HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 August 2025 – With a rapidly increasing aging population, chronic non-communicable diseases and sub-health problems faced by middle-aged and elderly people have become even more prominent. Modern medicine has standardised our current diagnosis and treatment system, especially in the intervention of acute symptoms and pathological control. However, in the face of health needs such as long-term management of chronic diseases and conditioning of sub-health problems, which require a “holistic view” and “continuous repair”, its limitations in areas such as healthcare, functional restoration, and improvement of quality of life are gradually becoming apparent.

In the context of improving the lifestyle and functional regulation of middle-aged and elderly people, we seek to help improve their health in a gentle and sustainable manner by exploring new health protection paths outside of traditional medicine.

“The 9^th Young Scholars Conference on Ion Channels and Receptors & Forum on Biophysics and Innovative Drug Discovery” was held in June 2025. As a leading energy healthcare technology company, “eefit” became the focus of the event, revealing to the world the innovative application of their patented far infrared technology in healthcare, with results verified by internationally renowned academics and authorities. The benefit provides systematic health management solutions for the middle-aged and elderly population through non-invasive and non-drug methods, creating a new chapter in health technology.

Recognized by Nobel Laureate and Renowned Scientists, eefit Far Infrared Technology is Acclaimed by International Authorities

Organized by the Macau University of Science and Technology (M.U.S.T.), this forum brought together experts in various disciplines from around the world, including neuroscientists and biophysicists. In attendance was 1991 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine Dr. Erwin Neher, who attended the event as the keynote speaker. It’s worth noting that eefit has been collaborating closely with “Dr. Neher’s Biophysics Laboratory for Innovative Drug Discovery” since 2021, promoting transformative scientific research in far infrared technology.

On a similar note, Prof. Vincent Wong of M.U.S.T. (among the top 2% of scientists in the world) introduced the significant effects of eefit’s patented far infrared technology in improving intestinal microecology, regulating cell immunity, and alleviating symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. His team’s latest research has confirmed that this technology not only can enhance cerebral blood flow and reduce brain damage in patients with ischemic stroke but can also provide an innovative solution for rehabilitation treatment.

Far Infrared Technology is Changing Our Lives

eefit Has Constructed an All-encompassing “Prevention + Maintenance + Restoration” Health Management System

The middle-aged and elderly population is plagued by health issues, such as chronic pain, sleep disorders, immune system disorders, and Alzheimer’s disease. eefit provides comprehensive solutions to address these issues through developing innovative healthcare products. At the forum, experts gathered at the booth set up by eefit to experience firsthand how technology redefines the health management of the elderly.

Case 1: Disease prevention – protecting brain health at the source

eefit’s patented technology reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by reducing Aβ deposits and abnormal tau proteins. The latest research paper presented on-site showed that eefit far infrared energy can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, intervene in pathological protein aggregation, and build a strong line of defense for brain health.

Case 2: Brain healthcare – improving stroke sequelae and neurological function

For patients suffering from sequelae of stroke, eefit Luminous Energy Helmet and Meridian Pro Illuminator can promote microcirculation in the head and improve cerebral blood flow. The research conducted by the research team of Prof. Vincent Wong has confirmed that this technology can reduce stroke sequelae symptoms and dizziness. An expert user at the forum excitedly shared his feedback, “I am a loyal fan of eefit products. I wear the Luminous Energy Helmet for 20 minutes daily. After one month, I find my memory improved, and I don’t get dizzy as often.”

Case 3: Chronic pain management – quick relief for joint and muscle pain

In the field of pain management, products like EEFit Lite can accurately irradiate pain points and inhibit the release of inflammatory factors. Experts verified that “10 minutes of irradiation can reduce knee pain on a pain scale from 6 to 3, with effects lasting for more than 2 hours”.

Case 4: Sleep quality – natural relief for nervous system

eefit far infrared technology can relieve insomnia by regulating nervous system functions. eefit data shows that after daily use for 2 weeks, over 80% of users experienced a 50% reduction in the time they took to fall asleep, as well as an increased duration of deep sleep.

Case 5: Digestive system repair – two-way regulation of intestinal microecology

eefit far infrared energy achieves two-way regulation of gut microbiota in an innovative manner by inhibiting the excessive proliferation of pathogens while promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria and regulating the imbalance of intestinal microecology. Experimental data shows that after two weeks of intervention, the alpha diversity of gut microbiota (Chao1 index) increased by 30%, and abdominal bloating decreased by 45%.

Nobel Laureate Dr. Neher and Prof. Vincent Wong expressed that the eefit technology system demonstrates innovation and practicality at the international forefront, establishing a new model for the health management of the elderly.

