Two-thirds (66%) of Australians welcome technology for improved care, but more than half (53%) are concerned it will mean less face time with their doctor. Three in four (74%) Australian healthcare professionals report losing clinical time due to incomplete or inaccessible patient data, with one fifth of these (19%) losing over 45 minutes per shift, amounting to 23 full days lost per year. Australians are less optimistic about AI in healthcare (43%) compared to their healthcare providers (85%), highlighting a critical trust gap. SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 August 2025 – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today released the Australian findings of its 10th edition of the Future Health Index 2025 report: Building trust in healthcare AI. For the first time, the report includes the perspectives of more than 1,000 Australian patients alongside their healthcare professionals, revealing a clear directive: Australians will embrace AI in healthcare, but only if it enhances, rather than replaces, the vital doctor-patient relationship. Whilst patients and providers see the potential for AI to address major challenges such as care delays and staff burnout, they believe its primary role should be to empower clinicians, allowing for more meaningful, human-centric care. “This 10th edition of the Future Health Index gives us the clearest picture yet of what Australians want for their healthcare: technology must serve the human connection”, said Shehaan Fernando, interim Managing Director of Philips Australia and New Zealand. “For patients, building trust is as important as building technology. At Philips, we are committed to a human-centric vision for AI that empowers clinicians and strengthens the doctor-patient relationship that Australians value”. Patients welcome tech, but protect personal relationships The report uncovers a key tension in Australian attitudes towards technology. Whilst a majority (66%) of Australians welcome new technology if it improves the quality of their care, more than half (53%) express concern that it could lead to less direct interaction with their doctors. This desire for human connection is amplified by Australia’s long-standing reliance on GP services as the foundation of the healthcare system. The findings suggest patients see AI’s ideal role as a powerful support tool that handles administrative tasks, streamlines data access, and ultimately frees up GPs to engage in more in-depth, meaningful consultations. In Australia, three in four healthcare professionals (74%) report losing clinical time due to incomplete or inaccessible patient data, with one fifth of these (19%) losing more than 45 minutes per shift – adding up to 23 full days lost per healthcare professional each year[1]. AI’s ability to manage and streamline patient data holds the key to reclaiming this time, allowing healthcare professionals to dedicate more focus to direct patient care. Doctors as trusted guides to AI When it comes to navigating the complexities of AI, Australians place their trust in their healthcare professionals. 79% of Australians would be most comfortable receiving information about AI in their care from their doctor, surpassing news outlets (48%) and social media (31%). This underscores the indispensable role of clinicians in guiding public acceptance and integration of AI. However, the report also notes that healthcare professionals themselves have questions, with 77% concerned or unclear about liability for AI errors. Australians are less optimistic about AI’s benefits (43%) compared to their healthcare providers (84%), highlighting a critical trust gap. “As clinicians, we see the incredible potential for AI to help us diagnose earlier and create more personalised treatment plans”, said Dr Tim Bowles, Head of Department – HIVE (Health in a Virtual Environment), at East Metropolitan Health Service (EMHS) in Western Australia. “AI can empower us to spend less time on administration and more time with our patients, ensuring technology elevates, rather than diminishes, the human element of care”. Philips‘ Commitment: Driving Human-Centred Innovation Philips’ expertise in virtual hospital services and clinical command centres aligns with EMHS’s efforts to improve patient-centred care and proactively detect the risk of patient deterioration. This collaboration, featuring the HIVE program and the deployment of a Clinical Command Centre solution leveraging machine learning and predictive analytics, has demonstrated significant patient outcomes. “By integrating AI into our clinical workflows, we’ve been able to detect patient deterioration earlier, intervene faster, and ultimately deliver safer, more effective care. AI has become a vital tool in supporting our clinicians and improving outcomes when and where it matters most.” — Adam Lloyd, Area Director Community & Virtual Care East Metropolitan Health Service Data indicates the Clinical Command Centre has led to a 26% reduction in patient mortality[2], a 30% reduction in length of stay[3], and has helped 15% of patients be discharged home faster[4]. Furthermore, the program facilitated over 10,000 clinical interactions over a 12-month period, with 10% being for urgent or life-threatening reasons, and 64% of all interactions occurring after hours or on weekends. By integrating technology seamlessly into clinical workflows, Philips helps to augment the skills of healthcare professionals and improve patient care when it’s needed most. “Our long-term vision is to deliver responsible, human-centric AI that addresses the real-world challenges of patients and providers”, said Shehaan Fernando, interim Managing Director of Philips Australia and New Zealand. “By partnering with the medical community, we can ensure that innovation builds trust, improves outcomes, and supports a future of providing better care for more people”.