NTFGH launches population allergy database for allergic rhinitis

Project ENTenna will track up to 6,000 patients from 2024 to 2026.

Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH) has unveiled “Project ENTenna”, a multi-year programme to establish a population allergy database focused on allergic rhinitis (AR).

The programme will track up to 6,000 patients over three years, from 2024 to 2026, using WhatsApp chatbots, AI-powered symptom trackers, and behavioural nudges to support self-management of AR symptoms.

The initiative aims to improve the diagnosis and long-term management of the condition, which affects about 39% of Singaporeans.

The project is led by NTFGH, with support from the National University Hospital, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Changi General Hospital, and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
