Biosketch

Dr Sun Chen-Hsin is a clinician-engineer. He graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 2008 with a Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering, and Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2009. In 2013, he received Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) from Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School. After completing his Ophthalmology residency clinician-scientist training in 2019, he was accredited by the Specialists Accreditation Board as a specialist in Ophthalmology by Ministry of Health of Singapore.

As he has special interests in managing progressive myopia in children and developing paediatric Ophthalmology medical devices, he developed a wearable device to track outdoor time and near reading. These are both important factors in determining myopia progression. He is also developing an ambulatory biometer to measure the elongation of eyeball in children. This will allow precise monitoring of the myopia progression of children, optimising their course of treatment.
