Driving Dynamic Research for Healthier Populations and Better Healthcare
Our mission is to transform and challenge the way health education, prevention, healthcare delivery, treatments and diagnostics occur for the better. Through our ideas and research, we aim to propel innovations that have a transformative impact: from policy and health systems, to accessible, affordable and high quality frontline care in order to ultimately improve the health of the population.
The most pressing challenge in population health, such as the dramatic increase of chronic conditions and infectious diseases, require more than a mono-disciplinary approach. Based in Singapore, our multidisciplinary, international and expert group of clinicians, scientists, and researchers work at different local, regional and global levels through various partnerships and collaborations.

Our active areas of research include digital health, digital education, and health services and outcomes research.
From Research to Impact

Our work aims to catalyse change in the four core pillars of
population health: chronic care management, quality and safety, public
health, and health policy.
Through our work, we:
INFORM policy-makers about the optimal future of healthcare
DEVELOP new
approaches and find innovative ways to solve complex health problems in today’s
world
CHANGE digital health, digital
education and health services and outcomes research for the better
BRING transformation into people's lives and health systems for healthier families, communities and populations
Population Health
We conceive population health as being a holistic
‘cradle to grave’ concept encompassing research from early childhood to end of
life, and moves beyond health systems and the continuum of care to individuals,
families, communities and societies. Population health is related to both the surveillance,
prevention, and management of health conditions, as well as the promotion of
healthy behaviours and lifestyles, seeking the physical, mental and social
wellbeing of the population.
Ideally, population health research should lead
to improved health outcomes in the population, and ensure those outcomes are
fairly distributed across society.
