AdipoLABs Co., Ltd., Red & Blue Co., Ltd. from Korea, and their Malaysian subsidiary AdipoLABs Healthcare (M) Sdn Bhd have officially opened a new regional office for Asia-Pacific in Malaysia, marking a strategic expansion to strengthen leadership in non-invasive healthcare and build a robust MedTech ecosystem across ASEAN. The company simultaneously signed two Memoranda of Understanding with the University of Cyberjaya to formalize a partnership advancing healthcare innovation, clinical research, and talent development.
The first MoU establishes a comprehensive internship program with UoC's Physiotherapy programs under the Faculty of Health, offering six-month placements and potential job opportunities. Students from the Faculty of Health will gain hands-on expertise with AdipoLABs' Pain Bot device, enhancing skills in pain detection and treatment, while students from the School of Biomedical Engineering will support technical operations, strengthening after-sales service and device maintenance. As part of this partnership, AdipoLABs will implement a strategic client engagement initiative where interns may be placed at client facilities to demonstrate device effectiveness and provide on-site support.
The collaboration extends to clinical research, with UoC professors and students conducting studies on various AdipoLABs medical devices to generate evidence-based insights for publication in reputable journals, scientifically validating the technologies. By uniting our hyperthermia technology with local expertise and academic rigor, we'll expedite the adoption of advanced solutions and improve patient outcomes worldwide, said Mr. Han Sung-ho, CEO of AdipoLABs Co., Ltd.
A second MoU focuses on knowledge transfer and medical device donation, with AdipoLABs Malaysia donating a Pain Bot unit to UoC to give students access to cutting-edge pain detection and treatment technology. This enhances student knowledge and skills in innovative musculoskeletal pain management methods. Professor Dr. Yoo Seung-mo from South Korea, the inventor of the Pain Bot, will serve as an Adjunct Professor at UoC, providing on-site training and ongoing remote mentorship to ensure students receive the highest level of expertise.
AdipoLABs, a Ministry of Health-registered medical-device establishment under the Medical Device Authority, anchors this collaboration with proven regulatory credibility. Their certified standing reinforces UoC's ambition to accelerate evidence-based research and industry-ready healthcare solutions. AdipoLABs' partnership with the University of Cyberjaya is more than a collaboration, it is a direct investment in the next generation of healthcare professionals, said Professor Dr. David Whitford, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cyberjaya.
Dr. Isaac R. Joseph, Director of AdipoLABs Healthcare (M) Sdn Bhd, emphasized the partnership's significance: We're thrilled to collaborate with the University of Cyberjaya to cultivate local talent and drive Malaysian healthcare innovation. This partnership offers UoC students invaluable hands-on experience with technologies like Pain Bot and expands our clinical research, enhancing pain management solutions for patients across Malaysia and ASEAN.
