Memorandum of Understanding Signing<\/b><\/p>\n
Fourier Rehab, the rehabilitation technology arm of Fourier, signed two landmark MOUs to strengthen global rehabilitation innovation.<\/p>\n
In partnership with Nagoya University, one of Japan\u2019s foremost research institutions, both organizations will combine advanced academic research with clinical technology expertise to co-develop next-generation rehabilitation solutions, translating scientific discovery into meaningful outcomes for patients worldwide.<\/p>\n
A second MOU with NHG Health, one of Singapore\u2019s leading public healthcare providers caring for 1.5 million residents, will accelerate the clinical translation of rehabilitation and robotic technologies. The collaboration focuses on three pillars: co-establishment of a Joint Rehabilitation Innovation Hub (RehabHub\u2122) to drive adoption of advanced, personalized rehabilitation technologies; joint development and clinical validation of scalable robotics applications; and sustained regional and international knowledge exchange to bring these co-developed innovations to global stages.<\/p>\n
Associate Professor Loh Yong Joo, Head and Senior Consultant, Rehabilitation Medicine, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, NHG Health, said, \u201cThis renewed MOU marks a significant milestone in bringing rehabilitation innovation into clinical practice. By combining NHG Health\u2019s clinical insights with Fourier\u2019s engineering and technology expertise, we aim to accelerate the development and adoption of rehabilitation solutions that deliver real, meaningful outcomes for our patients.\u201d<\/p>\n
