Twenty years later, in 2011, as the director of Links Toan Cau – the first medical computing company in Vietnam, Tien set in motion an interface software project to connect information networks of hospitals via a partnership with Techno Project Japan Co (TPJ). It took the partners three years to launch their first joined attempts – pilot programs in Nghe An, Daklak and Hung Yen provinces, where the network of advanced software and applications has now been implemented in hospitals.
