Many of you may not know the name
IHiS - it is the IT outfit of
Ministry of Health, Singapore, developing solutions for healthcare.
It has done a lot of good. IHiS supports the operations of 46 public healthcare institutions as well as some 1,400 partners in the community such as nursing homes and General Practitioners.
It also developed HealthHub, which is used by about one million of us every month to manage our medical appointments and view health records.
During COVID-19, it developed a system to help individuals at Community Care Facilities (CCFs) to monitor their own vital signs, freeing up manpower at the CCFs. It linked up all the IT systems of COVID-19 vaccination centres so that we could implement the national vaccination programme.
Today, IHiS celebrated its 15th anniversary and launched a new identity called Synapxe.
Synapses are nodes in our bodies transmitting information between neurons, so that our bodies function as one.
Synapxe too will ensure that patient medical records, data, care and medication, and healthcare subsidies and assistance can flow seamlessly throughout the healthcare ecosystem.
I thank IHiS for 15 years of service to public healthcare and look forward to its continued contributions as Synapxe.
