AI and Telehealth for grassroots healthcare was the key topic shared by Kingston Healthcare Technologies Vietnam at Pharmed & Healthcare Vietnam 2026. The thematic presentation focused on smart medical devices and the Connected Healthcare model – connecting devices, data and medical expertise within a unified healthcare ecosystem.
The session was presented by Ms. Nguyen Hoang Anh Linh, MSc – Head of Artificial Intelligence Development, Kingston Healthcare Technologies Vietnam, offering insights into how technology can be applied to the practical needs of the grassroots healthcare system.
From Smart Medical Devices to a Connected Healthcare Ecosystem
The development of medical technology is opening up many opportunities for healthcare facilities to gradually digitalize their processes and improve health information management. However, the value of healthcare digital transformation does not lie only in adding more devices or software to the workflow.
More importantly, it depends on how devices, data and professional resources can be connected and coordinated to support healthcare activities. Following this approach, Kingston Healthcare Technologies develops the Connected Healthcare model with 5 components that connect and support one another:
- Smart medical devices help collect health indicators.
- Digital data helps standardize and manage health information.
- AI adds capabilities to support data processing and analysis.
- Telehealth expands connections with professional resources.
- Management platforms support monitoring and operating care processes.
How Can AI and Telehealth Support Grassroots Healthcare?
One of the key points of the session was approaching AI and Telehealth for grassroots healthcare from practical problems, rather than from a purely technological perspective.
Digitalizing health screening
In screening activities, smart medical devices such as a health check-up kiosk can help record indicators through a digitalized process, reducing reliance on manual data entry and creating structured data. When the data is connected to a suitable system, medical teams gain a stronger basis for managing, monitoring and consolidating health information.
Telehealth connects grassroots facilities with remote expertise
Telehealth opens up the possibility of connecting grassroots facilities with remote professional resources, especially in care models where medical staff and expertise are unevenly distributed. This is also a digital health direction addressed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in its digital health programs.
AI as a supporting technology layer
AI can become a supporting technology layer in this ecosystem, focusing on data utilization and supporting suitable processes rather than operating as a standalone technology. Combined, AI and Telehealth help data from grassroots facilities be used more effectively.
Smart medical devices, AI and Telehealth are not the final destination – their value lies in how well they integrate into the real workflows of healthcare facilities.
Technology Must Be Tied to Real Operational Challenges
For Kingston Healthcare Technologies, smart medical devices and AI are not the final destination. The value of technology lies in its ability to be integrated into real workflows, fit the resources of each healthcare facility and deliver sustainable results in daily operations.
This is why Kingston develops solutions based on connecting devices – data – platforms – expertise, rather than focusing only on individual products. This approach addresses many needs of the healthcare system, from health screening, data management and remote professional support to expanding community healthcare models – the challenges of digitalizing healthcare facilities that many organizations are facing.
Fostering Connections Between Technology and the Healthcare Ecosystem
Participating in Pharmed & Healthcare Vietnam 2026 gave Kingston Healthcare Technologies the opportunity to exchange views with regulators, healthcare facilities, experts, businesses and industry partners on the development trends of digital health and Connected Healthcare in Vietnam.
Through such professional activities, Kingston continues to connect technology with the real needs of the healthcare system while seeking partnerships to bring smart medical devices, AI and Telehealth into suitable application models – following real-world deployments such as donating Medi-Kiosk and Medi-Case to Hung Long Commune Health Station.
Towards a More Connected Healthcare System
The development of digital health is not just a story about technology. It is also a process of connecting people, devices, data and expertise to create a healthcare model that is more effective and better suited to real needs.
With a development focus on Connected Healthcare, Kingston Healthcare Technologies continues to concentrate on AI and Telehealth solutions that can be applied, scaled and create value for healthcare facilities and communities.
