Professor Joe Sim, Group Chief Executive Officer of NHG Health, said, “This partnership with ST Engineering is precisely what NHG Health needs to accelerate our journey towards a technology-driven future in healthcare. It allows us to infuse our deep clinical expertise with their advanced engineering and IT integration capabilities, creating powerful synergies that will directly translate into tangible improvements, enhanced patient flow, optimised resource utilisation, reduced environmental impact, and an elevated overall patient experience. This is about using technology strategically to deliver smarter, more seamless healthcare, for our patients and staff.”
“This strategic partnership with NHG Health is built on our shared commitment to transform healthcare through technology. Together, we will be co-developing smart systems that enhance operational efficiency and support better care outcomes across the healthcare ecosystem,” said Vincent Chong, Group President & CEO, ST Engineering. “With a strong track record in complex, mission-critical environments and deep engineering expertise, ST Engineering is uniquely positioned to support NHG Health in advancing a more resilient, efficient, and patient-centred healthcare system.”
The agreement builds on existing collaborations and will deliver several transformative initiatives, including:
The
next-generation
C3
centre
at
Tan
Tock
Seng
Hospital
(TTSH)
by
2030
The
C3
(Command,
Control
and
Communication)
centre,
in
collaboration
with
Synapxe,
has
proven
to
be
a
game-changer
in
orchestrating
patient
flow
and
resource
management
across
TTSH
and
the
National
Centre
for
Infectious
Diseases
(NCID),
enhancing
operational
efficiency
and
care
delivery.
Building
on
this
foundation,
a
next-generation
C3
centre,
leveraging
smarter,
more
predictive
system
capabilities
will
be
explored
under
this
MCA.
This
enhanced
version
will
mark
the
start
of
an
exciting
new
chapter
in
transforming
how
care
is
managed
cluster
wide.
Value-based,
patient-centred
care
supported
by
smart
technology
As
a
proponent
of
workforce
transformation
for
sustainable
healthcare,
NHG
Health
will
work
with
ST
Engineering
to
leverage
innovative
solutions
to
optimise
manpower
scheduling
and
automate
workflows
across
the
cluster
to
deliver
timely
and
value-based
care.
For
example,
at
Woodlands
Health,
autonomous
mobile
robots
developed
by
ST
Engineering
are
already
in
operation
–
delivering
food
and
linen
within
the
hospital.
The
robots
carry
out
400
trips
daily,
freeing
up
some
100
man-hours
per
day
for
patient
care,
raising
overall
patient
experience
and
job
satisfaction.
Sustainable
cooling
and
smart
energy
optimisation
As
part
of
its
push
toward
more
sustainable
care
environments,
NHG
Health
will
trial
two
smart
energy
solutions
from
ST
Engineering.
The
Airbitat
Energy
Recovery
System,
a
deep
cooling
system,
is
expected
to
deliver
up
to
30%
energy
savings
compared
to
conventional
systems,
enhancing
patient
comfort
while
reducing
the
facility’s
energy
footprint.
NHG
Health
will
also
explore
the
AGIL®
Smart
Energy
Building
suite
of
energy
optimisation
solutions
across
its
facilities
to
enable
centralised
carbon
tracking
and
intelligent
energy
management.
Engineering
Sandbox—a
collaborative
testbed
to
address
real-world
healthcare
challenges
NHG
Health
and
ST
Engineering
will
set
up
an
Engineering
Sandbox—a
collaborative
testbed
designed
to
address
patient
and
operational
pain
points
by
fast-tracking
the
co-development
of
healthcare
solutions
with
engineers,
clinical
and
operations
staff.
The
team
at
the
Engineering
Sandbox
will
actively
work
with
use
case
owners
to
determine
project
requirements
to
enhance
productivity
and
optimise
limited
healthcare
resources
while
ensuring
quality
and
safe
patient
care.
This Sandbox, hosted at NHG Health’s Centre for Healthcare Innovation, will support innovation trials, accelerate feedback loops between users and technology developers, and help de-risk and validate solutions for safe, scalable deployment across the cluster.
NHG Health and ST Engineering signed the agreement at the opening ceremony of CHI Innovate 2025. The signing was witnessed by Minister for Health Ong Ye Kung as Guest-of-Honour for the event.
