OVERWHELMED healthcare systems during the global pandemic forced industry professionals to refocus efforts to keep populations from becoming patients. But this shift to prioritising preventative care over sick care is not without new data hurdles for clinics and labs. 

One can only imagine how these data pools are growing across Southeast Asia. Just two months ago Singapore’s Ministry of Health announced one of its most fundamental changes by establishing Healthier SG. This new scheme connects every individual to a familiar health provider who, through a trusted relationship, aims to be more effective in encouraging behaviour changes for good health and to detect any symptoms of sinister disease earlier.
