Korea Herald21-05-2025

Movement That Moves You
Glow Festival by Prudential 2025 brings together global wellness leaders and local changemakers to stretch what's possible in the wellness space. Among this year's headliners:
Feel It in the Space
This year's spatial design, created by Pique Studio, brings the Wellness Frequency to life: an immersive journey across energy states:
The Studio is a livewire of radiant orange, luminous pink, and echo purple - a space designed to ignite physical vitality. Here, yoga flows, strength classes, and high-energy movement sessions unfold against a bold, high-voltage backdrop that stokes the body's inner fire.
Moving into The Wellness Club, the mood shifts. Vibrancy gives way to vital greens and tranquil blues, signalling a return to earth. Natural textures, living plants, and organic landscapes create a soft sanctuary for recovery, reflection, and meaningful connection.
In The Workshop Room, the frequency deepens. Colours soften, textures calm, and the space invites stillness. Talks, hands-on workshops, and guided meditations find their rhythm here - a place built for inward exploration and personal evolution.
Join the Movement
Glow Festival by Prudential 2025 aims to ignite a broader conversation: that wellness is a cultural invitation to reset, recharge, and reconnect with your body, your people, and your purpose.
Tickets are now on sale via the official website here. Early bird General Admission (SGD 29) includes access to one Main Studio class and a bundle of limited edition Glow Festival x Prudential Singapore merchandise, along with health and fitness treats from LAC, Liht Organics, and more. VIP tickets with additional perks will be announced closer to the festival.

Vital Materials Released Quantum Flux Photon Counting CT (PCCT) Full Vertical Integration Technology

BEIJING, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- From August 15-17, the 31 st China International Medical Equipment Exhibition and Scientific Conference (China-Hospeq 2025) was held in Beijing. Vital Materials officially launched the VITA Genesis, China's fully proprietary Photon Counting CT (PCCT) scanner, marking the entry of global medical imaging technology into the "Quantum Flux" sensing era and empowering Chinese innovation in precision diagnostics and treatment. The Photon Counting Detectors (PCD), as the core technology of PCCT, differ significantly from traditional Energy Integrating Detectors (EID). Traditional CT scanners require X-ray photons to first be converted into visible light, then into electrical signals. In contrast, the PCCT detector employs semiconductor materials, where X-ray photons excite electrons, creating electron-hole pairs proportional to photon energy. Charge carriers from the pairs are separated by an electric field to generate electrical pulses. Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) categorize these pulses by energy bins, enabling precise photon counting and energy resolution. This breakthrough provides crucial technical support for multi-energy spectral imaging, significantly enhancing the diagnostic value of medical imaging. Currently, the PCCT detectors primarily utilize three materials: Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CdZnTe or CZT), Cadmium Telluride (CdTe), and Deep Silicon. CZT is emerging as a breakthrough for next-generation medical imaging technology due to its outstanding detection capabilities. The core value of VITA Genesis lies not only in adopting a detector solution based on the CZT, but more importantly in pioneering the mastery of PCCT's full vertical integration technology. This includes ultra-high purity metals purification and compounding, single crystal growth and processing, component design and development, CT system integration, and imaging algorithm development, establishing a global paradigm in the field of PCCT.

From Healthcare System Reform to Medical Tourism Under the theme "Quality, Experience & Leadership in Healthcare: Integrate – Inspire – Innovate," HMA 2025 aims to reaffirm core values in modern hospital governance: driving excellence in quality, enhancing patient experience, and fostering strong leadership. The conference officially opens on September 10, 2025, with remarks by Prof. Dr. Tran Van Thuan – Vice Minister of Health, Vietnam, alongside HMA organizing committee representatives. Over the two-day conference, delegates can expect to hear from world-leading experts, including: Dr Lisa Ishii, Senior Vice President (Operations), Johns Hopkins Health System, USA, who will speak on how hospital leadership can be shaped by lessons from the past and innovations in the future. Sasa Mutic – President of Radiation Oncology Solutions, who will be presenting ideas and innovations into accelerating cancer survivorship journeys. There will also be more than 20 in-depth discussion sessions focusing on the three main pillars of: 1. Quality and Safety: infection prevention, AI in diagnosis & treatment, EHR, clinical decision-making; 2. Patient and Staff Experience: healthcare service design, PREMs/PROMs, staff well-being; and 3. Leadership and Organizational Models: Hospital-at-Home, DRG vs FFS business models, ESG, succession strategies, Value-Based Care. Some prominent topics at the conference include medical tourism, a sector where Thailand has established itself as a global leader and economic powerhouse. Leading institutions such as Bumrungrad International Hospital have established Thailand's reputation for excellence, with Artirat Charukitpipat, CEO, Bumrungrad International Hospital, presenting a case study on how the hospital maintains rigorous international accreditation standards while delivering comprehensive medical services. Hospitals also grapple with the ongoing challenges of resource optimization and staff wellbeing while maintaining exceptional patient outcomes. Dr Saran Intakul, Deputy Hospital Director, Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital, will be presenting a compelling case study drawing from real-world experience including his team's exemplary response to the 2024 Singapore Airlines SQ321 turbulence incident that led to an influx of patients to the hospital, demonstrating how strategic workflow preparation and connected care systems enable healthcare facilities to efficiently manage mass-casualty events. Celebrating Innovation and Connecting Practice A notable highlight at HMA 2025 will be two highly anticipated panel sessions on each day of the conference. The " DRG Debate" session will see experts from Malaysia and Thailand's health ministries and associations exchanging opinions in a fiery discussion over the dilemma on whether the Diagnosis-Related Group or Fee-For-Service business model is better-suited to deliver both cost containment and quality care in Southeast Asia's diverse healthcare markets. Meanwhile, the " Vietnam Four" panel session will bring together representatives from four exemplary hospital systems in Vietnam: Hoa Lam Group, FV Hospital, Vinmec International Healthcare System, and Hoan My Medical Corporation. Here, these representatives will share practical experiences and strategies for developing effective hospital models. HMA 2025 wraps up with its highly-anticipated Gala Dinner and the HMA Awards 2025 ceremony, honoring outstanding innovations in hospital management across Asia. Award-winning organizations are recognized as exemplary models of innovation throughout the region. The organizing committee encourages guests to wear traditional national attire, celebrating Asian cultural diversity and fostering multinational connections. Following the main event, on September 12, international delegates will participate in a field visit program to leading hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City: FV Hospital, Gia An 115, City International Hospital, and Tam Anh Hospital. This provides an opportunity for international delegates to directly experience the operational models, treatment protocols, and innovative strategies being implemented in Vietnam.
