Robotimize and Hasba Medik showcase smart neurorehab tech at Cheras CME, launching a strategic alliance to scale Rehabilitation 4.0 across ASEAN.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, July 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Robotimize Group, a global pioneer in intelligent neurorehabilitation and robotics, has announced a strategic collaboration with Hasba Medik, Malaysia’s leading provider of advanced prosthetic and rehabilitation technologies. The partnership was inaugurated at a high-impact Continuing Medical Education (CME) session hosted by Hospital Rehabilitation Cheras, one of Malaysia’s premier centres for physical medicine and rehabilitation.

Held on 4 July 2025, the CME session marked the beginning of a long-term alliance aimed at transforming patient outcomes across Southeast Asia. At the centre of the event was the demonstration of cutting-edge innovations from the VivantePlexus™ and ACE™ platforms—an ecosystem of interoperable technologies shaping the future of personalised and scalable rehabilitation care.

The collaboration represents Robotimize’s commitment to localising global technologies in emerging healthcare markets, and Hasba Medik’s vision to equip Malaysian clinicians with next-generation therapeutic tools.


Driving Clinical Impact: Addressing the Rehabilitation Resource Gap

Led by Even Koh, Group General Manager of Robotimize, the CME session addressed one of the region’s most urgent rehabilitation challenges: the widening gap between patient needs and therapist availability.

As ageing populations and the incidence of neurodegenerative and musculoskeletal disorders continue to rise, healthcare systems across Asia face significant workforce strain. Traditional therapy models, although effective, are increasingly constrained by clinician-to-patient ratios and limited scalability.

“In my experience, meaningful innovation in rehabilitation must not only serve the patient but also empower the therapist. What we presented at Hospital Rehabilitation Cheras is more than just machines—it’s a new ecosystem of care,” remarked Even Koh in his keynote address.

The session demonstrated how intelligent rehabilitation technologies can augment clinical delivery, enable greater therapy frequency, and extend services beyond institutional walls—ushering in a new model of digitally enabled recovery.


Technology in Focus: The VivantePlexus™ Rehabilitation Suite

The highlight of the event was a live demonstration of three intelligent rehabilitation solutions from Robotimize’s VivantePlexus™ platform, each designed to target distinct stages of motor recovery while enabling therapist-led personalisation.

HandVivante™ MirrorHand
An advanced robotic hand exoskeleton, MirrorHand combines ergonomic design with real-time assistive actuation, enabling patients with impaired motor function to relearn natural hand movements through mirror therapy, bilateral training, and task-oriented exercises.

GripVivante™
This upper-limb Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) solution induces coordinated motor patterns such as hand closure, thumb opposition, and lateral pinch. Built with intelligent stimulation algorithms, GripVivante™ supports neural re-education in stroke and spinal cord injury rehabilitation.

StrideVivante™
A lower-limb FES system engineered for gait retraining, StrideVivante™ uses sensor-driven feedback and adaptive stimulation to support ankle dorsiflexion and knee extension. The system synchronises with the user’s gait phase in real-time, promoting symmetry, balance, and forward propulsion.

Each device is interconnected via the VivantePlexus™ software backbone, enabling synchronised therapy protocols, centralised patient data management, and remote monitoring—providing clinicians with unprecedented insights and control across the rehabilitation continuum.


Strategic Value to Malaysia’s Public Rehabilitation Infrastructure

The launch venue—Hospital Rehabilitation Cheras—is one of Malaysia’s foremost public rehabilitation hospitals, serving over 15,000 patients with a staff base exceeding 820 personnel. As a national reference centre, its adoption of emerging technologies sets the tone for policy integration and scale-up across the country.

Dr Farah Nazri, Senior Rehabilitation Physician at the hospital, commented: “We welcome new technologies that can augment our therapists’ capabilities and improve continuity of care. The ability to deliver consistent, objective, and repeatable therapy is critical for ensuring long-term recovery, especially for stroke and spinal cord injury patients.”

The CME also highlighted how Malaysia’s Ministry of Health and healthcare providers are actively exploring digital transformation in clinical rehabilitation, with Cheras serving as a flagship pilot site for intelligent therapeutic platforms.


Training and Knowledge Transfer: Laying the Foundation for Sustainable Adoption

Following the CME session, Robotimize and Hasba Medik co-hosted a two-day clinical and technical trainingprogramme at Robotimize’s Malaysia headquarters. The curriculum included:
• Hands-on sessions for therapists and biomedical engineers
• Real-time therapy simulations with pre-configured patient scenarios
• Customisation of stimulation parameters for patient-specific goals
• System calibration and remote diagnostics
• Integration with electronic medical record and telehealth platforms

This initiative ensures that the local support infrastructure is equipped to deliver sustained, high-quality implementation—moving beyond product introduction to clinical enablement.


Global Vision Meets Local Relevance

Kerry Guo, Founder and CEO of Robotimize: “At Robotimize, we are redefining rehabilitation by combining intelligence, precision, and human empathy. Our collaboration with Hasba Medik and Cheras Hospital represents a new standard for what’s possible when clinicians, engineers, and industry come together. We’re not just introducing technology—we’re cultivating transformation that is sustainable, evidence-based, and scalable across ASEAN.”

Zen Koh, Strategic Advisor, Robotimize: “Rehabilitation 4.0 is not a future vision—it’s a present reality, driven by interoperability, automation, and data. What we’re demonstrating in Malaysia is a model for how advanced technologies can be seamlessly embedded into public health infrastructure. This partnership marks a crucial step toward equitable, intelligent rehabilitation globally.”

Professor Denny Oetomo, Scientific Advisor, Robotimize: “Scientific innovation must translate into clinical benefit. That is our guiding principle at Robotimize. Through platforms like VivantePlexus™, we’re enabling therapy that is objective, adaptive, and repeatable—crucial attributes for neuroplastic recovery. The engagement we saw from the clinicians in Malaysia affirms the importance of such technologies in real-world settings.”
