Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC) introduced Connected Care, a revolutionary remote patient care ecosystem that transforms healthcare delivery by bringing seamless services directly to patients’ homes.
In line with SJMC’s commitment to innovation, SJMC has collaborated with the Malaysian Research Accelerator for Technology & Innovation (MRANTI) and joined the MRANTI HealthTech Hub, an initiative by the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI) and the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH), to drive further advancements in healthcare technology and foster transformative innovation in patient care.
“We want to shift from patients to people, from healthcare to health, from hospital to home. With the launch of Connected Care, we bring a transformative revolution to healthcare delivery, empowering patients with seamless access to professional and affordable care in the comfort of their own homes. Our participation in the MRANTI HealthTech Hub further solidifies our commitment to collaborating for greater impact, driving advancements in healthcare technology, and fostering transformative innovation to spur the industry forward,” said Bryan Lin, Chief Executive Officer of SJMC.
Connected Care marks a significant milestone in SJMC’s commitment to building a comprehensive, end-to-end healthcare system. This innovative ecosystem expands upon SJMC’s existing HomeConnect and TeleConnect services, encompassing six areas of care with the latest addition, SeniorConnect.
This service caters specifically to senior patients aged 65 years and above, who could be living apart from their loved ones with the support of a caregiver.
SeniorConnect, a core component of Connected Care, offers remote patient monitoring services tailored to the unique needs of senior patients. Through this service, healthcare professionals can accurately record and closely monitor individuals’ vital signs daily and deploy immediate help if necessary.
The advanced remote monitoring system ensures that seniors receive the necessary care and attention, promoting their well-being and peace of mind to their loved ones.
As part of this collaboration, SJMC and the MRANTI Healthtech Hub will join forces as sandbox partners, providing a platform for technology companies to test and validate their products.
This effort offers an invaluable opportunity for these companies to showcase their solutions, and if their products align with SJMC’s needs, there is potential for SJMC to procure and implement these technologies.
“Together, we aim to evaluate how these technologies perform in real healthcare settings and ensure the best possible outcomes for patients. This collaboration will bring value not only to MRANTI HealthTech Hub but also to our Integrated Healthcare Cluster (IHC) that will be developed through public-private collaboration. IHC will be a one-stop centre to accelerate local R&D commercialisation and technology adoption in healthcare and medicine,” said Dzuleira Abu Bakar, Chief Executive Officer of MRANTI.
