Singapore trials Nervotec app that acts as first-line coronavirus defence
- Thursday | 25th February, 2021
SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Each morning before work at a Singapore construction site, Gunasekar Udayakumar, 41, gets his vital signs checked, without going to a clinic, or even seeing a nurse. All he needs is his smartphone, which in just 45 seconds can tell him his heart rate, oxygen levels and even his stress levels. The application, developed by Singapore startup Nervotec, is what construction firm Kajima considers its first line of defence against another outbreak of the coronavirus in Singapore. Nervotec founder Jonathan Lau said Singapore’s government was very interested in the technology.
