The market is benefiting from Vietnam's National Digital Transformation Programme and National Strategy on Research, Development and Application of Artificial Intelligence, both of which are encouraging healthcare providers to adopt AI-powered solutions across clinical and operational workflows. Increasing investment in electronic health records, cloud computing and digital infrastructure is creating the foundation for widespread AI adoption throughout the healthcare system. (imarcgroup.com)
Several long-term trends are accelerating market growth:
- Growing demand for AI-assisted diagnostic imaging and clinical decision support.
- Rising prevalence of chronic diseases requiring predictive and personalised healthcare.
- Expansion of electronic health records (EHRs) and digital health platforms.
- Increasing use of machine learning, computer vision and natural language processing in healthcare.
- Greater investment in precision medicine, predictive analytics and hospital workflow automation.
- Strong collaboration between Vietnamese healthcare providers and global technology companies. (imarcgroup.com)
Medical imaging remains one of the most significant areas of adoption, with AI helping radiologists detect cancers, cardiovascular disease and neurological disorders more quickly and accurately. AI is also being deployed across pathology, clinical decision support, robotic surgery, drug discovery, clinical trial optimisation, virtual nursing assistants and administrative workflow automation, improving both patient outcomes and operational efficiency.

The rapid growth of AI in healthcare reflects Vietnam's wider digital health transformation. IMARC Group estimates the country's digital health market reached US$2.84 billion in 2025 and is projected to expand to US$9.52 billion by 2034, while Vietnam's broader artificial intelligence market is forecast to grow from US$865.1 million to US$2.99 billion over the same period. These adjacent markets are creating a strong foundation for continued investment in AI-powered healthcare solutions. (imarcgroup.com; imarcgroup.com)
Vietnam is also attracting significant international investment in AI infrastructure. NVIDIA recently announced a strategic partnership with the Vietnamese government to establish AI research capabilities and develop national AI infrastructure, while Qualcomm has expanded its AI research activities in Vietnam. Local technology companies, including FPT Corporation and VinBrain, are also developing AI solutions for medical imaging, diagnostics and hospital operations, reinforcing Vietnam's position as an emerging regional centre for healthcare innovation.
