Smart Infrastructure: Building tomorrow's healthcare environment
Smart Infrastructure underpins the EGH Campus’ smart hospital efforts with a digitally enabled physical environment and technological systems. As a new hospital campus, EGH Campus has the advantage of embedding smart solutions within its facilities and systems from the onset. This would include smart and sustainable features that support advanced healthcare delivery such as real-time location systems to track equipment, staff deployment and patient flow; and flexible room designs that allow spaces to be easily reconfigured as care needs evolve.
To build a healing and therapeutic environment, EGH Campus is partnering with Mandai X, the growth acceleration and venture building arm of Mandai Wildlife Group, to co-create “phygital” (physical and digital) healing nodes and therapeutic spaces across the hospital campus. These spaces immerse users in nature through a mix of real and digital greenery and fauna, complemented by soothing soundscapes that evoke the calm and rhythm of natural environments. This first-of-its-kind partnership seeks to enhance mood regulation and psychosocial healing in patients, caregivers and staff amid the busyness of a hospital campus. Refer to Annex C for more information on the Mandai X and EGH Campus collaboration.
“As Singapore progresses towards a super-aged society, the hospitals of tomorrow must be both high-tech and high-touch. Smart clinical systems will drive care beyond reactive, to be predictive, personalised and continuous. Smart operational and infrastructural systems free clinicians to focus on what matters most – dignity, compassion and human connection,” said Associate Professor Gan Wee Hoe, Pro Tem CEO, EGH and CEO, SCH. “Technology is not the headline. Safer and more personalised care, better outcomes, and empowered patients are,” he said.
The EGH Campus Health Fest, a community healthcare event held at Bedok Town Square, is expected to draw more than 2,000 healthcare professionals, industry partners, community stakeholders and members of the public in attendance.

Annex C - Fact Sheet | Mandai X and EGH Campus Collaboration On Phy-gital Healing and Therapeutic Spaces
Under its Smart Infrastructure pillar, EGH Campus is partnering with Mandai X, the growth acceleration arm of Mandai Wildlife Group, to co-create phygital healing nodes and therapeutic spaces across the hospital campus. These spaces immerse users in nature through a mix of real and digital biophilic elements – such as nature-inspired visuals, digital gardens and animals as well as soothing soundscapes that evoke the calm and rhythm of natural environments – into EGH Campus’ built environment. The partnership aims to amplify therapeutic benefits of nature and provide nature experiences in areas where access to real greenery is limited.
This concept will be piloted at SCH’s existing community hospitals and the EGH Healthcare Living Laboratory to study its impact on healing, emotional resilience, and well-being for patients, caregivers and staff, before implementation at the future hospital campus.
This collaboration will see Mandai X contribute its expertise in creating immersive nature experiences and digital tools to enhance engagement, while the EGH Campus team provides the clinical expertise to evaluate and validate nature’s therapeutic effects.
“Healing isn’t just about treatments. It also happens in the spaces around us. Where patients cannot access the outdoors, we are bringing the outside in. From real greenery to digital wildlife and soothing sounds, these spaces are designed to make people pause, breathe, and feel a little closer to nature – reimagining how patients and staff can experience calm, wonder, and wellbeing in a hospital.,” said Ms Belina Lee, Chief Executive Officer of Mandai X.
