CelcomDigi and Universiti Malaya (UM) are collaborating to drive digital healthcare innovation by leveraging 5G, AI, and extended reality (XR). Through this collaboration, UM will become the first healthcare institution in Malaysia to integrate HoloMedicine, a transformative technology that uses 3D holograms in clinical care and operating theatres.

The initiative aims to enhance surgical precision, improve access to medical care, enable remote expert consultations, and revolutionise medical education through immersive XR technologies. Bridging the digital gap will also position Malaysia as a global leader in health tourism and advanced medical education, providing students and professionals with hands-on experience in complex procedures and treatment strategies.

The three-year partnership is part of CelcomDigi’s broader initiative to advance digital healthcare, enhancing the accessibility, efficiency, and personalisation of care across Malaysia’s healthcare system. By integrating these cutting-edge technologies, the collaboration seeks to transform medical education and healthcare delivery, ensuring that future medical practitioners are equipped with the tools necessary to deliver exceptional care.

The effort will also strengthen Malaysia’s position in the global healthcare ecosystem, empowering healthcare providers with advanced digital solutions and positioning the country as a leader in innovative medical practices.
