Speedoc

Speedoc provides on demand house call doctors with on-the-spot medications, treatment, MCs to provide Why do we do what we do? We heard their problems.

We listened to the people around us; people we loved and cared for. We saw friends sustain serious injuries and having to wait in the emergency room in excruciating pain for hours. We saw other friends take time off work that they couldn’t spare because they had to accompany their elderly parents to the doctor. We saw other friends, still, who were declined job offers because their child fell sick

on the first day of work. Being medical doctors ourselves, we thought – there has to be a better option. So we created one.

Rashes That Often Start Small

Skin rashes are one of the most frequent reasons parents and adults seek advice. A few small spots can look harmless at first, then change quickly in colour, size, or distribution.

A video consultation can be useful for conditions where appearance matters, such as eczema flares, heat rash, mild allergic reactions, insect bites, or unexplained redness. A doctor can ask targeted questions, assess what is visible, and advise on monitoring, supportive care, or when further assessment is necessary.

Early guidance helps people respond calmly and avoid guessing, especially when the rash is uncomfortable or spreading.

Rotavirus Protection Beyond Infancy

Rotavirus is one of the more common causes of severe diarrhoea and vomiting in babies and young children. When fluid loss happens quickly, dehydration can become the bigger concern, especially in smaller bodies.

Vaccination is time sensitive for rotavirus. Depending on the vaccine type, babies from six weeks of age may require either two or three doses. The first dose must be given by twelve or sixteen weeks of age, and the last dose must be completed by twenty four or thirty two weeks of age.

Having the timeline clear early helps families avoid missing the vaccination window and reduces last minute stress when milestones come up.

Who Should Consider Tumour Marker Testing

Tumour markers are substances that may be found in the blood when certain types of cancer are present. They are not diagnostic on their own, but they can provide useful information when used alongside other clinical assessments.

Tumour marker testing may be recommended for individuals with a family history of certain cancers, those under medical follow up, or as part of broader health screening discussions. Testing frequency and relevance depend on age, risk factors, and medical history.

Understanding when tumour marker testing is appropriate helps individuals avoid unnecessary testing while ensuring meaningful monitoring where needed. Tumour marker tests are sometimes included in health screening programmes, which are outlined here:

Why Hormone Tests Can Be Useful Even Without Symptoms

Hormones regulate many processes in the body, including metabolism, mood, sleep, and reproductive health. Imbalances may develop gradually and do not always cause obvious symptoms at the early stages.

Hormone testing can help identify subtle changes that may affect energy levels, weight, menstrual cycles, or stress response over time. Even when a person feels generally well, testing can provide useful baseline information for future comparison.

Hormone tests are often included in comprehensive health screenings to support a more complete understanding of overall health. Information on available screening options is available here:

Why RSV Vaccination Is Being Discussed for Older Adults

Respiratory Syncytial Virus is often associated with young children, but it can also have significant effects on older adults. As people age, the immune system becomes less responsive, making respiratory infections harder to fight and recovery periods longer.

For adults aged sixty five and above, RSV infection can lead to complications such as pneumonia or worsening of existing heart and lung conditions. Even adults between twenty seven and sixty four may be at higher risk if they have chronic illnesses or weakened immunity.

Vaccination is one option that may help reduce the risk of severe illness from RSV. Whether RSV vaccination is appropriate depends on individual health factors and should be discussed with a doctor. This can be done through a video consultation here:

Why Kidney and Liver Tests Are Common in Health Screenings?

The kidneys and liver play essential roles in filtering waste, regulating fluids, and supporting metabolism. When these organs are not functioning optimally, early signs may not always be obvious.

Kidney and liver function tests help detect abnormalities that may be linked to conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, medication effects, or long term lifestyle factors. Identifying changes early allows for timely follow up and management.

These tests are commonly included in routine health screenings to provide a more complete picture of overall health. Information on health screening options and what they include is available here:

How Rotavirus Affects Young Children?

Rotavirus is a common cause of severe diarrhoea and vomiting in infants and young children. These symptoms can appear suddenly and may lead to dehydration, which is why rotavirus infections are a concern during early childhood.

Young children are more vulnerable because their immune systems are still developing and they have limited ability to replace fluids quickly. In some cases, rotavirus infection can result in hospitalisation to manage dehydration and support recovery.

It is also important for parents to be aware that rotavirus vaccination follows specific timing recommendations. Depending on the type of rotavirus vaccine used, babies who are at least six weeks of age may require either two or three doses. The first dose must be given by twelve or sixteen weeks of age, and the final dose must be completed by twenty four or thirty two weeks of age. Understanding these timelines helps parents plan ahead and avoid missing the window for vaccination.

Rotavirus vaccination is considered optional and is often discussed as part of broader infant protection planning. Details on baby vaccination services, including optional vaccines such as rotavirus, are available here:

Why Diabetes Screening Matters at Any Age?

Diabetes does not develop overnight, and early stages often go unnoticed. Many individuals feel well for years before symptoms such as fatigue, increased thirst, or frequent urination appear.

Screening helps identify elevated blood sugar levels early, allowing individuals to make changes before complications arise. Diabetes can affect adults of different ages, including those without a family history or obvious risk factors.

Regular screening supports early intervention and better long term outcomes. Diabetes testing is commonly included in health screening programmes, which are detailed here:

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) affects people of all ages and circulates throughout the year in Singapore. While symptoms are often mild, certain groups, including young infants, older adults, and individuals with underlying medical conditions, may face a higher risk of severe illness.

Because RSV symptoms can look very similar to a common cold, it's not always easy to know when extra care may be needed. Recognising the symptoms early and understanding who may be more vulnerable can help families make more informed healthcare decisions.

The good news is that there are now RSV protection options available for different stages of life.
For expecting mothers, RSV vaccination during pregnancy can help pass protective antibodies to their baby before birth, helping to protect newborns during their first few months of life.
There are also RSV immunisation options available for infants during their first year, when babies are most vulnerable to severe RSV illness.

As every individual and family is different, the most appropriate option may vary depending on age, health status, and personal circumstances.

Prevention starts with awareness. Speak with your healthcare provider to understand which RSV protection options may be suitable for you or your loved ones.
