SMART ACT: Enhancing Antibiotic Testing Efficiency

We have designed a web application to enhance the Antibiotic Combination Testing (ACT) service at Singapore General Hospital (SGH) for external doctors, laboratory personnel, and pharmacists. By consolidating communication and automating workflows, this application will effectively address delays and inconsistencies resulting from current manual processes and fragmented communication channels.
