Robotimize Wins 'Tech for Good' Award at SG60 for Advancing Global Rehabilitation Through Inclusive Innovation
Celebrating Singapore's 60th anniversary, Robotimize is recognised for revolutionising rehabilitation with AI-driven, inclusive healthcare solutions. 'This award is a reminder that technology must serve people first—restoring dignity, independence, and hope in every recovery journey we help shape.'— Kerry Guo, Founder and CEO, Robotimize Group. SINGAPORE, July 30, 2025 / / -- Robotimize Group, a global leader in intelligent neurorehabilitation technology, has been honoured with the prestigious Brands For Good 'Tech for Good' Award, a timely recognition aligning with the nation's 60th anniversary celebration—SG60. This accolade cements Robotimize's role as a trailblazing enterprise combining technological excellence with a deep commitment to inclusive, sustainable, and purpose-driven innovation. Presented under the GOOD FOR SG national campaign, the award recognises companies that exemplify the values of Harmony, Resilience, Responsibility, Inclusivity, and Kindness. For Robotimize, it affirms a mission held since its inception: to transform the rehabilitation landscape with intelligent, human-centred, and globally scalable solutions that restore not only function, but also dignity and independence. A National Milestone with Global Impact In line with the SG60 campaign's guiding theme—'We don't just look back—we activate forward'—Robotimize embodies the spirit of a forward-looking Singapore. Headquartered in the city-state and supported by an international network, the company reflects Singapore's legacy of resilience, ingenuity, and global vision. 'Singapore has taught us that small nations can have a profound global voice—especially when anchored in integrity, excellence, and care,' said Kerry Guo, Founder and CEO of Robotimize Group. 'Winning this award is a meaningful reminder of why we do what we do. Rehabilitation is not just about technology—it's about restoring dignity and hope. We are humbled to be recognised as a force for good during this historic national milestone.' Technology That Transforms Lives At the core of Robotimize's work lies a fundamental belief: that rehabilitation technology must be intelligent, inclusive, and clinically grounded. Since its founding in 2022, the company has rapidly developed and deployed a range of innovative neurorehabilitation solutions, enhancing outcomes for individuals with stroke, spinal cord injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, and musculoskeletal impairments. Its flagship platforms include: + VivantePlexus™ – A modular suite combining robotics, functional electrical stimulation (FES), artificial intelligence, and therapist-directed control to facilitate motor recovery for upper and lower limbs. + NeuroVivante™ – A cognitive stimulation and neuromodulation system designed to enhance neuroplasticity for patients with acquired brain injury or dementia. + TeleVivante™ – A telerehabilitation platform enabling remote therapy delivery, continuous patient monitoring, and sustained therapist engagement. + ElevoVivante™ – A balance, posture, and gait coordination system supporting multidimensional rehabilitation across both inpatient and outpatient settings. Designed to empower clinicians and optimise care delivery, these systems are currently deployed in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and homes across Asia and Europe, with research collaborations active in Canada, Germany, and Australia. Global Reach, Singaporean Values While Robotimize operates globally, its Singaporean identity is embedded in every aspect of its culture and operations. With a lean but highly specialised team comprising engineers, researchers, clinical advisors, and regional partners across six continents, the company develops every product with a dual focus: scientific rigour and human empathy. In 2025, Robotimize reached a key milestone as Platinum Sponsor and Headline Exhibitor at RehabWeek 2025 in Chicago, one of the most prominent global forums for rehabilitation technology. Its presence at the event signified Singapore's increasing influence on the international stage in the field of neurorehabilitation. 'Rehabilitation 4.0 is no longer a concept—it is a present-day necessity,' said Zen Koh, Strategic Advisor to Robotimize and Ambassador of IISART and Founder of MotusAcademy. 'The world is searching for solutions that are accessible, intelligent, and scalable. Robotimize is leading by example, demonstrating how a Singapore-born enterprise can deliver global impact through purpose-led innovation.' Advancing the Values of SG60 The Brands For Good Awards were created to acknowledge organisations that embed social and environmental impact within their business models. For the SG60 edition, emphasis was placed on companies advancing the SPIRIT OF GOOD FOR SG, which highlights: + Harmony – Fostering unity across communities and cultures + Resilience – Embracing challenges with adaptability and strength + Responsibility – Caring for people, society, and the planet + Inclusivity – Promoting equal access and opportunity + Kindness – Cultivating compassion and collective wellbeing Robotimize was selected in the 'Technology for Good' category for its demonstrable efforts in expanding access to rehabilitation services in under-resourced settings, supporting national health systems through clinician training, and designing modular solutions adaptable to diverse clinical ecosystems. 'The real value of technology lies in the lives it changes,' noted Professor Denny Oetomo, Scientific Advisor at Robotimize and Professor at the University of Melbourne. 