-over-year, with AI leading countries like India, Japan, Singapore and A/NZ and the United States (whom are farther ahead in their AI journey) facing nearly twice the number of security issues compared to AI-lagging countries like Germany, France and Spain. As much as 72% of APAC respondents said the rise in AI adoption has led to an increase in security challenges for their businesses.

AI-driven security challenges are weighing heavily on the minds of global tech leaders, with 59% identifying these threats as a leading global stressor. Likewise in APAC, over half of the surveyed respondents (54%) have recognized AI-driven security challenges as their top stressor. This heightened focus reflects the growing complexity of cyber risks. Executives at the board and C-suite levels continue to prioritize cybersecurity and ransomware protection, with 38% ranking it as a top priority. However, there’s a silver lining: the strategic measures organizations have implemented appear to be paying off. The focus on cybersecurity as a top priority has decreased by 17% since 2023 — a promising sign that progress is being made in combating these ever-evolving threats.

Data Sustainability: Is AI Putting the Planet at Risk?

As AI adoption accelerates, 34% of global tech executives anticipate major shifts in corporate sustainability processes, and 33% expect new government energy policies and investments. AI-driven data growth is seen as a key contributor to sustainability efforts, with AI-leading countries experiencing a greater impact than AI-lagging countries. Carbon footprint reduction remains a top priority, especially in regions with high AI adoption, though its focus has declined year over year, from 84% of companies in 2023 to 72% in 2024. The challenge moving forward will be managing the environmental costs of AI while maximizing its potential for innovation.

In APAC, three-quarters of respondents indicated the importance of carbon footprint reduction – slightly above the global average. Increased data and computation due to the rise of AI have brought significant contributions to their companies’ sustainability initiatives, with 57% of the respondents indicating “high” or “extremely high” impacts.

This year’s Data Complexity Report highlights a pivotal shift: businesses that invest in intelligent data infrastructure and prioritize security are not only future-proofing their operations but also gaining a significant competitive advantage in the AI-driven landscape.

“AI’s transformative potential hinges on secure, scalable, and sustainable data strategies,” said Krish Vitaldevara, Senior Vice President and General Manager, NetApp. “The organizations leading in advanced analytics and AI are those that have unified and well-cataloged data, robust security for sensitive information, and a clear understanding of how data evolves. By tackling these challenges, they can drive innovation while ensuring resilience, responsibility, and timely insights in the new AI era.”

“We are at an exciting point in AI innovation, and it’s encouraging to see APAC organizations leading the charge in data readiness for AI,” said Dhruv Dhumatkar, Chief Technology Officer, NetApp Asia Pacific and Japan. “Data holds the key to AI’s success. For organizations to capitalize on their lead, intelligent data management capabilities are essential to unify and make data a strategic asset for positive business outcomes.”

Methodology

JForce Employment Service Strengthens Maid Training with Overseas Centre in Indonesia


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 December 2024 – JForce Employment Service, an employment agency in Singapore, continues to set the standard in providing well-trained domestic helpers by operating its own dedicated maid training centre in Indonesia. This overseas facility is central to JForce’s mission as a maid agency, supplying highly skilled domestic helpers, particularly in the area of elderly care maid training, ensuring maids are well-prepared for their roles when they arrive in Singapore.

Comprehensive Training in Indonesia

JForce Employment Agency operates a centre in Indonesia that focuses on preparing domestic helpers with the fundamental skills required for household tasks. The centre is divided into two main facilities: a general training centre and a nursing school that focuses on elderly care. The general training centre provides hands-on training in areas such as cooking, cleaning, child care, and basic caregiving. In contrast, the nursing school is specifically designed to train maids for dementia care for seniors and other elderly care needs, ensuring they are equipped to handle the demands of caregiving with confidence and empathy.

“Our goal is to provide families with maids who are not only skilled in housekeeping but also capable of delivering high-quality care for the elderly,” says Jeffrey Wong, Founder of JForce Employment Service. “With an ageing population, the demand for maids for elderly care in Singapore is growing, and we are committed to preparing our maids to meet those needs.”

