Though the US spends more than four times per person than Singapore. Citizens of Singapore also pay three times the level of out of pocket expenses than Americans as a percentage of current healthcare expenditure.

Healthcare in Singapore is relatively cheap, whereas in the US, administration is responsible for around one quarter of healthcare financing, more than in any other country.

Singapore has an enviable reputation for its healthcare system. Governments are pooling data to better understand how the experience of Singaporean citizens might be replicated elsewhere.

Big data focusing on healthy longevity

The report is part of ongoing projects between Aging Analytics and a number of governments in order to focus on providing deep industry analytics and benchmarking of national policies and government influence on the development of a longevity industry.

Analytics Agency is working with a number of government departments and public sector bodies and authorities in the UK, Singapore, Switzerland, Israel and the US to develop compelling data and strategies to be deployed within healthcare modernisation and reforms and frontier-technology sectors that include longevity, artificial intelligence (AI) and precision health.

The ultimate target is the development of healthy longevity, and the government agencies can see how these technologies, support by analytics are likely to transform the delivery of healthcare in the coming years.
