Community hospital adopts tracking system developed by SMU students

Ang Mo Kio-Thye Hua Kwan Hospital (AMKH) has adopted a new visitor check-in and tracking system developed by SMU School of Information Systems student. The new system, known as Stepwise, uses simple user-friendly technology and is fully integrated with the hospital's existing patient database. Using Stepwise, hospital staff scan the NRIC's of visitors upon entry and exit to the hospital wards. Once logged in the system, staff are able to track the contact between visitors and patients. Stepwise also allows for the visualisation of visitor data. Stepwise was developed by a team of six SMU students as their final year project. Students put on display 14 projects, including queue shortening mobile app CHOMP, in SMU.
