Medical equipment will be placed in the homes of some chronic disease patients or seniors and connected to wireless networks such as Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G, so that readings will be beamed directly to clinics they frequent. When there are anomalies, they will be asked to go for check-ups.
This is one of the projects under the Infocomm Media Masterplan.
