Singapore's Ministry of Health (MoH), Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) and Government Technology Agency (GovTech) have jointly developed a new digital Advance Care Planning (ACP) tool, known as “myACP" that enables healthy individuals to easily make their Advance Care Plans online for free, without the need to see a facilitator.
The new tool myACP is a significant step forward in making ACP more accessible to Singaporeans. Before myACP, individuals must meet with an ACP facilitator to discuss and document their ACP. With myACP, generally healthy Singaporeans can now go online to self-document their care preferences. There is no need to meet an ACP facilitator. It is also free of charge.
myACP guides users to document their care preferences for end-of-life care. These include medical treatment approaches, daily care needs, and personal preferences related to hygiene, companionship and religious requirements. The tool also enables individuals to indicate their priorities between comfort care and life-sustaining treatments.
As of 11 July 2025, the total number of ACPs completed nationally reached over 77,000, a 40% increase from 55,000 ACPs completed from 2011 to 2024. This growth reflects increasing awareness of the importance of legacy planning.
