Synapxe officially opens innovation lab Terrarium
The lab will develop new HealthTech solutions and platforms.
Synapxe's new innovation lab Terrarium has officially opened.
Minister for Health Ong Ye Kung officially launched the lab on 18 September 2024, marking the opening of the national HealthTech agency's new location at Elementum in One-North.
The lab will develop new HealthTech solutions and platforms for the country’s healthcare needs.
One project showcased at Terrarium showed Synapxe collaborating with local startups to achieve the portable SoundEye Lasso Fall Detection, a contactless mobile device that detects and prevents falls.
A product of Synapxe’s HealthX journey, it was piloted at Singapore Christian Home (SCH). It is now being further developed for hospital use.
Synapxe also tapped into AI technology with Visual Pillbox, a collaboration between Synapxe and Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH). It uses GenAI technology to generate customised medication intake schedulers, which aims to enhance patient education and adherence.
Another initiative that utilises GenAI is Health Kaki, created to personalise recommendations based on health goals discussed during consultations.
