DIGITAL healthcare in Singapore got a fillip on Tuesday with the introduction of a first-of-its-kind elderly-fall prediction application.

Nokia said that it has partnered St Luke's Eldercare to trial "Asia's first fall prediction video analytics application" in the Republic, which can predict and prevent falls among the elderly. The trial will take three to six months.
