About PTEC Home Blood Pressure Monitoring Programme

The Primary Tech-Enhanced Care (PTEC) Programme helps patients to manage chronic conditions from the comfort of their home, with a simple-to-use kit.

PTEC for Blood Pressure

The Primary Tech-Enhanced Care (PTEC) Home Blood Pressure Monitoring Programme supports patients with hypertension in managing their condition effectively from home. It is especially beneficial for individuals with busy lifestyles or reduced mobility who find frequent clinic visits challenging. As an extension of our telemedicine services, the programme enhances care quality by empowering patients through education and self-management, enabling better control of blood pressure, prevention of disease progression, and reduction of complications.

PTEC is currently available in all polyclinics around Singapore.
