The Enterprise Challenge Awards 2004

Singapore, 13 October 2004

The Enterprise Challenge (TEC) of the Prime Minister's Office is a $29 million fund set up to provide sponsorship for innovative proposals that have the potential to create new value or significant improvements to the delivery of public services. TEC provides sponsorship of funds and test beds for such innovations that need to be trial tested so that their feasibility and practicality can be proven.

Dr Goh Zenton, CEO of Cadi Scientific Pte Ltd and Mr Tan Boon Chin, Executive Director of SI Group of NEC Solutions Asia Pacific Pte Ltd proudly received The Enterprise Challenge Innovator Award from Mr Lim Siong Guan, Head of Civil Service of Singapore, during the Public Service for the 21st Century - ExCEL Convention and Award Ceremony 2004. This ceremony was organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and held at the Ministry of Education.

The title of proposal for this award is Wireless Automated Temperature Detection System. This system, also known as ThermoSense Pro is a wireless automated temperature tracking system for use in hospitals. This system was successfully piloted in Singapore General Hospital, the Enterprising Agency Award Winner for this proposal. 

With ThermoSense Pro, hospitals can now have peace of mind. By continuously measuring, recording and analyzing inpatients' body temperatures 24/7, patients can now enjoy uninterrupted rest while nurses are relieved of their menial duties to concentrate on more demanding tasks. As ThermoSense Pro inherently traces and monitors inpatients' movements, patients exact locations are identified at any time too.
