The scanning software was among the projects showcased at the launch of national healthtech agency Synapxe’s new innovation lab and office at the Elementum building in Buona Vista on Sept 18.Addressing Synapxe employees and industry partners at the opening event, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung praised Synapxe for its progress in digitalising the sector, including its progressive roll-out of the next-generation electronic medical record system and its cyber-security initiatives.

Such events will help projects such as Nervotec’s scanning technology draw more interest, enabling new uses for them to be discovered. Mr Lau declined to explain further how the software determines the haemoglobin and SpO2 levels as it is the software’s “secret sauce”, adding that the technology is still being peer-reviewed and will soon be trained on up to 1,000 patients’ scans to improve the accuracy of each reading.
