Currently, enTRUST supports two sectors: 

• Healthcare sector (comprising of public health sector users and researchers from Singaporean public health institutions, institutes of higher learning, and publicly funded institutions) 
• Urban Solutions and Sustainability sector (comprising of government organisations with related urban data).

Please contact us if you wish to onboard as a sector.

enTRUST has relevant authorities assigned to the various sectors to review the value of the data requests to determine whether the purpose of use is beneficial to the public and generates social benefit. Applications for projects on enTRUST will be evaluated in accordance to their own sector-specific guidelines.

Many innovations require the ability to link and analyse data from different sources. One example includes patient and hospital data from the Ministry of Health, and research data from universities.

Large volumes of data are needed to generate insights that are internationally relevant, or that can improve systems in Singapore. Combining various types of data would assist policy officers, researchers and ops-tech staff in looking for previously hidden insights and patterns. Such information would be invaluable in helping us to understand the possible correlation between different variables of interest, and to better plan and evaluate existing policies.
