Jurong Health Connect is a community health project started in Jurong, Singapore.
The project was initiated by then Acting Minister of Health Khaw Boon Wan, and was officially launched on 3 July 2004. Tan Cheng Bock served as the Chairman of the Jurong Health Connect Advisory Committee.[1] The aim is to develop a patient-centric, seamless, and accessible healthcare network for the residents in Jurong. Successful components of the pilot would then be replicated in other parts of Singapore.
One aspect of the initiative was a community web portal[2] that serves as a comprehensive hub for healthcare-related information in the Jurong area.[3] Beyond serving as a directory, the portal also provides self-administered questionnaires that recommend resources tailored to a resident's medical conditions and daily needs.[3] The web portal is supported by an information counter and a call centre hotline for residents who are less familiar with technology.
