Cutting edge tools to address health challenges in PH unveiled

The Manila Times

Cutting edge tools to address health challenges in PH unveiled  The Department of Science and Technology—Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD) spearheads innovation through its Digital and Frontier Technologies for Health (DFTH) program on May 27, 2025. The event showcased cutting-edge tools such as artificial intelligence (AI), extended reality, and intelligent systems to address long-standing challenges in the country’s health system. Among those presented at the event was the i-SULAT (Intelligent Stroke Utilization, Learning, Assessment, and Testing). Developed by Dr. Edison Roxas of the University of Santo Tomas, i-SULAT is a software-based tool that utilizes intelligent handwriting stroke analysis to assess children’s writing abilities. The i-SULAT aims to close this gap while also aiding in the rehabilitation of stroke patients and individuals with learning disabilities or neurological disorders.
