Preventive Health & Home Monitoring: From Treatment to Early Detection

Singapore’s healthcare system is moving from reactive treatment to proactive prevention. Conditions such as high blood pressure (hypertension), low blood pressure (hypotension), diabetes, and high cholesterol (hyperlipidaemia) are increasingly common.

• Hypotension. Abnormally low blood pressure that can cause dizziness, fatigue, or fainting when blood flow is insufficient for vital organs.

  
  

• Hyperlipidaemia. Excess fat or cholesterol in the bloodstream that quietly narrows arteries and raises the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Because these conditions often progress silently, early detection and consistent monitoring are essential. Regular self-checks reveal small changes before symptoms appear, allowing early medical advice or lifestyle adjustments that can dramatically cut long-term costs.

However, many individuals still face fragmented data — using different devices or manually recording results that cannot be compared or shared easily. This disconnect makes it difficult to spot patterns or act early.

POD GO bridges that gap. The HSA-approved 5-in-1 device unites blood-pressure, ECG, glucose, cholesterol, and uric-acid testing into a single, connected system. Results appear within seconds and sync automatically to one secure platform, giving families and clinics a continuous, unified view of health data.

Preventive care is no longer a yearly check-up; it is an everyday habit that keeps Singapore aligned with the Healthier SG vision of proactive wellbeing.
