What is the Pulse of the Heartland?

Pulse of the Heartlands (POTH) is a programme by HDB that aims to use smart technologies and data analytics to develop an ecosystem of applications and services that will be "useful to residents".


HDB is pleased to partner with Sentient.io, who is the Al and data analytics provider of the POTH programme. Sentient.io is appointed to develop this ecosystem that will make use of HDB data and leverage Al capabilities.


Through Sentient.io's platform, it is an easy way to retrieve database of retail and commercial outlets in Singapore, which organisations can leverage on these data and Al capabilities to create more meaningful business applications.


In running this programme, Sentient.io is looking for potential collaborators to come on board to use the various data sets that are available, such as the basic demographic information of the area, list of amenities in the HDB towns and estates, to develop a new app or service or further improve an existing one.
