CONSUMERS IN SINGAPORE WANT SELF-DIRECTED HEALTHCARE ENABLED BY DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES, ACCORDING TO ACCENTURE REPORT

Majority willing to replace face-to-face doctor visit with digitally enabled “virtual” visit
 
SINGAPORE, July 20 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Consumers in Singapore are ready to accept self-directed healthcare driven by digital technologies, with more than half of them willing to use virtual-care technologies as a replacement for a face-to-face healthcare visit, according to a new report by Accenture (NYSE:ACN).

The report, titled Innovation-Powered Healthcare in Asia Pacific, is based on a three-country survey of 2,250 citizens – 750 each in Australia, Japan and Singapore. According to the report, 54 per cent of Singaporean consumers said they would forego a face-to-face visit with a physician in lieu of a virtual visit if that would enable them to be seen sooner.
