SingHealth expands digital twin tech for better patient care

The new system was built on the achievements of the 3D-DOSS project.

SingHealth is increasing the adoption of digital twin technology to enhance patient care by improving disease outbreak surveillance, optimising healthcare facility workflows, and refining healthcare facility planning.

The "4 Dimensional Disease Outbreak Surveillance System" (4D-DOSS) is being implemented to enable various applications in healthcare settings, such as near real-time monitoring, analysis, prediction, and simulation of disease outbreaks and more.

This initiative builds upon the achievements of previous 3D-DOSS test projects, which have been in progress since 2020.

Its test results for the 3D-DOSS showed promising results where various data can be processed (patient symptoms, movement, and locations) and view results of laboratory and radiological tests.

The primary goal of 4D-DOSS is to enable various valuable applications in healthcare settings, such as real-time monitoring, analysis, and simulation of disease outbreaks.

This project is funded and supported by the Singapore General Hospital, the Ministry of Health, and SingHealth.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
