Community Outreach Campaign Champions Healthy Lifestyle for Healthy Joints

SINGAPORE, July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Borsch Med Pte Ltd (BM), a leading Health and Nutrition company based in Singapore, and operated and managed by professionals in Goh Joo Hin Pte Ltd (GJH), launched the “Enjoy Your Life with IKIGAI – a reason for being” campaign. This community outreach effort focuses on healthy ageing and joint pain management.

The IKIGAI campaign initiative aligns with the Singapore government’s goals to raise awareness about the importance of a positive attitude towards graceful ageing. The campaign highlights the concept of Ikigai in health management, stressing the importance of a healthy life expectancy.

While Singaporeans’ life expectancy has increased significantly, quality of life is often affected by ageing issues such as osteoarthritis. To address this, the Singapore government has introduced various initiatives to provide easy access to aged care services and affordable healthcare, particularly for managing joint pains. Finding joy and purpose in life is the cornerstone of the Ikigai philosophy, and a concept the Singapore government hopes to inculcate in its people so that they are more engaged towards a more connected and active lifestyle even as they age.

The IKIGAI campaign aims to support these efforts and promote a proactive approach to healthy ageing within local communities.

In efforts to perpetuate the Ikigai concept, the IKIGAI campaign found champions in Michelle Chong and her father Papa Chong. While Michelle is no stranger in the local entertainment scene, her father Papa Chong has carved a name for himself amongst the local community as an influencer in his own right. His Instagram filled with his cooking and travelling adventures have garnered quite a following. Both are believers in practicing Ikigai in their daily lives.

Papa Chong’s advancing years, however, brought about joint pain which hampered his movements. She was concerned to see her father, who was constantly on the move and very active, now struggling with mobility issues such as difficulty getting out of the car, traveling, and not fully having the quality of life he desires. With Father’s Day approaching, she was determined to find ways to improve her father’s well-being, just as he had always supported the family.

While many elderly resign themselves to joint pain as they age, this need not be so. Chondroitin plays a significant role in maintaining both cartilage volume and Chondroitin Sulphate levels. While it decreases as one ages, Chondroitin can be replenished, and will lead to better mobility, which in turn will encourage the elderly to be more connected and participative in activities around them.

Borsch Med had recently launched a range of Chondroitin-based products by Zeria in Singapore. Zeria’s Chondroitin products cater to various conditions. The following products are available in the Singapore market, which can be found in OG department stores nationwide and online at https://www.gjheshop.com/brand/zeria/, Shopee and Lazada.

Chondro Max for those experiencing persistent joint pain in their daily lives yet determined to rejuvenate their active lifestylesChondro Support for active life stylers who experience occasional joint pain, either from overuse of the muscles or from injuriesLively & Healthy Glucosamine & Chondroitin as precaution against musculoskeletal discomforts in old age.

The IKIGAI campaign will be launching a series of community activities and raising healthy ageing awareness this year, targeting senior citizens and their families.

PolyAI partners with OpenTable to offer enterprise restaurants and diners reservation support using voice AI

By

LONDON and NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — PolyAI, a pioneer in voice AI solutions for customer experience and service, today announced a partnership with OpenTable, a global leader in restaurant technology, expanding PolyAI’s guest-led voice assistants to enterprise restaurants. Locations that opt in will be able to take reservations over the phone, answer questions, gain visibility in customer trends, and deliver on-brand experiences – all while alleviating staff time and resources.

This alliance delivers PolyAI’s lifelike voice AI to help restaurants tackle challenges around staffing and provide consistent hospitality, even off premise. In a survey conducted by the National Restaurant Association, 62% of operators said their restaurants did not have enough employees to support existing demand. With onsite staff focused on in-house patrons, restaurant groups routinely miss between 30-60% of phone calls to their front of house (per PolyAI customer data) – meaning missed revenue opportunities and equally valuable customer touch points.

Never miss another call, thanks to PolyAI and OpenTable

With this strategic partnership, OpenTable’s global network of restaurants will be able to integrate PolyAI voice assistants, built using generative AI and spoken language technologies, to assist their diners in seamlessly booking and managing reservations over the phone, during and outside of operating hours.

“We know how tightly restaurants manage their guest experience and this can be even more complex for our partners doing business at scale,” said Susan Lee, Chief Strategy Officer at OpenTable. “We have, and continue to invest in, technology that pushes boundaries and enhances hospitality and our integration with PolyAI is a new way we can drive efficiencies for our restaurants, and diners.”