'Our collaborations with Robotimize focus on bridging the divide between lab-based innovation and real-world patient impact. This recognition reinforces our shared commitment to that mission.' Stories Beyond Systems: Putting People First Behind every Robotimize product and partnership lies a story of recovery, agency, and renewed possibility. The company's technology has enabled a stroke survivor in rural Malaysia to walk unaided, helped an elderly patient in Germany regain hand function, and supported remote telerehabilitation for Indigenous communities in Australia. Beyond its technologies, Robotimize invests in community engagement, clinician training, and capacity-building across ASEAN and other regions. By collaborating with hospitals, NGOs, and academic institutions, it reinforces its identity as an ecosystem builder and long-term partner in rehabilitation transformation. This people-centred approach aligns strongly with the GOOD FOR SG campaign, encouraging enterprises to align commercial success with meaningful societal contribution. A Shared Honour at the 10th Anniversary Gala The award was presented during the 10th Anniversary Brands For Good Gala Dinner, held in July 2025—a signature event bringing together leaders across government, academia, business, and civil society. Notable attendees included: + Mr Edwin Tong, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth, and Second Minister for Law Professor Lim Soon Hock, Adjunct Professor, Institute for Engineering Leadership, National University of Singapore + Dr William Wan, Senior Consultant and former General Secretary, Singapore Kindness Movement + Gregory Vijayendran, Honourary General Secretary, National Council of Social Service (NCSS) Robotimize was recognised not only for its innovation but for its broader contributions in aligning research, clinical practice, and industry development toward a shared goal of more inclusive, effective rehabilitation care. Looking to the Future: 2026 and Beyond Robotimize views the award not as a culmination, but as a catalyst for future progress. Over the next 12 months, the company intends to: + Launch its AI-powered clinical decision support engine, enabling precise rehabilitation planning + Expand pilot deployments in Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Middle East, focusing on scalable and cost-efficient models + Deepen partnerships with national rehabilitation networks in Australia and the United Kingdom + Introduce the ACE™ (Adaptive Cognitive Engagement) modules, supporting cognitive and mental health rehabilitation + Host the inaugural Asia Neurorehabilitation Innovation Summit in Singapore, convening leaders across clinical, regulatory, and startup ecosystems In parallel, Robotimize will continue contributing to key policy dialogues on data privacy, interoperability, and ethical AI in healthcare via platforms such as WHO, APEC Digital Health Initiative, and IISART. A Tribute to Singapore's Innovation Legacy The SG60 'Tech for Good' award is not only a recognition of Robotimize's achievements—it is also a tribute to Singapore's evolution into a leading global hub for science, engineering, and inclusive innovation. 'Singapore's journey has always been one of vision, resilience, and shared purpose,' concluded Kerry Guo. 'As a company born here, we carry those values into every partnership, every prototype, and every patient interaction. This award belongs to the community of therapists, engineers, and patients who inspire us to build better, every day.'

HDB launches 10,209 BTO and balance flats, singles priority scheme begins The Housing Board on 23 July launched 5,547 Build-To-Order (BTO) flats across eight projects in various estates like Bukit Merah, Bukit Panjang, Tampines, Clementi, including the first units in the new Sembawang North estate. Additionally, 4,662 balance flats were made available, with 1,733 units from the Sale of Balance Flats scheme already completed and ready for move-in. Most balance flats are located in Kallang/Whampoa, Tengah, and Geylang. HDB also implemented several policy changes benefiting singles and families aiming to upgrade or right-size their homes with this exercise. Subsidies for four Prime projects in Bukit Merah, Toa Payoh, and Clementi were increased to enhance affordability. However, owners of these flats will face higher subsidy clawbacks upon resale – ranging from 11 to 12 per cent – reflecting the additional support received. These Prime flats also come with a 10-year minimum occupation period (MOP). The remaining four projects fall under the Standard classification, which do not have a subsidy clawback clause and come with a five-year MOP. HDB said that seven in 10 BTO flats from this exercise have waiting times of four years or less, signalling a relatively quicker path to homeownership for many applicants.

Woman evacuated from lift in Supreme Court building after falling glass triggers emergency stop A woman was evacuated from a lift in the Supreme Court building on 22 July after a glass panel from the building's facade fell and triggered a safety mechanism that halted the lift. The incident occurred around 2pm, when the falling panel cracked a secondary glass roof above the lift shaft, according to a Singapore Courts spokesperson. A few glass fragments landed on the lift car's roof, activating a safety feature that stopped the lift. A staff member of court was trapped inside the lift at the time. She was rescued by a lift technician and was unharmed, said the spokesperson. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it received a call for assistance at 1 Supreme Court Lane, in the City Hall area, at about 2.40pm. One person was assessed for minor injuries but declined to be taken to the hospital "We have promptly cordoned off the affected area, including all lifts situated under the glass roof, to ensure public safety," said the Singapore courts. No other structural damage has been identified, and the overall structure remains intact, they added. For more on the falling glass at the Supreme Court building, read here. Singaporeans still hold the world's most powerful passport Singapore has once again tops the Henley Passport Index, allowing Singaporeans to continue being the holder of the world's most powerful passport. According to the latest Henley Passport Index released on 22 July, Singaporeans enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 193 out of 227 destinations worldwide. This is a slight dip from the 195 destinations recorded in the January 2025 edition of the index, but it was not enough to knock the Republic out of the top spot. Singapore lost visa-free or visa-on-arrival access after Pakistan and Mauritania, a West African nation, changed their visa policies, moving from visa-on-arrival to e-visa systems. Despite the change, Singapore's passport continues to offer its holders exceptional global mobility. Japan and South Korea came in second, with access to 190 destinations. Seven European Union countries – Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy and Spain – share third place with access to 189 destinations. The US slipped again to 10th place and is on the brink of dropping out from the top 10 ranking. This is the lowest position ever for the US in the 20-year history of the index. The Henley Passport Index is based on exclusive data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
