Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore, OUE Limited, and OUE Healthcare have announced a collaboration to enhance holistic healthcare and technology-enabled care. The initiative includes a S$3m endowment from OUE to establish the Stephen Riady Professorship in Healthcare and Technology at NTU, focusing on artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and metabolic research.
The professorship, held by NTU Deputy President Professor Christian Wolfrum, aims to foster interdisciplinary research in areas such as biomedical engineering, digital health, and telemedicine. This initiative is expected to accelerate medical interventions and improve healthcare accessibility.
Additionally, NTU’s School of Biological Sciences and OUE Healthcare have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to pioneer research in evidence-based Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This partnership will facilitate joint scientific research, clinical training, and international conferences, promoting integrative healthcare models that blend Western and traditional practices.
OUE Healthcare, alongside Healthway Medical Corporation, has also opened two Integrative Medicine clinics in Hougang and Aljunied, with plans for more. These clinics aim to provide comprehensive care by integrating modern and traditional medicine.
Professor Ho Teck Hua, President of NTU, emphasised the interdisciplinary nature of future healthcare, stating, “The Stephen Riady Professorship in Healthcare and Technology, together with our collaboration with OUE Healthcare to advance TCM research and education, will help us turn this ambition into action.”
