Singapore

Virtual hospitals for home care

From April, Singapore is adding virtual hospitals to the healthcare scene. Once these have been fully integrated and scaled up, the Mobile Inpatient Care at Home (MIC@Home) scheme could replace the need for another large public hospital. Under the scheme, patients remain at home but are looked after by hospital teams, either through videoconferencing and teleconferencing, or in person. They are provided with any equipment they might need, such as a blood pressure monitor, thermometer and walking frames. Eligibility criteria includes patients being clinically stable and unlikely to require intensive hospital care. There should also be sufficient support system at home, besides Internet connectivity for online consultations. The Straits Times
