BruHealth 5.0 — Brunei's AI-Enabled National Health Platform

Brunei Darussalam's Ministry of Health, working with its e-Government National Centre and health-tech partner EVYD Technology, launched BruHealth in May 2020 as a COVID-19 contact-tracing and health-declaration app. In January 2025 it relaunched as BruHealth 5.0, adding an AI-driven 'Smarter Health Index' that draws on users' diet, sleep, stress and activity data to generate personalised health recommendations, alongside expanded access to lab results, imaging and national screening programmes.

According to Brunei's Borneo Bulletin newspaper and EVYD Technology, the platform has surpassed 500,000 downloads — more than Brunei's roughly 450,000 population, reflecting both resident and non-resident use — with 63% of users logging in at least weekly. EVYD reports 566,403 users have viewed lab results and 335,320 have viewed imaging results through the app, and cites a 'BN on the Move' wellness campaign that drew about 49,000 participants who logged a combined 1 billion steps. The World Economic Forum profiled BruHealth in July 2025 as an example of a small nation building a unified national digital health record with AI-personalised guidance layered on top.

The detailed usage figures originate mainly from EVYD, the vendor that built the platform, so they should be read as company-reported rather than independently audited — though the broader adoption trend is corroborated by Brunei's national press and the WEF. No source documents clinical outcome improvements, diagnostic accuracy, or equity of access across BruHealth's AI recommendations, and the platform's origin as a pandemic-era surveillance tool raises data-governance questions that current coverage does not address in detail.
