Singapore Smart Healthcare

All countries are now facing the problem of population aging. For this reason, Singapore has specially considered this reality in smart medical care. For the past two years, Singapore has been experimenting with the "Elderly Monitoring System" (EMS), a non-invasive A revolutionary system detects the activity of elderly people by installing sensors on doors and indoors. Once the monitored person lacks signs of activity or the system detects other accidents, the system will immediately send an alarm to their family members or professionals. The system is designed to "provide greater peace of mind for those with elderly family members", while also benefiting families with people at high risk of health problems. This measure greatly reduces the risk of people failing to fulfill their family obligations through daily testing.

This EMS system is currently only in the experimental stage, and some private sectors are also involved in this EMS system, but the difference between these partners and the testing project lies in who will implement it. All costs for the current trial phase are borne by the government and will be paid by residents when the service is fully implemented. The commercialization of initial projects is seen as the key to national intelligence, and the experimental opportunities provided by the government paved the way for commercialization.

In addition, Singapore's smart medical care is also piloting "telemedicine", so that users can get medical services without going out or seeing a doctor. The "tele-rehabilitation" experiment, launched in late 2014 and now almost complete, aims to provide stroke patients with rehabilitation services without them having to travel to a hospital or rehabilitation center. Dr. Balakrishnan said that "telemedicine can achieve treatment at home, and patients can spend more time with their families without going to the hospital. This measure can also provide convenience for patients' families because he can provide hospital beds to Patients who really need it."

In the "telemedicine" pilot, visiting patients has brought great convenience. Patients can use the tablet computer to carry out recovery training. As they train, sensors and cameras will capture their tracks and transmit the data remotely to treating doctors. Patients and doctors also have weekly face-to-face video consultations through the tablet.
