Alpro Health Launches “Happier Project” Using AI to Make Mental Wellbeing Measurable and Actionable
Beginning with workplace wellbeing programs, the Happier Project aims to empower organizations to measure, understand, and improve their employees’ mental wellbeing with a long-term vision of extending its reach to all Malaysians, integrating mental wellness as part of everyday health.
Recent data highlights the growing urgency for structured mental-health interventions in the workplace. According to the 2024 Wellness at Work Report by Employment Hero, 67% of Malaysian employees report feeling burnt out—a 17% increase since 2022. In addition, one in five employees shows symptoms of anxiety and depression, while more than half experience high work-related stress, according to a national study on workplace wellbeing by Chua in 2020. These challenges have had a profound economic cost, Malaysia lost RM14.46 billion in productivity in 2018 due to mental-health related issues in the workplace, equivalent to 1% of the nation’s GDP.
At the heart of this initiative is the integration of AI-enhanced emotional screening technology. The system uses NeuroAI, an advanced form of artificial intelligence that analyses facial and heart-rate data to detect early signs of stress and burnout. By performing a contactless 90-second facial scan, it measures Heart Rate Variability (HRV) to evaluate physiological and psychological stress indicators with up to 99% accuracy. This approach makes mental-health screening private, data-based, and stigma-free, enabling both individuals and organizations to take proactive steps toward wellbeing.
“Our vision is to make mental wellbeing as measurable as blood pressure and as routine as a health check-up,” said Pharmacist Sean Liew, Director of Alpro Health. “Through AI technology, we can detect early stress indicators, guide timely interventions, and empower companies to cultivate workplaces that truly care about their people. This is not just about corporate health, it’s about changing how Malaysians perceive and prioritize emotional wellbeing.”
Puan Fazlin Badri Alyeope, Director of the Malaysian Mental Health Association (MMHA), added: “The Happier Project represents a meaningful step toward normalizing mental-health conversations in Malaysian workplaces. By combining science, technology, and compassion, it gives organizations a structured yet human way to care for their people.”
Clinical Psychologist Izzaty of Alpro Health shared, “When we make emotional wellbeing measurable, we send a clear message that mental health is not an afterthought, but an integral part of what it means to be truly healthy. At Alpro Health, our goal is to help individuals and companies translate that awareness into daily, data-driven action that supports real emotional balance.”
At the core of the Happier Project lies the HappiDex, a proprietary wellbeing index that quantifies organizational mental health into a single, evidence-based score. The index merges validated psychological assessments with NeuroAI-derived data to measure five critical wellbeing dimensions: stress, burnout, resilience, work engagement, and self-development. Grounded in the U.S. Surgeon General’s Framework for Workplace Mental Health and Wellbeing (2022), the HappiDex provides companies with a science-backed tool to track progress, benchmark performance, and design targeted wellness strategies that drive both employee satisfaction and business outcomes. Research consistently shows that employees with higher wellbeing experience lower healthcare costs, fewer absences, and stronger productivity.
Through the Happier Project, Alpro Health envisions a future where mental health is measured as routinely as physical health, and where every Malaysian workplace becomes a space of safety, belonging, and growth. This initiative reflects Alpro Group’s broader vision to create a healthy and vibrant world, one where healthcare extends beyond medicine to include emotional and mental wellbeing for all.
Building on this vision, The Happier Project sets an ambitious goal for 2026 to reach over 40,000 employees across 150 Malaysian companies, united under the mission of moving “Towards 50,000 Malaysians Screened for Mental Wellbeing.” This represents one of Malaysia’s largest privately led mental wellbeing initiatives, taking a meaningful step toward a future where mental wellbeing screening becomes a mainstream health practice for every working Malaysian. This nationwide initiative reflects Alpro Group’s broader vision to create a healthy and vibrant world, one where healthcare extends beyond medicine to include emotional and mental wellbeing for all.
