Healthtech Startup Speedoc Announces Partnership with Parkway Shenton

Singapore's first healthtech startup Speedoc announced a partnership with Parkway Shenton, Singapore's primary healthcare provider, on Wednesday.

The partnership will leverage Speedoc's expertise in providing hospital-level care to expand care options for Parkway Shenton patients, extending their reach into the community while providing medical care in the comfort of patients' homes, according to a statement from Speedoc.

Parkway Shenton, the primary care arm of IHH Healthcare Singapore, operates over 50 general practitioner (GP) clinics, family medicine clinics, and in-house clinics across the island.

The company offers a wide range of healthcare services, including acute and chronic disease treatment, as well as preventive health, health promotion, and screening.

The company plans to offer patients 24/7 doctor and nurse house calls, remote health monitoring, medical consultations, and hospital-level care at home.

"We are making significant strides towards fulfilling our promise to build and strengthen the health of our communities," said Tay Wee Kai, CEO of Parkway Shenton.

Aside from working on the ground, he believes that forming partnerships with innovative home-care providers like Speedoc will allow the companies to leverage each other's strengths to provide patients with more timely and holistic care.

“By leveraging technology, we are able to scale our services without compromising quality of care”

“This partnership will also ensure our operations remain sustainable in the long run and our patients receive the care they need anytime, anywhere,” he added.
