Singapore, 8
January 2016 – Singtel is putting the Singapore consumer at the center of its smart
cities initiative for the first time with the development of innovative
solutions for smart living.

Health and elderly monitoring –
measuring elderly activities, tracking personal health data through connected
health devices like blood pressure monitor, glucometer, pulse oximeter,
thermometer and weighing scale

Connected cars – providing driving analytics, basic maintenance
information, vehicle diagnostics and receiving real-time information on traffic conditions
