In February this year, 76-year-old Halim Yunos from Singapore made headlines here when he was reported missing while on holiday with his family in KL. His family were worried because he had mild dementia but after a week of searching, he was found safe. Wandering is common among people with dementia, and is often a cause for concern among family members. We unpack what family members should be prepared for with consultant geriatrician Dr Khor Hui Min.

When we think about healthcare, we often picture doctors and nurses on the frontlines. But behind many life-changing interventions, from artificial limbs to diagnostic devices, are biomedical engineers designing, building, and refining the technologies that make modern healthcare possible. On today’s episode of Humans of Healthcare, we speak to Dr Nooranida Arifin, a biomedical engineer specialising in prosthetics and orthotics, to understand how engineering meets medicine, and how this field is shaping more accessible and equitable healthcare systems.
