MOHT envisions a transformed health system that is patient-centric, data-driven and digitally enabled to better empower health, prevent disease and provide excellent value-based care. To realise this vision, MOHT’s mission is to design and implement innovative solutions essential for the desired health system transformation. You will be working in a dynamic and fast-paced environment, and enjoy navigating challenges and ambiguities to accomplish goals, with opportunities for publication and invention.

mindline.sg is an anonymous digital mental health and wellness platform developed by MOHT. Individuals who use the platform are directed to appropriate channels of mental health support, self-help tools, and self-care exercises based on their profile, needs and preference for help-seeking. The digital first-stop touchpoint consists of a wide array of resources including wellness education, a clinically validated self-assessment for depression and anxiety which triages individuals based on the severity of their mental health needs, a service wayfinding tool that recommends best matched community mental health services based on a help seeker’s profile and location, and interactive resources including an AI therapy chatbot. Individuals are also able to chat with counsellors in real time through a text widget.

In addition to the suite of content and self-help tools made available, individuals can join let’s talk, our mindline community forum. This moderated safe space allows young people to express their feelings, thoughts and questions without fear of judgement, and receive advice and support from mental health professionals, peer supporters and like-minded youth.
