Singapore implemented standards to promote the connectivity and sharing of digital health data.
Summary
The Singapore government announced two new national standards (SS719:2025 and SS720:2025) to enhance connectivity and data sharing in the digital health sector. This is expected to improve interoperability across various medical data, including electronic records and remote care.
Details
The Singapore government, involving organizations like Synapxe, announced two national standards, SS719:2025 and SS720:2025, aimed at strengthening data sharing and connectivity in the digital health sector. SS719:2025 is a guideline on standardizing medical record data. It provides a national framework for structuring, classifying, and exchanging information—such as patient data, diagnoses, lab results, or prescriptions—between different healthcare systems. This standard references international terminologies like SNOMED CT and LOINC while incorporating local resources such as the Singapore Drug Dictionary to meet unique regional needs. SS720:2025 focuses on managing information from remote care. It addresses integrating data collected from devices and platforms in hospitals or at home. This standard mandates the use of APIs based on the international HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standard, enabling biometric data (like heart rate, blood pressure, or glucose levels) and data from remote health apps to be sent consistently and securely into the electronic medical record. This supports new care models like 'Mobile Inpatient Care-at-Home,' aiming to reduce system integration costs and expand patient options. These standards will be implemented in Synapxe's 'HealthX Innovation Sandbox 2.0,' a simulation environment where startups can test products using data and processes similar to real hospital settings, facilitating smooth integration into the national healthcare system. The government emphasizes that these standards aim not just for technical advancement but for building a sustainable and secure smart health ecosystem.
