Speedoc is betting on AI to transform home healthcare in Singapore.
The startup’s CEO Dr. Shravan Verma sees AI as vital infrastructure for personalized, hospital-grade care at home. AI already runs their command center, triaging patients and optimizing clinician dispatch.
AI models analyze continuous data from BP monitors and pulse oximeters. If vitals trend dangerously, clinicians get alerts before emergencies hit—cutting ER visits. 
Verma outlines plans to push AI into predictive care and automating follow-ups, eventually creating AI copilots for clinicians to reduce admin and boost actionable insights.
“AI will transform but not replace the clinician role, especially in home settings.”
“Their role becomes more relational as AI simplifies documentation and supports better decision-making.”
“AI can’t replicate the presence, empathy, and nuanced judgment in uncertain or complex conditions. It can’t speak with family and understand what’s best for the patient.”
“AI can tell you — worst case — you’re having a heart attack, but then what do you do about it?”
“Somebody also has to ensure continuity, ensure the administration of treatments and follow-ups, and ensure that the patients are improving as they’re supposed to.”
Verma warns about AI pitfalls like bias and “confabulation” — where AI invents analysis or data. Speedoc advocates transparency and governance in AI deployment.
He stresses leading with outcomes, not tech hype. Patients want faster, safer, personalized care, not just AI buzz.
“When AI helps a patient get triaged within minutes or enables a nurse to show up at the right time with the right medication, that builds confidence.”
“The real unlock is making sure AI remains transparent, empathetic, and always augments, not replaces, the human touch.”
Singapore is ready for this hybrid AI-human home care model, with growing public trust and policy support.
Speedoc is pushing health tech past hospital walls, putting AI at the heart of home care.
