World Stroke Day underscores an urgent global reality: every minute, 30 people experience their first stroke. Globally, one in four people will have a stroke in their lifetime. During a stroke, 1.9 million brain cells die every minute. Time is brain—but acting F.A.S.T. (Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call emergency services) represents only the beginning of stroke care. Effective acute intervention saves lives, yet comprehensive recovery requires coordinated rehabilitation addressing motor function, cognitive abilities, speech, emotional wellbeing, and community reintegration.
Partnership in Action: Hasba Medik and Robotimize at the Frontlines
Commemorating World Stroke Day, the Robotimize team joined trusted partner Hasba Medik at Hospital Rehabilitation Cheras to support their booth and engage with healthcare professionals committed to advancing stroke rehabilitation. Together, the partners demonstrated rehabilitation technologies that create pathways to functional recovery for stroke survivors.
Hasba Medik's evolution from prosthetics and orthotics specialist to rehabilitation robotics partner reflects Malaysia's broader healthcare technology landscape. The company's established relationships with hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and healthcare professionals nationwide—built through years of P&O service excellence—create natural pathways for introducing advanced rehabilitation technologies. This foundation of trust and clinical expertise enables smoother technology adoption, more effective training programs, and sustainable implementation support across diverse healthcare settings.
Our partnership with Hasba Medik demonstrates how distribution relationships built on shared values—patient outcomes, clinical excellence, evidence-based practice—strengthen rehabilitation delivery. Hasba Medik brings decades of prosthetics and orthotics expertise and nationwide healthcare relationships to rehabilitation robotics, ensuring technologies we develop reach stroke survivors effectively and sustainably across Malaysia," said Kerry Guo, Founder and CEO, Robotimize Group.
At Hospital Rehabilitation Cheras, this collaboration manifested through live technology demonstrations, clinical discussions with therapists treating stroke patients daily, and meaningful conversations about implementation challenges and successes. These interactions reinforce the importance of acting F.A.S.T. not only during stroke emergencies but also in supporting comprehensive care throughout the recovery journey.
Beyond Acute Care: Rehabilitation as Recovery Foundation
Stroke rehabilitation addresses multifaceted challenges: motor impairments affecting mobility, arm function, and fine motor control; cognitive changes impacting memory, attention, and executive function; speech and language difficulties; emotional and psychological adjustment; and the ultimate goal of community reintegration and quality of life restoration.
Robotimize's VivantePlexus™ rehabilitation ecosystem provides technologies addressing this spectrum of needs. Systems demonstrated at the Cheras event included upper limb solutions like HandVivante™ MirrorHand for hand rehabilitation and GripVivante™ for functional electrical stimulation; lower limb systems including GaitVivante™ ProMax for gait training; cycling-based rehabilitation through RevitaVivante™ systems; and complementary platforms for cognitive stimulation, balance training, and telerehabilitation.
These technologies share unified data architecture enabling clinicians to personalize therapy pathways, track objective progress across multiple therapeutic modalities, and adjust interventions based on measurable performance trends. For stroke survivors, this integration translates to rehabilitation programs addressing their complete recovery needs rather than isolated impairments.
"Stroke recovery demonstrates why comprehensive rehabilitation requires diverse therapeutic approaches working in concert. Motor recovery, cognitive rehabilitation, speech therapy, psychological support—each contributes to functional independence and quality of life. Technologies that integrate across these domains help clinicians deliver coordinated care that serves patients completely," said Zen Koh, Strategic Advisor, Robotimize Group.
Malaysian Healthcare Context: Collaborative Models for Access
Hospital Rehabilitation Cheras represents Malaysia's commitment to specialized rehabilitation services addressing the growing burden of stroke and other neurological conditions in aging populations. Events like "Beyond the Hospital Walls" strengthen connections between acute care hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, community health services, and family caregivers—recognizing that stroke recovery extends far beyond hospital discharge.
Robotimize's presence at the convention, facilitated through partnership with Hasba Medik, reflects the company's regional commitment. With a hub in Malaysia, Robotimize works closely with local healthcare institutions, understands implementation challenges within Malaysian healthcare systems, provides training and support adapted to local clinical workflows, and builds partnerships with distributors like Hasba Medik who bridge technology innovation with practical accessibility.
"Malaysian healthcare professionals demonstrate remarkable dedication to stroke rehabilitation despite resource constraints and growing patient populations. Our role involves providing technologies that multiply therapist productivity, enable objective outcome measurement, and ultimately expand access to evidence-based rehabilitation. Events like World Stroke Day remind us why this work matters—behind every statistic about stroke prevalence are individuals, families, and communities seeking pathways to recovery," said Even Koh, Group General Manager, Robotimize Group.
Creating Pathways to Recovery: Function, Dignity, Hope, Quality of Life
At Robotimize, comprehensive stroke care means supporting patients at every stage—from acute emergency response through long-term rehabilitation. Creating pathways to recovery that restore not just function, but dignity, hope, and quality of life. The World Stroke Day message—acting F.A.S.T. saves lives—extends naturally to rehabilitation's role: acting comprehensively restores quality of life.
Stroke survivors often face daunting recovery journeys. Motor impairments may prevent walking, using affected arms, performing daily activities independently. Cognitive changes complicate communication, decision-making, social interaction. Emotional impacts include depression, anxiety, identity shifts. Effective rehabilitation addresses all these dimensions through coordinated, evidence-based interventions delivered by skilled therapists supported by appropriate technologies.
The technologies demonstrated at Cheras don't replace therapists—they empower clinical teams to deliver more intensive, personalized, measurable therapy than manual techniques alone permit. Robotic systems provide consistent assistance and objective performance data. Electrical stimulation helps retrain movement patterns. Cognitive platforms deliver engaging exercises adapted to individual abilities. Telerehabilitation extends clinical support beyond facility walls into homes and communities.
"World Stroke Day conventions like the one at Hospital Rehabilitation Cheras create essential dialogue between researchers advancing rehabilitation science, clinicians implementing evidence-based practice, technology developers creating innovative tools, policymakers shaping healthcare access, and patients and families navigating recovery. These conversations strengthen the entire stroke care ecosystem, ultimately benefiting survivors seeking to rebuild their lives after stroke," said Professor Denny Oetomo, Co-Founder and CTO, Robotimize Group.
