Sick of misplacing or damaging your MCs? ๐Ÿคง

6๏ธโƒฃ Key Takeaways:

๐Ÿ“ In 2017, about one million hardcopy MCs were generated by SingHealth.

๐Ÿ“ Hardcopy MCs are easily misplaced, damaged or forged. There could also be hassle of keeping records of employeesโ€™ submissions.

๐Ÿ’ป A team from Open Government Products has built a digital medical certificate system - DigiMC.

๐Ÿ’ป The team has put safeguards in place, to address privacy concerns about data disseminated on DigiMC. For example, patients are required to unlock the digital MC with their date of birth.

๐Ÿ’ป Employers need not worry about the authenticity of Digital MCs generated via DigiMC as they are hosted on a Government-affiliated web domain and each digital MC has a uniquely identifiable key.

๐Ÿ’ป The team plans to implement DigiMC across all SingHealth institutions by early 2020.

myResponder โ€” shave time, save lives โ€ผ๏ธ

5๏ธโƒฃ Key Takeaways:

๐Ÿ“ According to the SCDF, more than 1,900 people suffer from Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest every year in Singapore, with a survival rate of just 3%.

๐Ÿ’ป myResponder is an app developed by the SCDF in collaboration with GovTech.

๐Ÿ’ป The app enables the quick crowdsourcing of community first responders, to improve patients' chances of survival. With early performance of CPR, a suspected cardiac arrest patient's survival chance goes up by two to three times.

๐Ÿ’ป Whenever the SCDF is notified of a medical emergency and assesses it to be a case of cardiac arrest, it sends out a message to registered CFRs that are within 400 metres of the patient.

๐Ÿ“ As of September 2019, there are more than 60,000 registered responders and over 31,000 responses to cases.
