NUHS app adds emergency wait times, pre-arrival health declarations

The platform also includes a location-based tool to identify nearby clinics.

The National University Health System has rolled out new digital features in its app that provide information on emergency wait times and enable health declarations to be completed before arrival.

Patients heading to the emergency departments (EDs) of National University Hospital, Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, or Alexandra Hospital’s (AH) Urgent Care Centre (UCC) can complete a health declaration form in the app.

The form allows users or their caregivers to input relevant information such as symptoms and recent travel history.

The app also provides real-time information on estimated wait times at the EDs and AH UCC, with wait times refreshed every 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, those uncertain whether symptoms warrant a hospital visit can access the NurseFirst helpline via the platform.

Furthermore, the app includes a location-based tool to identify nearby clinics, including GPFirst and PaedsENGAGE facilities, within a two-kilometre radius.

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.