For larger operators, this partnership enables numerous iterations of voice assistants to cater to the unique needs of multi-location and multi-brand portfolios, while providing PolyAI’s proven enterprise-grade assurances around availability, security and data protection.

“We have extensive experience deploying voice assistants to hundreds of locations for some of the largest restaurant groups in the world, helping operators resolve up to 70% of calls over the phone without the need for additional staff,” said Michael Chen, VP of Strategic Alliances at PolyAI. “This strong connection with the restaurant industry started right from the earliest days of PolyAI. We’re thrilled to deepen that further and work with OpenTable to help even more restaurant operators attract more diners, streamline operations and maximise revenue.”

The journey starts at the Integration Marketplace

OpenTable restaurants will be able to request an integration with PolyAI via its Integration Marketplace, which powers 150+ integrations among the most widely used restaurant software. Beyond managing reservations over the phone, PolyAI’s guest-led voice assistants also offer operators a powerful new channel for implementing consistent brand experiences that can deliver greater personalisation, more proactive revenue and upsell as well as offer new ways of collecting diner feedback and tracking customer satisfaction.

About PolyAI

PolyAI is a leading provider of AI-powered voice assistants. Their customer-led voice assistants are used across industries within global companies where B2C conversations are crucial, like Whitbread, Greene King, Caesars Entertainment and FedEx. PolyAI’s award-winning voice assistants have earned renown for their ability to understand natural language and provide quick, accurate and helpful responses.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — During HUAWEI CONNECT 2024, Huawei updated fiber to the office (FTTO) 2.0 and launched a series of new scenario-based products for industries such as education, healthcare, and hospitality. The next-generation green 10G all-optical network oriented to Wi-Fi 7 accelerates fiber-in copper-out and contributes to campus intelligence.

“In the Wi-Fi 7 era, Fiber-in Copper-out is a must for campus networks, and FTTO 2.0 commercial use is accelerating. Huawei is willing to work with customers and partners to seize opportunities in optical business, achieving a win-win future for campus intelligence.” noted Gavin Gu, President of Enterprise Optical Business Domain, Huawei.

Huawei’s FTTO 2.0 solution achieves a simplified architecture with the number of network layers cut from three to two, active to passive transition, 30% lower energy consumption, and 80% less cabling. Based on XGS-PON Pro and Wi-Fi 7 technologies, this solution supports 12.5G/25Gbps to rooms, 10Gbps to APs, and 2.5Gbps to desktops. The hard slicing technology enables multiple services to be carried over one network, reducing the TCO by 30%. This helps enterprises build green, ultra-broadband, and simplified campus networks.

At the session, Huawei released a selection of FTTO 2.0 products for various scenarios and industries.

In the education industry, Huawei launched the industry’s first high-density ultra-10G optical terminal Huawei OptiXstar P884E for smart classrooms. Meeting the requirements of high-density and high-bandwidth access scenarios, this product implements 12.5G/25Gbps to classrooms and 2.5Gbps to desktops. For dormitories, Huawei launched the industry’s first 8-port Wi-Fi 7 optical AP OptiXstar W617E, which supports unified wired and wireless access for a room with 8 students. For education metro networks, Huawei launched the edge optical gateway Huawei OptiXstar E853E. Supporting remote PON port deployment, closed-loop local service forwarding, and flexible configuration, the Huawei OptiXstar E853E meets the access requirements of all services in campuses such as primary schools and kindergartens.

For hospital wards, Huawei launched the industry’s first 10G ceiling-mounted Wi-Fi 7 optical AP Huawei OptiXstar W817C, whose seamless roaming technology enables mobile ward rounds.

For hotels, Huawei launched the next-generation three-in-one Wi-Fi 7 optical AP Huawei OptiXstar W827E-3, which supports unified access of wired, wireless, and telephone services so that one ONT can carry all services in each guest room over one fiber. In this way, it provides ultimate Wi-Fi 7 network experience at a lower cost and improves the positive feedback rate of guests.

For factory workshops, Huawei launched the small-sized industrial optical terminal Huawei OptiXstar T602E, which supports guide rail installation and fiber to the machine without extra cabinets, allowing for flexible capacity expansion. By helping to build a reliable and flexible advanced industrial network for smart factories, the product improves the quality and efficiency of factory production.

Huawei’s FTTO solution has been put into commercial use in more than 9000 campuses around the world. In addition, Huawei’s 50G POL solution that supports hard slicing has also been put into commercial use.
