SG Diagnostics Pte Ltd
About Company
SG Diagnostics is a medical device company specializing in point-of-care testing for chronic diseases, including HbA1c and lipid profile tests. Our mission is to enhance lives by empowering individuals with greater health awareness through accessible and accurate testing.
About Solution
Our proposed solution, the PreciS Health Management System, is designed to enhance the chronic diseases management in Singapore and beyond, particularly for high-risk elderly individuals who may not regularly access healthcare services. By raising public health awareness and improving aging-related chronic disease management, we aim to benefit both the public health and individuals.
In partnership with SGO, we will introduce a door-to-door health screening initiative, involving visiting homes to perform point-of-care tests for key health parameters such as HbA1c, a full lipid profile, and blood pressure, utilizing our handheld analyzers.
Powered by the HbA1c handheld solution, co-developed by SG Diagnostics and the National Healthcare Group, the screening process is streamlined and efficient. All data will be securely stored in the cloud and, ideally, shared in real-time with healthcare providers to facilitate immediate follow-up and care.
Beyond health screenings, we will use this opportunity to educate individuals on chronic disease management, including key programs such as Healthier SG, the War on Diabetes initiative, and practical diabetes management tips. Our solution aims to advance early detection and awareness of chronic diseases, enhance public health efforts, and support timely intervention and better health management within the community.

Singapore is at the forefront of preparing for a super-aged society, anticipating that by 2023, 1 in 4 citizens will be aged 65 and above. The Age Well SG initiative, a comprehensive national program, underscores the commitment to support seniors in aging actively and independently within their homes and communities. However, the challenge lies in addressing the evolving and diverse care needs of the elderly, fostering holistic well-being, and enhancing the effectiveness of existing efforts.
Strengthening Care for a Healthier and Resilient Ageing Society
Problem Statement:
How might disruptive innovations enhance existing efforts, bridge critical gaps and fulfil unmet needs in the holistic care of the elderly and young seniors, so as to create sustainable (business model and environment perspective) and personalised care models?
We are seeking scalable, end-to-end and sustainable (business model and environment perspective) solutions to promote personalised medical intervention, self-care, and right-sited care. This may include solutions such as:
-
Point of Care testing (i.e. diagnostic) solutions to transform disease diagnosis and support clinical decision to develop timely personalised care plans and/or treatments based on individuals’ risk profiles.
-
Digital innovations and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enhanced solutions that help to better predict, prevent and manage chronic diseases.
-
Wearables and sensors to bring supportive care closer to home, empowering individuals to self-manage their health status and receive personalised health and lifestyle coaching. This may pertain to eating healthily, increasing physical activities, taking their medications and routinely going for medical check-ups.
Your solution and proposal outcomes should be backed by clinical evidence and data. Submit your application today to contribute to the evolution of elderly care, promoting a future where aging is synonymous with vitality and independence.
