Mega Domain Group and Gerex Technology join hands, AI helps Hong Kong medical services innovation enter the fast lane

(January 9, 2025, Hong Kong) With the continuous maturation and implementation of AI technology, its application in the healthcare industry is reshaping traditional medical models and is increasingly regarded as a key factor in improving the efficiency and quality of medical services. Recently, Microware Group Limited (1985.HK, hereinafter referred to as "Microware") and GAREA TECH have joined hands in Hong Kong to collaborate, aiming to empower primary healthcare with advanced AI technology. This partnership responds to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government's "Primary Healthcare Blueprint" initiative, achieving deep integration and innovative applications of AI technology in the medical field. This collaboration is expected to bring innovative digital solutions to Hong Kong's primary healthcare.

As one of the leaders in Hong Kong's information technology industry, Microware has a 40-year history, serving over 2,000 clients annually, including 60% of Hong Kong's top 100 listed companies and 80 government units. Over the years, Microware has been committed to deeply integrating AI technology with practical application scenarios, driving synergistic innovation between technology and business, and injecting new vitality into enterprises. In recent years, Microware Group has increased its investment in AI solutions and infrastructure R&D, independently developing a new generation of enterprise-level AI productivity platforms. This has continuously promoted the deep integration and innovative application of AI, 5G, big data, and IoT technologies in industries such as smart education, healthcare, government, and smart manufacturing.

Microware Group is dedicated to "shaping an AI-empowered future." Through this strategic partnership with GAREA TECH, it will further accelerate the realization of this vision. GAREA TECH is a globally leading provider of comprehensive digital primary healthcare solutions, committed to the digital transformation of primary healthcare and the innovation of smart health services. Its all-round solutions in primary healthcare system construction, family doctor contracting, smart communities, and telemedicine further promote the deep integration of technology and primary healthcare, while contributing to the implementation of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment and the Healthy China strategy. This collaboration not only lays a solid foundation for future cooperation between the two parties in medical digitization and AI but also serves as an important milestone in propelling Hong Kong's healthcare system into a new digital era and achieving innovation.

The shortage and uneven distribution of primary healthcare resources in Hong Kong have long been pressing issues. Data shows that in 2023, public hospitals lost 281 doctors and 1,821 nurses. Over the past three years, 1,032 full-time doctors and 6,049 full-time nurses left their positions for reasons other than retirement. The shortage and attrition of medical staff have further exacerbated the burden on Hong Kong's healthcare system. Particularly in the face of dual challenges posed by an aging population and a surge in chronic disease patients, optimizing strategies has become increasingly critical. The recent launch of the "Primary Healthcare Blueprint" by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government once again addresses the public's demand for high-quality medical services and marks the development of smart healthcare as a key engine for Hong Kong's medical innovation.

Addressing the pain points of Hong Kong's primary healthcare, the deep integration and innovative application of AI technology are particularly crucial. This collaboration focuses on driving the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of the healthcare industry through AI technology, establishing smooth communication channels between doctors and patients, and improving diagnostic efficiency. Leveraging its advanced multilingual real-time voice transcription and translation technology, Microware Group will significantly reduce the workload of doctors in medical record documentation and patient communication, allowing them to focus more on diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, it can alleviate language barriers faced by patients during consultations. Relying on GAREA TECH's mobile healthcare products, such as integrated health detection machines, patients are provided with more convenient health check-ups and chronic disease management methods. The application of AI technology not only optimizes medical service processes but also enhances the patient experience, particularly in improving diagnostic accuracy and personalized treatment plans, demonstrating great potential. This will not only improve the quality and efficiency of medical services but also promote the homogenization of medical resources, achieving broader health care. Undoubtedly, this will drive the innovation of Hong Kong's medical service models. By integrating their respective technological advantages, Microware Group and GAREA TECH are jointly building a more efficient and intelligent medical service system, accelerating the innovative transformation of Hong Kong's medical services.

The successful implementation of this collaboration will not only elevate Hong Kong's primary healthcare services but also serve as a model for medical cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and beyond, providing valuable experience and models for regional medical collaboration.

Looking ahead, Wang Guangbo, Chairman of Microware Group, stated, "The Group will continue to deepen technological applications and expand cross-industry and cross-regional coverage. We firmly believe that as the collaboration progresses, we can bring revolutionary changes to the healthcare sector in Hong Kong and globally, enabling more people to enjoy high-quality AI-empowered medical services and collectively move toward a smarter and healthier future."
