Problem Statement

"How can we leverage digital technologies to enable greater convenience and flexibility for our NS men in the workspaces in which they live, work and play."

oneNS is a one-stop app that aggregates various existing services with a tweak to provide greater convenience and flexibility for soldiers, creating a more conducive environment where they live, work and play.

Target Audience

NSFs and NSmen

Core Features

Live

Notifications

With the availability of advanced technologies, reservist and call-ups messages can easily be spoofed with open source softares which will be replaced by in-app notifications. Additionally, NS-related reminders are currently scattered across various communication channels which will be consolidated on oneNS.

Video Courses

oneNS provides video courses for soldiers to prepare for their return to or entering the army

Work

Quizzes

Allow soldiers to be well-informed about the various practices (i.e. safety, technical) in the army prior to their return to or entering the army

Hazard Reporting

Creates a safer environment for soldiers to annonymously raise reports pertaining to either hazards, safety concerns or near miss. At the same time, oneNS acts as a platform that serves as the single source of truth for all incident reporting, allowing the organization (Singapore Armed Forces) to quickly adapt and progress.

Weather Forecast

Allows users to obtain weather forecast for training activities, allowing forward planning and saves the hassle of dialing for a call to retrieve the information.

Play

Competitive Quizzes

Gamifies learning with incentives by allowing users to put their knowledge to the test by battling with their peers in order to gain points and redeem rewards. Creates a reward system to incentivise soldiers to recap on their military knowledge.

Self-regulated Training

Allows users to earn points through creating and joining self regulated training sessions with peers, incentivising NSmen to keep fit.
