The Case of Singapore

Box 4 – OneService App for detect infestations

OneService app
The OneService app is also able to provide information on insect infestations that may cause health
hazards. It is able to alert users if they are near dengue clusters. Users who enable the dengue cluster
alert on the app will be able to see the number of cases in the neighbourhood, as well as the block of
flats in which these cases are located. This helps improve the living environment and conditions for
Singaporeans by potentially limiting the spread of this disease.

Other initiatives for consideration:
Smart-enabled homes

The Smart Enabled Home initiative in Yuhua estate is a collaborative effort between IMDA (then
known as IDA) and HDB, in partnership with NEA, PUB and MOH, to explore opportunities to
enable improved living conditions for residents in HDB households through the use of Smart
Home technologies such as Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) and the Home Water
Management Systems (HWMS). In-home trials are being used to garner insights on residents’
receptiveness towards smart home services and their impact on residents’ behaviour in resource
conservation through real-time usage trends for Energy and Water. The learning points from the
trial will also guide the mass deployment of such smart home solutions throughout Singapore
should the trial prove this to be feasible and financially viable.
Integrated storm management system ("Real-time sensors in drain”)

Real-time sensors are progressively being deployed around Singapore to monitor the country’s
drainage system. These water level sensors provide data on water levels in the drains and canals,
enhancing the monitoring of real-time conditions during heavy storms. An SMS alert system on
the rising water level is also available on subscription and will facilitate timely updates to the
public on potential flash floods. Plans are in progress to increase the number of sensors so
expanding the coverage to more areas in Singapore.
