Docquity, a prominent health tech company founded in 2015, has officially announced its entry into the Business-to-Government (B2G) sector with the launch of the Puskesmas AI platform, in partnership with Sumedang Regency in West Java, Indonesia. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for the Singapore-based startup as it expands its technological innovations to directly support public healthcare systems.
The Puskesmas AI platform builds upon the success of Docquity’s existing social platform, which has become a vital network for connecting doctors across various specialties throughout the Asia Pacific region, including Indonesia. The initiative has garnered strong endorsements from key regional leaders, including the Mayor of Sumedang and the General Secretary of West Java Province, highlighting its potential impact. Since its launch, the platform has quickly proven to be an invaluable resource for healthcare professionals (HCPs) participating in the pilot program.
The core aim of this initiative is to bolster the capabilities of Puskesmas, Indonesia’s community health centers, by leveraging Generative AI technology. This AI is powered by credible data and insights drawn from the extensive Docquity Platform. The platform’s focus is on addressing critical health issues that have been identified as top priorities by the Sumedang Regency, with the ultimate goal of improving the overall health and well-being of the Sumedang population.
Developed by Docquity, the Puskesmas AI platform is equipped with GenAI Technology that adheres to both Indonesian and European data protection regulations, ensuring the highest standards of data security and privacy. The platform is designed to assist healthcare professionals in expanding their knowledge by providing them with accurate and reliable information sourced from the Indonesian Ministry of Health, reputable scientific journals, the World Health Organization (WHO), and other credible local sources within the Sumedang Government. By offering comprehensive support, the Puskesmas AI platform enables healthcare professionals to make well-informed decisions, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.
Dr. Dony Ahmad Munir, who served as the Mayor of Sumedang from 2018 to 2023, expressed his strong support for the initiative, stating, “The Puskesmas AI platform will play a crucial role in enhancing the knowledge and capabilities of our healthcare professionals. This, in turn, will significantly benefit the health of our community. By addressing critical health challenges such as Tuberculosis, Stunting, and Hypertension, we are taking important steps toward improving public health in Sumedang.”
This partnership between Docquity and Sumedang Regency represents a forward-thinking approach to healthcare, leveraging cutting-edge AI technology to tackle pressing health issues and improve the quality of care for the people of Sumedang.
