In late January through February 2024, CoRE-SDO organised the inaugural meetings for the four Technical Committees (TCs) scheduled to serve from 2024 to 2026 under the Biomedical and Health Standards Committee (BHSC).

Throughout these engaging sessions, members were cordially introduced to one another, fostering a collaborative atmosphere. They were briefed on several key aspects including the Terms of Reference (TOR), the BHSC structure, standard development protocols, standard review work plan, and new item proposals. Additionally, they assessed ISO/IEC memberships, evaluated working group compositions, explored new standardisation opportunities, and prepared for the upcoming Strategic Planning Session (SPS).

The atmosphere was vibrant with enthusiasm as participants shared insights, perspectives, and ideas, sparking fruitful dialogues. Substantial progress was achieved, evidenced by the consensus reached and the subsequent formulation of action plans.

After the productive meetings, a delightful partner appreciation lunch was served where former TC members and working group Convenors joined in. Amidst the relaxed ambiance, vibrant conversations flowed freely, laden with insights and anecdotes from years of collaborative experience. It was a moment of connection and appreciation, where bonds were strengthened and new ideas sparked. This informal yet invaluable exchange epitomised the spirit of collaboration and unity driving our collective mission forward.

Technical Committee Leaders

We extend our gratitude to the effective leadership provided by our TC Chairs and Deputy Chairs and valuable contributions made by our TC members. We eagerly anticipate a productive tenure, collaborating closely with our TCs to advance standardisation efforts in the biomedical and healthcare sectors of Singapore in across emerging domains.
