Singapore: Using an GS1 Digital Link-based app to give patients up-to-date information about their medications

Johnson & Johnson Supply Chain has developed an app which enables patients to receive digital information about their medicine, based on GS1 Digital Link.

There is an increasing societal expectation of, and demand for, quick and easy digital access to information. Healthcare is no exception. Yet in many instances the primary source of sharing information with patients about medicines is a paper patient information leaflet which can quickly become out of date and which is often discarded with the medicine packaging.