Integrating Industry, Academia and Research: Innovative Paths Leading Industry Development

eefit first introduced far infrared technology into health management through independent technology R&D and commercialization execution, which then attracted collaboration with reputable scientific research institutions. This closed-loop ecosystem of “Demand-Driven Innovation” demonstrates benefit’s ability to focus on the core benefits of products by starting from users’ pain points then feeding back technological improvements into scientific research.

At the forum banquet, eefit’s Founder and Chairman Prof. Nick Wang remarked, “We are honoured, looking back on our eight-year partnership between eefit and the research laboratory. This period of collaboration with deep integration of industry, academia and research has not only pioneered groundbreaking research but also produced fruitful scientific and technological achievements.” He emphasized that eefit has always been “user demand-oriented” at its core, by first verifying the value of technology through market research and then extending the application boundaries with the help of prominent scientific researchers to achieve a seamless connection “from lab to real life”.

The Future is Here: eefit’s Multi-dimensional Layout is Leading a New Era of Far Infrared Healthcare Technology

eefit’s future development focuses on three strategic directions: In terms of scaling technological capabilities, they will continue to increase their investment on R&D and explore new boundaries of far infrared technology applications in more areas that impact human health; In terms of advancing global collaboration, they will strengthen partnerships with notable international scientific research institutions and accelerate the process of global adoption; In the field of inclusive health accessibility, they will popularize home healthcare solutions through verified consumer-level healthcare products such as EEFit Lite, Chi Vitaliser, and Luminous Energy Helmet; and they will continue to pioneer the extension of far infrared technology in the field of health supplements, building an all-encompassing health management system of “External healthcare devices + Internal balancing nutrition”.

As a leading energy healthcare technology company in Hong Kong, eefit’s all-encompassing health management system has been universally recognized by respected international scientists. Leveraging their pioneering edge in commercialisation and the ability to transform based on scientific research, eefit will continue to spearhead global innovation of far infrared healthcare technology, ensuring the benefits of science-backed wellness reach everyone.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 December 2025 – For many aspiring learners, financial constraints remain one of the biggest obstacles to achieving their goals. SIM is determined to change that. Guided by the principle that no student should be left behind because of cost, SIM has built a comprehensive ecosystem of financial aid, scholarships, and bursaries to make quality education attainable for all.

At the heart of this mission is the SIM Impact Fund, a S$60 million initiative dedicated to empowering students from diverse backgrounds and ensuring that financial hardship never stands in the way of academic or personal growth. By blending need-based assistance with merit-driven opportunities, SIM is creating an inclusive learning environment where talent and ambition define success.

Empowering Learners Through the SIM Impact Fund

In 2024, SIM introduced the SIM Impact Fund, a S$60 million initiative dedicated to supporting students from lower-income households and ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder educational aspirations. Administered through SIM Trust, the fund is designed to empower learners within and beyond SIM’s community by removing barriers to access. Beginning in 2025, Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents with a per-capita income of S$1,750 or below can benefit from tiered assistance, ranging from S$6,000 up to S$13,500 for those with PCI of S$600 or less, S$4,500 to S$6,750 for PCI between S$601 and S$1,000, and S$2,000 for PCI between S$1,001 and S$1,750. Beyond tuition aid, the fund also provides support for overseas internships and merit-based scholarships, benefiting approximately 500 students annually.

Beyond Tuition: Comprehensive Financial Aid

SIM’s commitment to learning accessibility goes far beyond tuition subsidies. Through its Financial Assistance schemes, students can tap into a range of support options tailored to different needs. These include Enhanced Bursaries Aid, which provide up to S$13,500 per year for Singapore Citizens, and a SIM GE Crisis Fund offering emergency relief of up to S$5,000 for unforeseen circumstances. In addition, SIM encourages global exposure through Study Abroad Awards, enabling students to broaden their horizons without financial strain. Together, these initiatives reflect SIM’s ethos of inclusivity and resilience, ensuring that financial challenges never derail academic aspirations.

Community-Focused Support

The Dr Richard K M Eu – SIM Social Entrepreneurship Centre (RESSEC) exemplifies SIM’s deep-rooted commitment to community empowerment and social impact. Launched in July 2024 in partnership with the late Dr Eu’s family,

RESSEC received a combined S$8 million donation, S$6 million from the Eu family and S$2 million from SIM, marking a significant investment in nurturing social entrepreneurship. Guided by Dr Eu’s vision of transforming social service through ethical leadership and innovation, the Centre equips learners and social service professionals via initiatives such as a specialised postgraduate Diploma in Social Entrepreneurship, mentorship, and collaborative dialogues.

