He is active in offering consulting services & a fellow of SAF-NTU Academy. 15 of his papers have been adopted as references in Singapore Standard (SS 582: 2013) and ISO/TR 13154:2009 / IEC 80601-2-59: 2017. He is also presently serving as panel member for the Biomedical and Health Standards Committee since 2011, Singapore.
The affable adjunct NUH scientist has a special interest in infrared (IR) physics & technology and has contributed greatly to research on IR, in particular on application of IR to biomedical sciences. The co-inventor of three USA patents on multiple analytical software classifier programs to identify the different stages of breast cancer development using thermal data with Lifeline’s First Warning TM system and then Cyrcadia Health Int. (USA), he further explores the use of IR in the field of ophthalmology for early detection of health abnormality. He has another 3 Technology Disclosure Licensed as software. He collaborates with fellow researchers from National and Singapore Health Group Hospitals, also, Poland, India, Kazakhstan and USA so as to consistently achieve breakthrough such as concluding the possibility of using the Biofield Diagnostic System as a better objective assessment tool for complimentary breast cancer detection. The patents (with Cyrcadia Health Int.) have attracted more than 10M USD from USA directly. This First Warning Systems are processed for the CE Mark currently & to be followed by clinical validation with FDA and market entry of the inventions in select European markets. The annual worldwide breast cancer market is estimated at $12B.
