Healo is Building the Next Chapter of Digital Mental Healthcare in Malaysia
Infiheal is pleased to announce a collaboration with Dato Sivakumar Krishnan, Founder of Spectra Technologies Sdn Bhd and HTN Berhad, Malaysia, marking a meaningful step in Infiheal's expansion into Southeast Asia and its commitment to making AI-powered mental healthcare more accessible and integrated within evolving healthcare ecosystems.
A Partnership That Began in Geneva
The connection between Infiheal and Dato Sivakumar began at the 79th World Health Assembly in Geneva, where both were part of conversations shaping the future of global health policy and digital transformation in healthcare. The two reconnected in Malaysia during the National Cancer Society Malaysia Congress, where ongoing discussions around healthcare, digital adoption, and the evolving role of technology in care delivery eventually led to formalising the collaboration. It is the kind of partnership that started with a shared understanding of where healthcare needs to go, not just where it currently stands.
About Dato Sivakumar Krishnan and HTN Berhad
Dato Sivakumar Krishnan brings extensive experience across healthcare, digital health, and health technology in Malaysia. As Founder of HTN Berhad, he has built a cloud-based suite of digital healthcare solutions spanning hospital information systems, electronic medical records, telemedicine, medical imaging, laboratory information systems, and AI-enabled healthcare tools including products such as pacSENSE for digital healthcare management and LABsense for laboratory management.
His work extends well beyond building products. He has served as a Health Technology Advisor at MRANTI, Malaysia's innovation and commercialisation agency, contributing to accelerating health innovations to market. He has been a subject matter expert at PwC, a Corporate Advisor at Sengenics in precision medicine, and a board advisor at The Economist Intelligence Unit. He has also been closely involved with the National Cancer Society Malaysia and has spoken at major national health conferences on building strategic partnerships in health innovation, most recently at the National Health Technology Assessment Conference hosted by Malaysia's Ministry of Health.
His philosophy, articulated at that conference under the theme "Building Platforms, Not Pilots," reflects a conviction that Infiheal shares: that meaningful healthcare innovation must scale beyond proof-of-concept into durable systems that genuinely transform how care is delivered.
Why Malaysia, Why Now
Malaysia's healthcare system is undergoing significant digital transformation. The country has a structured approach to health information systems across tiers, a growing ecosystem of health technology companies, and active government investment in digital health adoption. Yet mental healthcare remains one of the most underprovided dimensions of the system, with demand consistently outpacing available resources and access remaining geographically and economically uneven.
As healthcare systems become increasingly digital and connected, mental healthcare needs to be woven into that transformation rather than treated as a separate track. The collaboration between Infiheal and Dato Sivakumar is built on exactly that premise: bringing together Infiheal's AI-powered mental health capabilities and HTN Berhad's deep experience in building and integrating digital health infrastructure across Malaysian healthcare institutions.
Looking Ahead
Infiheal looks forward to exploring how these respective capabilities can work together to make mental healthcare more accessible, scalable, and genuinely integrated within Malaysia's evolving healthcare ecosystem. This is the beginning of a chapter the team is excited to build, thoughtfully and in the right company.
