Video Consultation with SHP

Patients who are on follow up with SingHealth Polyclinics for Hypertension, Hyperlipidaemia, Diabetes, Thyroid disease, Hepatitis B, Osteoporosis, Stroke, IHD, Chronic Kidney disease, and Asthma may be eligible for video consultation.
Patients can speak to their doctors during consultation. The doctors will make an assessment on their eligibility.
Patients need to have their own home blood pressure monitoring device as well as internet enabled devices (e.g. smartphone, tablet, laptop).
Patients will be required to see a doctor at the clinic at least once a year and attend any laboratory and preventive health screenings, such as diabetic eye and foot screenings.
All doctor consultations (at clinics or through video) are done with the same standard of care. The attending doctor will perform a thorough history-taking, review laboratory results and prescribe medication based on his/her assessment. The only difference is that physical examinations cannot be carried out during video consultation. Patients will be advised by their doctors if there is a need for consultation and physical examination at the clinic. Appointments for consultation at the clinic will be made accordingly.
To ensure patient confidentiality, no recording will be allowed throughout the video consultation. The doctors are also using organisational approved Zoom accounts and devices to conduct video consultation.
Blood test results are available on Health Buddy App and Health Hub.
