Together with a team of 15 engineers, he is working to transform and disrupt key work processes through strategic digital intervention.

He has previously held policy roles in the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education, with a strong focus in healthcare finance and data analytics respectively.

Reimagining a Democratised Healthcare Sector

With an ever-increasing complexity of service models, healthcare data and patient needs, there is room for healthcare professionals and policy makers to explore new models of service delivery, policy planning and data analysis. In this short symposium, GovTech will present a suite of tools that has the potential to democratise healthcare data analytics and service delivery in Singapore. In partnership with the National Healthcare Group and the Ministry of Health, we will share how healthcare datasets can be more meaningfully and quickly harnessed for insights, and how centralised systems for care coordination may well be a thing of the past.
