AI in cancer care: Creating capacity for more patient care

Icon Writers / 29 Jul, 2026

As healthcare systems around the world face growing demand, the conversation about artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly focusing on how technology can support clinicians to deliver high-quality care to more patients.

Speaking at IHH Healthcare’s FutureHealth.Now 2026 conference in Singapore, Icon Group CEO Mark Middleton OAM shared his perspective on the role AI can play in shaping the future of cancer care. 

For Mark, the greatest opportunity lies in helping clinicians work more effectively by reducing administrative burden, improving efficiencies and creating more time for patient care. 

“Healthcare is, and always will be, a people business,” Mark said.  

“The real potential of AI is in supporting our clinicians, enabling them to focus on the complex decisions, relationships and compassionate care that only humans can provide.” 

As cancer incidence continues to rise globally, technologies that help healthcare professionals work smarter will play an important role in ensuring patients can continue to access timely, high-quality care. 

At Icon Group, innovation is focused on improving outcomes and experiences for patients while supporting the clinicians and healthcare teams who deliver care every day. AI and other emerging technologies have the potential to streamline workflows, enhance decision-making and reduce the risk of workforce burnout, helping create capacity across the healthcare system. 

Watch the video below to hear Mark’s insights on why the future of AI in healthcare is about empowering clinicians to care for more patients, not fewer.
