At A.L.I.C.E,  the centre hopes to be an innovation powerhouse that nurtures SingHealth's finest ideas. Located within Outram Community Hospital, it serves as a safe space for SingHealth staff to experiment and iterate their ideas quickly on the front lines.

Our centre houses a Makerspace, which is a resource open for all SingHealth staff and encourages seamless collaboration to explore, design, prototype, and test ideas in a secure environment. Rapid prototyping can be done here, without the need for staff or project teams to individually procure equipment such as 3D printers, laser cutters, or even regular mechanical and electrical tools. Equipment is a community resource here and can simply be booked and used by any SingHealth staff when required.
