CEO, AWAK

Being an R&D entity, working from the office was crucial and it initially caused us to face issues with balancing the workload on key project, as well as maintaining the well-being of employees. We implemented stringent social distancing measures and arranged employees to come in staggered groups during the peak of the pandemic. I believe that technology will be further ingrained into our lives through the application of medical treatments in the comfort of one’s home. With the surge in remote monitoring due to Covid-19, it created a momentum that will give rise to improvements of medical technology in the years to come. We will see a pickup on the advancement of medical technology in all aspects, but especially for managing chronic diseases at home. On top of that, new laws are being put in place to help support the home-based therapy model, thus we believe that this is the direction medical technology will follow.
