This collaboration is not only a testament to the robust potential of AISB’s technology but also reflects the confidence in our strategic investment decisions. The support from MyCIF will significantly bolster AISB's efforts to advance the ‘One Patient, One Record’ initiative under Malaysia's National Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Plan, a critical step towards modernizing the nation’s healthcare infrastructure.”

The co-investment will empower AISB to accelerate the deployment of its AI-driven healthcare solutions, particularly through its flagship platform, aiCMS. This platform is designed to integrate predictive analytics and generative AI to enhance clinical management and patient care across Malaysia.

“This investment partnership represents a milestone in our collective vision to create a more sustainable, efficient healthcare system,” said Andrew Teng, CEO of Ascension Innovation Sdn Bhd. “We are committed to leveraging this support to achieve our goals and contribute meaningfully to Malaysia's healthcare transformation.”