Tailored Recruitment and Ongoing Training

JForce Employment Agency offers a minimum four to six-week general training program, which continues until the maid is selected for employment. From each batch, a handful are selected to specialise in elderly care. These shortlisted maids receive hands-on experience at an elderly care facility, where they are trained in real-life caregiving situations, such as handling wheelchairs, measuring blood pressure, and communicating with elderly patients. Regular assessments are also conducted by certified trainers to ensure that all maids meet the required standards.

Meeting the Needs of Singapore’s Diverse Employers

Although JForce Employment Agency places a strong focus on Indonesian maid recruitment due to cultural compatibility, the agency also provides domestic helpers from Myanmar and the Philippines. While each nationality brings different strengths to the table, all are equipped with excellent communication skills and adaptability. You can expect their domestic helpers to be proficient in Mandarin and other dialects, thanks to their extensive experience in other countries like Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In addition to elderly care, JForce Employment Agency also supplies maids trained in child care and household management, providing flexibility for families with varied domestic needs. The agency’s overseas team plays a key role in filtering and matching maids according to employer specifications, enabling the right maid to be paired with the right household.

Challenges and Future Plans

As a maid agency, JForce Employment Services has also taken a significant step to expand its training centre in Myanmar. This development aims to provide comprehensive training for domestic helpers, equipping them with the skills needed to meet the growing demand for quality domestic workers in Singapore. By enhancing training opportunities in Myanmar, the agency is strengthening its commitment to improve the standard of care and support offered by its workers.

Looking ahead, JForce envisions further growth in its services. Over the next five years, the agency plans to establish a dedicated elderly care facility. This facility will focus on delivering skilled elderly care, supported by a workforce of specially trained caregivers. The initiative reflects JForce’s long-term goal to address the evolving needs of families requiring elderly care services. This will ensure that caregivers are both well-trained and well-prepared for their roles.

Westmead Hospital and Blacktown Mount Druitt Hospital, both under the Western Sydney (LHD), aim to enhance care models for gestational and type 2 diabetes. By implementing Health2Sync’s patient application at the two hospitals and its surrounding primary care networks, a virtual care model can be established, and clinicians can effectively manage their patients, improve doctor-patient communication, and reduce the need for frequent hospital visits.

Dr Rajini Jayaballa, WSD Staff Specialist Endocrinologist & Clinical Lead at Blacktown and Mt Druitt Hospitals, said that since WSLHD adopted its use in 2024, those requiring their insulin doses optimized between clinic visits can benefit from the solution. “With a user-friendly interface and the ability to sync with multiple wearable devices, it consolidates key health metrics in one place,” Dr Jayaballa said.

Health2Sync’s app offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to empower patients to take control of their health. The app’s seamless integration with over 80 devices, including glucometers, blood pressure monitors, weight scales, fitness trackers, and market-leading continuous glucose monitor (CGM), simplifies data collection and analysis. Additionally, an automated patient engagement program co-developed with Western Sydney Diabetes is expected to provide personalized lifestyle suggestions based on real-time health data, encouraging self-monitoring of patients’ blood glucose levels.

“The timing of this partnership is impeccable as various local health districts seek to address the need for scalable solutions to reduce complications such as kidney conditions,” said Ed Deng, Co-founder and CEO of Health2Sync. “Real-world evidence suggests using the Health2Sync solution leads to a healthier lifestyle. By leveraging our technology, we are confident we can help governments and healthcare providers deliver effective health management solutions and address the increasing inequitable access problems.”

WSD Director Professor Glen Maberly said the partnership with Health2Sync is part of WSD’s continued effort to implement digital solutions to enhance clinical management. “Leveraging Health2Sync’s technical capabilities to utilize data and automation, together we have developed an automated engagement program to deliver targeted educational content, reminders, and encouragements,” Professor Maberly said. “We hope this program can lighten the burden on general practitioners and allied health by supporting patients to better self-manage and self-monitor their conditions.”
