How did VinBrain come into existence?
After 26 years abroad, spending 13 years as the Director of Engineering and AI Innovation at Microsoft in the United States, I returned to Vietnam. my homeland, in 2019. The founding of VinBrain can be traced back to a series of coincidental events that occurred at that time, nearly five years ago.
Witnessing my mother's stroke firsthand on one back-home occasion made me acutely aware of healthcare challenges in Vietnam. Leaving my 13-year leadership at Microsoft, I answered Vietnam's billionaire, Chair of Vingroup, Pham Nhat Vuong's call to build a global tech alliance with Vietnamese talents, fueled by ‘forever the entrepreneurship spirit’. Consequently, the firm determination of 18 like-minded talents beside me, who bred the seed of VinBrain in 2019, led us on a mission to alleviate patient suffering and relieve the overburdened healthcare workforce through advanced AI technologies. We aspired to build a health tech company where the core technology was developed by Vietnamese talents, breaking away from the conventional practice of importing solutions from overseas. ‘Infuse AI and IoT to improve people's lives and productivity’ is the company's mission to streamline all its efforts and activities and enable diagnostic radiology and digital healthcare transformation to accelerate to the next level of excellence.
What are the key technological advancements that have propelled VinBrain's position as a leader in AI solutions for healthcare?

This integration enables a seamless exchange of information between these two historically separate domains - one focused on data management and the other on overseeing physical operations. This enables various aspects of the manufacturing process to gain insights from one another to boost efficiency and refine strategic decision-making. Digital transformation is essential for directing companies through the complexities of implementation and ensuring a seamless shift to a data-driven, digitally optimized manufacturing landscape.
