Startups focusing on 'continuity of care' flourish in SG's booming health tech sector

HEALTHCARE 

The majority of healthcare technology startups in Singapore are in the teleconsultation space, and only a few are offering solutions that can improve the continuity of care across players and institutions in the sector.

Such is the challenge of “fragmented data,” which is a key concern of many healthcare institutions and players, as pointed out by Dr. Xinhong Lim, a life science expert, partner and managing director at Vickers Venture Partners.

“Healthcare data is often fragmented across different systems and facilities, making it challenging to have a comprehensive view of a patients’ medical history,” Lim told the Singapore Business Review.

“We need to develop systems that allow portability and seamless sharing of patient data across different healthcare providers and platforms,” he said, noting that such data management and interoperability solutions ultimately lead to better coordination of care of patients.
