Nanyang Technological University (NTU), OUE Limited and its healthcare subsidiary, OUE Healthcare, have announced a set of collaboration initiatives to advance holistic healthcare and technology-enabled care.
Demonstrating its deep commitment to institutional medical advancement, OUE has endowed S$3 million to NTU to establish the Stephen Riady Professorship in Healthcare and Technology. The endowment is designed to accelerate early medical interventions, enhance healthcare accessibility, and support healthier longevity through interdisciplinary research.
NTU Deputy President and Provost Professor Christian Wolfrum, an internationally acclaimed expert in metabolic research, is the inaugural holder of the Professorship. Working across disciplines including biomedical engineering, digital health, artificial intelligence, robotics, wearable sensors, telemedicine, nutritional science and integrative medicine, the professorship will foster new approaches to healthcare that are more personalised, preventive and technology-enabled.
Complementing the Professorship, NTU Singapore and OUE Healthcare are also collaborating to advance the development and application of integrative healthcare models, which combine conventional Western medicine with complementary practices such as TCM. Leveraging NTU Singapore’s strengths in research and education, the partnership will establish formal frameworks for joint scientific research projects and scholarly publications, specialised clinical training, mentorship and exchanges for TCM practitioners, as well as international healthcare conferences, seminars and collaborative academic workshops.
