Biztech: First Keeogo Robotics Centre launched in Malaysia for stroke therapy

You’d go to a drinks stall when you’re thirsty, and the clinic when you’re sick. But where do you turn to when you’re recovering from an injury that could change your life forever — like a limb that no longer works?

The first thing that comes to mind would be temporary prosthetics. But while everyone thinks that prosthetics are the happily-ever-after that immediately sets patients on the road to recovery, Keeogo™ Malaysia, the Malaysian arm of global robotic rehab specialists Keeogo knows that this alone is not enough to help patients. At least not without providing them with the right training plan and proper treatment to help familiarize them with the next phase of their lives.

To help bridge both of these together, Keeogo™ Malaysia sought out a strategic partner who specializes in rehabilitative treatment and they eventually found this with Daehan Rehabilitation Hospital in Putrajaya, a specialist centre for the management of neurological disorders and illnesses.

In a conversation with #biztechasia Dr Nor Azira Ismail, President & Medical Director of Daehan Rehabilitation Hospital Putrajaya and Iris Chin, Sales Director of Keeogo Malaysia spoke about the gaps that are plaguing the Malaysian physiotherapy and rehabilitation arena, the unique synergy between Keeogo and Daehan and how both parties aim to make treatment and robotics rehabilitative care more accessible for the masses.

They also touched on:

• The types of treatments available at Daehan Rehabilitation Hospital
• How Keeogo’s robotics-assisted rehabilitation therapy has helped boost patients’ recovery
• Future plans and initiatives under this partnership

Guests: Dr Nor Azira Ismail, President & Medical Director of Daehan Rehabilitation Hospital Putrajaya and Iris Chin, Sales Director of Keeogo Malaysia.
