Hii everyone, We're a team trying to make healthcare more accessible and transparent across Singapore, and I wanted to share what we’re building and get some raw feedback from this community!

How it works:
We noticed a gap: public hospitals are facing increasing demand, while private clinics often have empty "down-time" slots. We match patients to these off-peak slots at private clinics at affordable, fully transparent rates.

It's designed to be a win-win:
- For patients: Access to affordable, faster private healthcare.

- For clinics: Maximizing their schedule and revenue during quiet hours.

- For the system: Helping off-load the strain on public hospitals.

We currently have over 150+ clinic partners in SG covering dental care, dermatology, MRI scans, and orthopaedics! Since we are in the early stages, we are obsessed with getting the customer journey right. If you're interested, check out the link below and let us know what services you'd find most useful, your input will directly shape what we build next! 

Bonus: If you decide to try us out, please DM me! We are actually offering to personally accompany our early users to their clinic appointments. We want to understand your exact experience on the ground, hear your raw feedback, and figure out how we can improve.

Happy to answer any questions in the comments about the tech, the clinics, or how it works! :)

Hey r/singaporestartups, I'm a recent university graduate and first-time founder based in SG. I have founded a startup with the vision of making healthcare more accessible and affordable. A big part of the idea came from research through surveys, interviews, and many many conversations with patients and clinics. One thing came up consistently - COST $$$ being a real barrier, especially for those not covered by any government schemes, and that leads to people delaying/ skipping care altogether. At the same time, public healthcare is getting increasingly stretched e.g., longer wait times, rising demand from an ageing population, and more complex care needs. Many patients eventually turn to private care, where prices can feel prohibitive. On the other hand, many private clinics usually have unused capacity during off-peak hours. So the idea behind what I built is simple -> match patients to these off-peak slots at lower prices, while keeping pricing transparent and avoiding any hardselling/ upselling.

We are starting with dental as our first vertical. Clinics list off-peak appointments (typically around $40-50 for scaling and polishing), and patients can book them directly. Same MOH-registered dentists and a better use of existing capacity. We also currently have more than 120 outlets across Singapore. We will be doing community roadshows starting in June, see you there!

Note: This is independently built, I am not affiliated with or promoting any specific clinics. The goal is to build something meaningful that improves access to healthcare, starting with dental and eventually expanding into other areas.

I am looking for honest feedback; if you are keen to try or want access to more affordable bookings, feel free to reach out. Happy to answer any quesitons about how it works! ☆
