![#part1 When Dr Bosty asked about the target audience, at that time, we were still in the midst of strategising. And Andrea’s reply later was “Our session spans a broad generational spectrum, from tech-native youth to those in their prime and senior years. By addressing both groups together, Dr Bosty’s goal was to facilitate a meaningful exchange where modern technical skills and deep professional experience can converge and enrich one another.
[Dr Bosty on Digital Health: More Than Just a Video Call The Reality of Telemedicine Today]
If you look around this room, you’ll notice something surprising: despite “telemedicine” being a major buzzword since the pandemic, less than a third of us actually use it. For many, telemedicine is still synonymous with a simple Zoom or WhatsApp call. However, as we bridge the gap between traditional medicine and the digital generation, it is clear that digital health is far more than a screen - it is an entire ecosystem designed to support you through every stage of life.
Data from Dame & Sire (2023) shows that only 28% of Singaporeans used telemedicine in the last two years. Interestingly, 90% of those users were accessing specialised digital care for the first time. This highlights the massive potential we have to integrate digital health into our families’ lives from youth through the prime years and into retirement.
[The Digital Sandwich Generation]
As women, we often find ourselves at the center of the household, acting as the Chief Medical Officer for the family. You aren’t just managing your own health; you’re looking out for your husband (who sometimes feels like a ‘second son’), your children, your aging parents, and even the family pet.
Managing these intertwined schedules is a ginormous task. This is where digital health shines. It offers convenience and privacy for topics that are often hard to discuss in a traditional, crowded clinic setting:
- Youth: S**ual health, skin concerns, and mental wellness.
- The Prime Years: Fertility, birth control, and weight management.
- The Golden Years: Longevity, menopause, and chronic disease tracking.

![The health talk also highlighted the critical disparities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) management between men and women.
The current state of care can be summarised by the “Five Unders”: women are consistently under-prevented, under-diagnosed, under-treated, under-studied, and their biological uniqueness remains under-appreciated.
[Preventive Screenings & Actions]
To maintain optimal heart health, Dr Tan provided several practical recommendations for maintaining heart health:
- Lifestyle Habits: Maintaining a healthy balanced diet, ensuring good sleep, and regular exercise.
- Medical Check-ups: The importance of annual check-ups that include cardiovascular risk assessment and strict adherence to prescribed medications for conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.
- Stress & Substance Management: Utilising relaxation therapies, avoiding smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption according to World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines.
🌟Healthy and balanced diet; Good Sleep!🌟

![[Menopause: The Unspoken Word] featuring Dr Bosty Chan for International Women’s Day 2026 x Nanyang Medical Group.
In this insightful talk delivered at the International Women’s Day 2026 “World of Women and AI” event, Dr Bosty Chan breaks the silence surrounding one of the most misunderstood stages of a woman’s life: Menopause. Aligned with this year’s global call to action, “Give To Gain,” Dr Chan emphasised that by giving women the knowledge and tools to understand their own bodies, we gain a stronger, more empowered community.
[Key Takeaways from the Presentation]
The “Second Puberty”: Understanding Perimenopause as a 12-to-24-month journey that often begins well before the age of 50.
The Asian Experience: Why symptoms in Singapore often present differently than the “hot flushes” seen in Western media, focusing instead on muscle aches, joint pain, and mental exhaustion.
The “Trust” Gap: Addressing the startling statistic that less than half of medical professionals feel confident managing menopause symptoms.
Modern Management: A look at the safety of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and how digital health can provide a private, comfortable space for women to seek help.
Self-Assessment: How to use the International Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) to track your own health journey.
[Why Watch?]
Whether you are currently navigating these changes or supporting a colleague, friend, or partner, this talk provides the strategic insights needed to ensure that the “human touch” remains at the center of high-tech healthcare.

![Dr Tan J. J., Cardiologist, on Heart Disease Awareness for Women]
In Singapore, Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) has surpassed breast cancer as the leading cause of death among women. Despite this, a significant “awareness gap” remains a 2012 Singapore Heart Foundation survey revealed that many women underestimate their cardiovascular risk, prioritising screenings like mammograms and Pap smears over heart health.
[The Three Categories of Heart Disease]
Heart disease is a broad term that Dr Tan categorised into three functional groups:
- Structural: Physical defects or abnormalities in the heart’s muscles, walls, or valves.
- Electrical: Issues involving heart rhythm or the need for a pacemaker.
- Ischemic (IHD): The primary focus of the talk, involving narrowed arteries that lead to poor blood circulation to the heart muscle.
It’s a Myth that many believe breast cancer is the top killer of women in Singapore. Reality is that Cardiovascular disease (specifically Ischemic Heart Disease) has been a leading cause of death for women in Singapore for several years. The Gap was that significant “Lack of Awareness” among women regarding heart health compared to other conditions like breast or cervical cancer, diabetes, hypertension, stress, weight problem, high cholesterol and smoking. Ladies were more concerned about pap-smear, mammogram, but they don’t really screen their heart.
This talk addressed the often-overlooked risks and symptoms associated with heart disease in females with key topics covered:
- Unique Risk Factors: Dr Tan highlighted factors specific to women, such as pregnancy, menopause, and certain autoimmune conditions that can heighten cardiovascular risk.
- Atypical Symptoms: He explained that women often experience non-traditional symptoms like indigestion, fatigue, upper back pain, or shortness of breath, rather than the classic chest pain typically associated with heart attacks.
- Mental Health Link: He emphasised that managing chronic stress, anxiety, and depression is vital, as these are linked to a higher risk of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) in women.

![[Katherin (Cancer Survivor) on Her Journey to Recovery]
After surviving cancer, she discovered that the pressure to be “perfectly healthy” can itself become a source of stress. Habits, she realised, are not about perfection, they are the quiet rhythms that shape resilience, the framework of our days. We are not meant to be superhuman.
Within each of us is a natural call - a gentle reminder to pause, to release worry, and to trust that the world can carry itself for a moment. When she asked her audience what they would do with a healthier, more effective life, their answers were moving: more time with family, more travel, more energy for passions, and more capacity to give back.
We often chase money, but health is the true currency. If the body fails, work halts. If the body fails, joy becomes harder to reach. We all know what we want; the challenge lies in the how. True change begins with identity. It means accepting yourself as you are, understanding the “why” behind your actions, and learning how to fuel your soul.
When she was diagnosed with cancer, her prayer was raw: “If You want me to remain in this world, please help me fulfill my mission.” That mission, still unfinished, was deeply tied to her parents and her desire to bring people closer together. Yet she often wrestled with her own thoughts and inner struggles.
She spoke of mental strength through a lesson that shaped her journey: the difference between a fixed mindset and a resilient one. A fixed mindset says, “This is happening to me. I am a victim of luck.” A resilient mindset says, “This is a season. I have the agency to choose my response.”
She trained herself to notice her feelings, determined not to let bitterness take root. She refused to brood over setbacks or declare life was over. Before cancer, she often cried over small things. Through illness, she discovered a deeper truth: even in suffering, she was protected.
Through simple practices, she embraced habits as “small by small wins,” forgiving herself for setbacks and continuing forward. Even after surgery, affirmations like “I am healthy” gave her strength.
