Fourier Founder & CEO Alex Gu Addresses Asia's Leading Healthcare Summit at SHBC 2025

Singapore – October 13, 2025 – Fourier proudly participated in the Singapore Health & Biomedical Congress (SHBC) 2025, one of Asia's most influential gatherings of healthcare professionals, innovators, and researchers. The event served as a premier platform for leaders shaping the future of healthcare innovation. Alex Gu, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Fourier, was invited to deliver keynote titled "Disruptive by Design: A Visionary Engineering the Future of Healthcare." Gracing the opening ceremony was Dr Koh Poh Koon, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Health & Ministry of Manpower.

In his session, Gu explored how purposeful engineering and innovation are reshaping rehabilitation and healthcare delivery. Drawing on Fourier's pioneering advancements in intelligent rehabilitation robotics, he elaborated on how technology—when designed with human needs at its core—can drive transformative improvements in patient outcomes and clinical efficiency. He emphasized that guided by the concept of human-centric embodied AI, Fourier’s long-term strategy focuses on advancing robotics across four key real-world scenarios: commercial services, rehabilitation and wellness care, academic research and education, and industrial efficiency.

At SHBC 2025, Fourier showcased the GR-2 humanoid robot from its advanced robotics portfolio. During live demonstrations, attendees witnessed firsthand how it can be integrated into clinical workflows, equipping therapists with powerful tools to personalize rehabilitation programs. It highlighted Fourier’s participation in a pilot project driven by NHG Health and Injewelme, exploring how the humanoid robot can be integrated with a Remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) for future use.

Another highlight that drew significant attention during the event is Fourier's newly debuted "Embodied Intelligence Rehabilitation Hub,” which centers on the GRx series humanoid robots. This concept integrates multimodal perception, large language models, motion control technology, and healthcare scenario requirements to form a cutting-edge robotic rehabilitation solution.

It features five major training modules: guidance and consultation, upper limb rehabilitation, cognitive rehabilitation, lower limb rehabilitation, and remote rehabilitation, offering an integrated approach to rehabilitation training, assistive care, and emotional companionship. The Embodied Intelligence Rehabilitation Hub aims to create a more attentive, intelligent, and efficient rehabilitation training experience.

"Fourier's mission has always been to leverage full-stack robotics technology to enrich people’s lives. By combining innovation with empathy, we empower clinicians to deliver superior outcomes while making rehabilitation a more engaging and effective experience for patients," said Alex Gu, Founder & CEO of Fourier.

Owen Teoh, Managing Director of Fourier Rehab International Division, also added: “At the heart of our mission is the belief that everyone deserves access to advanced, effective rehab solutions regardless of geography. With aligned goals with our corporate group (Fourier), we aim to bridge global markets with patient-centered innovation. Through our ongoing efforts, we not only strive to expand our presence but also to create a meaningful impact for patients and practitioners worldwide.”

Through their presence at SHBC 2025, Fourier reaffirms its commitment to advancing intelligent rehabilitation globally, forging strategic partnerships with visionary clinicians, researchers, and healthcare institutions united in creating a more integrated, efficient, and patient-centered care ecosystem.
