Singapore is addicted to cheap foreign labor so this seems like the natural progression. It does make one wonder the kind of data required for such models to have a chance of success. Most Singaporeans live in public housing with police surveillance right up to the elevators, coupled with a lack of privacy protections against the state, perhaps health initiatives using behavioural monitoring from surveillance cameras is next? It’s all for the benefit of the public needless to say.

What country isn't addicted to cheap foreign labor?

Police surveillance provides actual safety. How much crime is in the cities you've lived in?

I lived in a city with a decade of record murders and now live in a city with epidemic property crime. I'd love some actual effective policing.

And US health care is so well loved the assassin of a Healthcare CEO is widely sympathized with.

I'd say Singapore is a modern miracle.

The US city that I live in has literally zero murders most years. When there is occasionally a murder it's usually a domestic violence situation. There is very little police surveillance. I know some of the police officers, they spend most of their time on issues like drunk driving and minor property crime, as well as responding to medical emergencies before an ambulance can arrive.

The USA is overall a very safe country for most residents. The vast majority of violent crime is concentrated into a few neighborhoods of a few large cities that have been wrecked by decades of failed progressive policies. We should fix those places but increased police surveillance will only be a small part of the solution.
