Synapxe: Transforming Singapore’s public health ecosystem

Founded as IHiS in 2008 and rebranded in 2023, Synapxe PTE. LTD. is Singapore’s national health tech agency under MOH Holdings. It provides end-to-end technology solutions across public healthcare institutions, including hospitals, clinics, and community care providers.

Key platforms like the National Electronic Health Record (NEHR) enable authorized healthcare professionals to securely access patient records across institutions. This ensures coordinated care and reduces duplication. Through HealthHub, patients can access personal health records, book appointments, and manage medications online, promoting individual engagement in healthcare.

Synapxe also supports standardization efforts through clinical terminologies like SNOMED CT and the Singapore Drug Dictionary (SDD), driving interoperability across the healthcare system.