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 August 2025 – LHN Energy Resources, a leading provider of renewable energy solutions, is proud to announce the completion of solar carport installation at Goldhill Plaza’s open space car park. This new initiative, part of a strategic collaboration with LHN Parking, aims to provide a sustainable energy solution while optimising underutilised space in Singapore’s urban landscape. LHN Energy Launches Solar Carport at Goldhill Plaza to Promote Renewable Energy in Urban Spaces Turning Underutilised Space into Sustainable Energy Solutions In a land-scarce city like Singapore, businesses often grapple with the challenge of finding suitable spaces for solar energy installations. Rooftop space is frequently limited or already occupied, and large-scale solar farms are often unfeasible in densely built environments. At the same time, the rising cost of traditional energy sources and the need to meet sustainability goals have placed greater pressure on companies to adopt renewable energy alternatives. The new solar carport installation at Goldhill Plaza addresses these challenges head-on. By transforming an open-air car park into a productive energy site, this project turns underutilised space into a dual-function solution, generating renewable energy while providing shaded, weather-protected parking. The solar panels on the carport structure will produce clean power to support on-site energy consumption, reducing both reliance on the grid and overall operational costs for the property. Not only does this project support businesses by reducing energy expenses, but it also aligns with Singapore’s broader commitment to green energy adoption. It serves as a prime example of how multi-functional infrastructure can address urban sustainability goals. Looking Towards the Future: Expanding Solar Carports Across Singapore Building on the success of the Goldhill Plaza installation, LHN Energy is setting its sights on a broader rollout of solar carports throughout Singapore. As part of its ongoing collaboration with LHN Parking, the company plans to introduce similar solar-integrated structures in other open-air carparks across the island. This forward-thinking initiative reflects LHN Energy’s continued commitment to reshaping urban infrastructure through renewable energy. By combining energy generation with functional urban design, future solar carport projects will not only optimise land use but also support Singapore’s transition to a low-carbon economy. As demand grows for eco-conscious property upgrades and energy-efficient solutions, LHN Energy aims to lead the way in delivering smart, sustainable infrastructure that serves both environmental and operational needs. The expansion of solar carports is more than a business strategy, it’s a step towards a cleaner, more resilient city for all.

Project Juara charts way forward for all stakeholders to capture tokenisation opportunities and drive financial transformation in Malaysia. KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 August 2025 – Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad (“Kenanga Group“), Saison Capital Pte Ltd, Helicap Labs Pte Ltd (“HELIX“) and Satori Research Ltd, today announced the release of a white paper that offers insights into the asset tokenisation industry’s potential and its significance in driving financial transformation in Malaysia. Titled Project Juara: Malaysia’s Asset Tokenisation Opportunity (“Project Juara“) and authored by all four parties, it estimates that Malaysia’s tokenised asset market could reach US$43 billion by 2030, spanning regulated products such as unit trusts, bonds and sukuk. From left: Ranjit Singh Gill, Director, Head of Product & Market Development, Kenanga Investors Berhad (“Kenanga Investors”); Datuk Wira Ismitz Matthew De Alwis, Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer, Kenanga Investors; Datuk Chay Wai Leong, Group Managing Director, Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad; Qin En Looi, Partner, Saison Capital Pte Ltd; Teong Hng, Co-Founder & CEO, Satori Research Ltd; and Jitendra Singh Jaitawat, Co-Founder & CEO, Helicap Labs Pte Ltd. Project Juara aligns with national interest, particularly in light of the Malaysian Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s remarks in April 2025 that “with the right steps, Malaysia can position itself at the forefront of this transformation”, after discussions on the nation’s potential as a major hub for digital assets and the blockchain industry. Against this backdrop, Project Juara charts a way towards building a robust digital asset ecosystem using a call to action and whole-of-nation approach. Traditional financial institutions can act as early adopters and counterparties to asset owners, who in turn create credible investment-worthy products. Equally important are infrastructure providers, government agencies and community leaders whose collective efforts can help shape the future of Malaysia’s digital economy to make investing inclusive, equitable and empowering for every Malaysian. The report encourages all parties to recognise that each has a distinct yet interdependent role in creating a progressive capital market landscape. This report highlights the scale of what is possible if we take the right steps today. While digitalisation has enhanced customer interfaces and experience, tokenisation offers a deeper structural reform by reshaping how financial assets are issued, traded and governed. As such, Project Juara dives deep into examining the institutional, regulatory and technological conditions needed to unlock that potential by drawing on lessons from other markets and models across Southeast Asia. It aims to provide a roadmap that sparks dialogue and guides real action. Kenanga Group has significantly expanded its digital footprint in recent years, not only by launching cutting-edge platforms such as Kenanga Digital Investing (KDI) and the Rakuten Trade online stockbroking platform, but also through a series of strategic investments and partnerships. This includes a stake in Kinetic DAX Sdn Bhd (KDX), one of the country’s first licensed digital asset exchanges, reinforcing its commitment to digital assets and the broader crypto ecosystem. In addition, Kenanga has invested in pioneering fintech and digital finance companies including Helicap Pte Ltd (Helicap) (data-driven private credit), Bay Group Holdings Sdn Bhd (CapBay) (supply chain financing), Merchantrade Asia Sdn Bhd (e-money and remittance services), and entered partnerships with leading technology and payment firms such as Ant Group Co, Ltd. These initiatives demonstrate Kenanga’s proactive approach to shaping Malaysia’s financial future through innovation, collaboration, and a robust presence in digital and digital asset markets. Saison Capital Pte Ltd is the venture capital arm of Credit Saison; it invests in early stage companies across all verticals, with a focus on fintech, e-commerce and Web 3.0. HELIX is a blockchain-based tokenisation startup founded by Helicap. HELIX enables the issuance of tokenised private credit and alternative assets.