The Happier Project is now open for corporate participation and partnership, offering organizations a data-driven way to assess, benchmark, and strengthen the mental resilience of their workforce. Companies that aspire to build psychologically safe, productive, and compassionate workplaces are invited to join Alpro Health in this movement.

Special Event for F2P Game Developers Launches Alongside the Announcement
SINGAPORE- Media OutReach Newswire – 17 August 2026 – With the global game market grown to an approximate value of US$200 billion annually, JUNEiNTER unveils a model designed to estimate the future revenue of individual games.
JUNEiNTER announced the release of the “LCP Model,” which estimates future revenue based on operating data from live service games and a public event of a free-trial marking its launch.
Whereas games generate recurring monthly cash flows and function as digital assets, the industry has lacked established standards to calculate the future revenue of individual titles — making their revenue streams difficult to be utilized as measurable financial assets.
The LCP Model was developed from the fundamental question: “How much revenue will our game generate?” The S66 Engine, which applies the LCP Model, analyzes actual service data accumulated from launch to calculate potential future revenue. Accordingly, it has been simulated about 90,000 times, confirming its consistency and reproducibility.
To mark the unveiling of the LCP Model, JUNEiNTER is holding a public event for developers to get revenue estimations for their own games. Eligible participants are games that use the F2P model monetized through in-app purchases (IAP) or combining in-app purchases with in-app advertising. Steam and console games are excluded.
Participating developers will also be offered additional special benefits for future usage. Eligibility requirements and details of the benefits are available on JUNEiNTER’s official website (https://gv.juneinter.com).
A JUNEiNTER spokesperson said, “Revenue estimates generated by the S66 Engine are not intended to be investment solicitation, fundraising, or a guarantee of returns. The results are estimates based on the data submitted by developers and the model’s criteria, and may differ from actual revenue.”

JUNEiNTER Co., Ltd
Founded in 2002, JUNEiNTER Co., Ltd. is a South Korean game company that has developed, serviced, and published online and mobile games, best known for publishing GetAmped (PC) and My Oasis (mobile). The company has expanded its lineup through in-house development, co-development, and investment over the years.
A Shift From Distribution to Brand Ownership
Since its founding, The Cocoa Trees has operated primarily as a retailer and distributor, offering more than 60 international confectionery brands across more than 20 stores in Singapore.
Kaki’s marks the company’s first move into developing and producing its own branded product line, in addition to distributing existing third-party brands such as Ritter Sport and Lindt.
A Range Built Around Everyday Singaporean Flavours
Kaki’s flavours draw on Singapore’s daily food rituals, from kopitiam mornings to late-night gatherings over local delicacies.
The range includes Nanyang Kopi, also referred to as Bittersweet Symphony, a coffee-flavoured chocolate capturing the taste of traditional freshly brewed coffee. Pandan Kaya is inspired by the slow-cooked, hand-stirred kaya used in a classic Singapore breakfast. Teh Tarik and Tropical Notes draws on the pulled-tea beverage alongside regional fruit profiles, including sunny mango, lychee, and a Singapore Sling-inspired blend.
Packaging Includes Local Storytelling
Kaki’s is designed as an everyday snack, a thoughtful gift for friends and family, and a corporate gift snack option for the workplace, as well as a culturally rooted souvenir for visitors to Singapore. Each bar comes wrapped in limited-edition artwork, with local fun facts and short, down-to-earth stories printed on the back. The bars come in a multi-piece format meant for sharing, rather than single-serve wrapping.
“Kaki’s was never meant to just be a snack on a shelf. It was built around the small, everyday moments Singaporeans already share with each other, over coffee, over breakfast, over the little rituals we return to again and again. This is the first time we have built a brand from the ground up, and we wanted it to feel like something that brings people closer, not just something they eat alone,” said Pamela Loo, Deputy CEO, The Cocoa Trees.
Kaki’s is available at The Cocoa Trees stores across Singapore and online at www.thecocoatrees.com.