RESSEC also provides 12 bursaries of S$10,000 each for SIM Global Education students (check that this is accurate and that it’s not also extended to those outside the SIM ecosystem) who demonstrate strong community service and leadership and those with per-capita income up to S$1,750, prioritising those with per-capita income less than S$1,000. Through this initiative, SIM embeds purpose-driven learning into its mission, empowering students to create sustainable, positive impact in Singapore and beyond

Scholarship for Excellence

SIM offers a diverse range of scholarships under SIM Global Education to recognize excellence and resilience among its students. These include the SIM STARRR Award, which provides up to S$36,000 to outstanding achievers who demonstrate academic distinction and leadership qualities, and the Sports & Arts Talent Award, also valued at S$15,000 for students who excel in athletic or artistic pursuits. Additionally, the Chairman’s Award for Resilience grants S$3,000 to students who successfully balance work and study commitments, showcasing perseverance in the face of challenges. Together, these scholarships complement SIM’s need-based financial aid, creating a holistic support system that rewards merit while ensuring inclusivity.

Conclusion: Building a Future Without Barriers

SIM’s financial assistance framework is more than a set of policies, it is a promise to the community. By investing in initiatives like the SIM Impact Fund and expanding bursaries and scholarships, SIM is actively dismantling the barriers that prevent talented individuals from reaching their potential. This approach does not just benefit students, it strengthens society by cultivating a diverse pool of graduates equipped to lead, innovate, and give back. In a world where education often comes with a hefty price tag, SIM stands out as a beacon of accessibility and empowerment. For students and families seeking assurance that quality education is within reach, SIM offers not just hope but a clear, actionable path forward.

Beyond Academic Excellence: SIM Scholarships Champion Leadership, Resilience, and Talent

Published

Media Outreach

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 December 2025 – The Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) is proud to reaffirm its commitment to developing future-ready graduates through a comprehensive scholarship framework that goes beyond academic achievement. These scholarships are designed to recognize and nurture qualities such as leadership, resilience, and talent. These attributes are essential for success in today’s dynamic global environment.

For decades, scholarships have been synonymous with academic excellence. SIM is redefining this narrative by adopting a holistic approach that values character, contribution, and courage alongside academic performance. This initiative reflects SIM’s mission to prepare graduates who are adaptable, innovative, and socially responsible.

Scholarships That Go Beyond Academics

SIM’s scholarship ecosystem reflects its belief that success is multidimensional. Rather than focusing solely on grades, these awards celebrate qualities such as resilience, leadership, and talent. The SIM STARRR Award, for instance, supports freshmen who embody Resilience, Resourcefulness, and Responsibility, offering up to S$36,000 in tuition fees, along with living and exchange allowances, without any bond requirement.

For students who shine in sports or the arts, the SIM Award & Sports/Artistic Talent Award provides S$15,000, disbursed in two tranches, to help them balance academic and extracurricular excellence.

International students pursuing diploma programmes can benefit from the Diploma Scholarships, which cover up to 100% of course fees for academic excellence or 50% for merit-based achievements.

For working adults who have overcome significant challenges, the SIM Chairman’s Award for Resilience offers S$3,000, recognizing perseverance and determination in the face of adversity.

Stories That Inspire

SIM’s scholarships are more than financial aid. They are catalysts for transformation, opening doors for students to turn challenges into triumphs. Take Ernita Tanudjaja, an international student who refused to let pandemic disruptions derail her ambitions. Instead, she leveraged technology to livestream events and boost engagement, showcasing resilience and resourcefulness.

Similarly, Chow Kah Ying, an ICU nurse, managed the intense demands of frontline healthcare during COVID-19 while completing her degree, showcasing perseverance and purpose. Likewise, Michelle Seah transformed O-level failure into triumph, excelling in javelin and academics to earn the SIM Sports & Artistic Talent Award, proof that determination and discipline can rewrite any story.

These journeys reflect SIM’s unwavering belief that leadership and resilience matter as much as grades, and that true achievement lies in character and contribution as much as in academic performance.

The Broader Vision

SIM’s scholarships represent more than financial assistance. They serve as a strategic platform for transformation and growth. Recipients benefit from networking opportunities that connect them with alumni and industry leaders, fostering mentorship and career development. Many scholarships also provide international exposure through exchange programmes that broaden perspectives and enhance global competencies.

In addition to academic achievement, students cultivate essential life skills such as leadership, resilience and adaptability through experiential learning and community engagement. These qualities equip graduates to excel in uncertain environments and contribute meaningfully to society.

This commitment reflects SIM’s core belief that education is not limited to examinations. It is about shaping leaders who create impact and drive positive change in a rapidly evolving world.
