Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai moves forward toward becoming an Innovation Hospital as the first private hospital in Chiang Mai Province to initiate a strategic collaboration in health innovation with a university, through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Science and Technology Park, Chiang Mai University (STeP CMU) to jointly develop medical technologies and innovations that can be practically implemented in the healthcare service system.
This collaboration aims to build a health innovation ecosystem by linking the hospital’s expertise with the university’s research and technology knowledge to develop research and innovation projects arising from real operational problems in the hospital and extend them to real-world implementation in the healthcare service system.
Under this collaboration, the two organisations will jointly develop medical research and innovation projects, such as technologies to enhance patient safety, systems to support the work of medical personnel, as well as the adoption of new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and prototype medical devices to test and develop for practical use in the hospital.
This collaboration is therefore regarded as another important step in driving Chiang Mai Province toward becoming a health innovation hub for the North, while supporting the development of medical technologies through cooperation between the hospital and the university to sustainably improve the quality of life of the public.
