Under its Smart HDB Town Framework (2014), the Housing & Development Board fits new public-housing flats with "smart-enabled" infrastructure — smart sockets and distribution boards — so residents can opt in to commercial smart-home services, including sensors that monitor an elderly relative's movement and alert family or carers if irregular patterns are detected. It was piloted from 2015 in the existing Yuhua estate (about 3,200 flats) and built into new towns such as Punggol Northshore (1,402 smart-enabled flats, completed 2020) and Tengah. Estate-wide features add sensor-controlled common-area lighting, pneumatic-waste and utility monitoring.
