Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (hereinafter called “TWGHs”) has always been proactive in leveraging innovative technologies to provide users with faster and superior online service experiences. TWGHs Corporate Mobile Application has now integrated with the  one-stop personalised digital services platform “iAM Smart”. With the authentication function of “iAM Smart”, users can login the TWGHs’ app instantly without the need to input username and password, and access various online services on the mobile application, thereby minimizing the need of manual input operation and improving efficiency and convenience in usage.

To promote the development of Smart City, the HKSAR Government, apart from providing e-government services to the public, has also been actively encouraging different public and private organizations to adopt “iAM Smart” in their online services. “iAM Smart” is a digital services platform that provides convenient and beneficial services to the public. Its services have obtained ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 international standard certifications, demonstrating commitment to protect information security and personal data privacy.  TWGHs participated in the “iAM Smart” Sandbox Programme, which was jointly implemented by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer and Cyberport, and successfully completed the system integration work allowing the public to login and use our online services in a smart and more convenient way through their personal mobile phones.

TWGHs is committed to providing high-quality medical, educational, social and traditional services, but also actively adopting new technologies to meet the changing needs of society. We will continually explore use cases of adopting “iAM Smart” for our applications, envisioning a future where more TWGHs services can utilize “iAM Smart” functions comprehensively to create a more user-friendly experience.

Since its establishment in 1870, TWGHs has been all along upholding its mission “To heal the sick and to relieve the distressed; to care for the elderly and to rehabilitate the disabled; to promote education and to nurture the youngsters; and to raise the infant and to guide the youth.” Nowadays, TWGHs is the largest charitable organisation with the longest history in Hong Kong. For more than one and a half centuries, TWGHs has persistently pioneered and marked significant milestones in medical and health, education, community, preservation of historical and cultural heritage, and traditional services to fulfill the needs of the society and to provide the public with high quality services at low rates or for free.
