Memorandum of Understanding Signing
Fourier Rehab, the rehabilitation technology arm of Fourier, signed two landmark MOUs to strengthen global rehabilitation innovation.
In partnership with Nagoya University, one of Japan’s foremost research institutions, both organizations will combine advanced academic research with clinical technology expertise to co-develop next-generation rehabilitation solutions, translating scientific discovery into meaningful outcomes for patients worldwide.
A second MOU with NHG Health, one of Singapore’s leading public healthcare providers caring for 1.5 million residents, will accelerate the clinical translation of rehabilitation and robotic technologies. The collaboration focuses on three pillars: co-establishment of a Joint Rehabilitation Innovation Hub (RehabHub™) to drive adoption of advanced, personalized rehabilitation technologies; joint development and clinical validation of scalable robotics applications; and sustained regional and international knowledge exchange to bring these co-developed innovations to global stages.
Associate Professor Loh Yong Joo, Head and Senior Consultant, Rehabilitation Medicine, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, NHG Health, said, “This renewed MOU marks a significant milestone in bringing rehabilitation innovation into clinical practice. By combining NHG Health’s clinical insights with Fourier’s engineering and technology expertise, we aim to accelerate the development and adoption of rehabilitation solutions that deliver real, meaningful outcomes for our patients.”
Newest Innovations Highlights
The Summit also gave delegates a first look at Fourier Rehab’s newest innovations.
1. GR-3 Humanoid Robot: Fourier’s first full-size “Care-bot” designed for wellness companionship. GR-3 is designed to engage with people in public settings. It can act as a service assistant, a comforting presence for children, or a responsive companion for the seniors. Beyond functionality, it is designed to foster emotional connection — introducing a new class of AI robots for human-centered scenarios.
2. ExoMotus™ M4: A cutting-edge lower-limb exoskeleton designed to aid in restoring mobility for patients recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, or other neurological conditions. Now with enhanced internal upgrades, including improved actuators and control systems, for smoother performance, greater responsiveness, and a safer rehabilitation experience, with its ergonomic balance frame and secure harness support.
3. OTParvos™ Pro: An interactive cognitive training system designed to support assessment and rehabilitation through engaging activities. Featuring a large touch-screen display, it offers a variety of cognitive, critical thinking, hand-eye coordination, and assessment modules to enhance therapy outcomes while keeping users actively engaged.
4. InfinityNet™: A secure, cloud-connected network that powers the Fourier Rehab ecosystem. It links every device, patients, and therapy session into one secure, intelligent network to deliver new standards of coordinated rehabilitation.
Delegates also toured Xinchang Medical Center and Yong Ci Hospital, witnessing Fourier’s technologies in real-world clinical environments. At Xinchang Medical Center, they were introduced to emerging humanoid-assisted rehabilitation solutions that highlight how advanced robotics can enhance therapy delivery and patient engagement. These visits underscored the growing integration of intelligent technologies into patient care pathways.
The GReAT Summit 2026 marked not an ending, but a launchpad, sparking new partnerships, fresh perspectives, and a shared resolve to deliver the promise of Infinite Care. Guided by the belief that rehabilitation without limits is within reach, Fourier Rehab continues to lead with purpose, powered by technology and grounded in human connection. Fourier Rehab warmly invites clinicians, researchers, and innovators worldwide to join in redefining rehabilitation, delivering care that is intelligent, inclusive, and truly infinite in its reach.
“By embedding embodied AI into our technologies, we are creating systems that think, respond, and evolve alongside the people they serve. This is the future we are building: care without limits,” said Alex Gu, Founder and CEO of Fourier.
He added, “The connections made at this summit will extend beyond these walls, and Fourier is proud to share this journey with all of you.”
“The GReAT Summit shows what becomes possible when diverse expertise and cultures unite around a shared purpose. Together with our global partners, we are not just expanding our presence but extending the reach of care itself.”
“Infinite Care means meeting patients wherever they are, across geographies, healthcare systems, and stages of recovery. At Fourier Rehab, we believe world-class rehabilitation should have no borders,” said Owen Teoh, Managing Director of Fourier Rehab International Division.
