KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 (Bernama) — South Korea-based Sewon Intelligence has officially launched JUST ON SLEEP, its smart, contactless sleep monitoring device, in Singapore via Shopee, making advanced sleep wellness and safety solutions more accessible to families in the region.

“Singaporeans work hard and need quality sleep, but safety during rest is just as important. JUST ON SLEEP delivers peace of mind by combining wellness and protection in one device,” said Sewon Intelligence Chief Executive Officer, Dr Sejin Park in a statement.

Designed to go beyond traditional sleep trackers, JUST ON SLEEP offers brainwave-synchronised audio to enhance relaxation and sleep quality while providing detailed sleep pattern insights for better daily performance.

What sets the device apart is its real-time alert system. When it detects abnormalities such as irregular heartbeat, apnoea, or unusual breathing, it instantly notifies a caregiver via the mobile app, ensuring better rest and greater safety for individuals and families.

A health-tech innovator specialising in non-contact biometric monitoring, Sewon Intelligence’s mission is to integrate smart, non-invasive solutions into daily life to support both wellness and safety.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 2 (Bernama) — As Malaysia celebrates its National Day, the nation also reflects on its strengthened role in global clinical research under its ASEAN Chairmanship 2025. This leadership underscores Malaysia’s commitment to advancing healthcare innovation and positioning the region as a hub for research excellence.

Since the establishment of Clinical Research Malaysia (CRM) in 2012, sponsored clinical research has generated over RM1.6 billion in Gross National Income and created more than 3,000 high-skilled jobs for Malaysians. Globally, the clinical trial market was valued at approximately USD 85 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow by 6.5% annually, with nearly half of this activity now concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region, positioning Malaysia to play a greater role in the years ahead.

At the heart of this progress are the 30,000 Malaysians who have volunteered as clinical trial participants, contributing to medical breakthroughs while gaining earlier access to innovative treatments. Their commitment shows that clinical research is not only about science but about people, whose courage and hope continue to shape a healthier future for all.

From its modest beginnings conducting clinical trials more than two decades ago, Malaysia has grown into a trusted hub for advanced and complex trials. This strength was evident last year when eight of the twenty-five new oncology therapeutics launched globally had been trialled and tested in Malaysia, allowing local patients to access groundbreaking cancer treatments earlier than most parts of the world. Beyond improving patient outcomes, Malaysia’s growing role also strengthens Asian representation in global clinical trials, particularly for diseases more prevalent in this region. These achievements reflect how far the nation has come and its readiness to shape the future of clinical research.

“Malaysia’s leadership in clinical research is not just about global recognition, it’s about keeping people at the heart of these efforts,” said CRM Chief Executive Officer, Dr Akhmal Yusof. “Our focus is on improving patient care while contributing to medical breakthroughs worldwide. As ASEAN Chair, we are proud to show how working together as a region can create benefits that reach far beyond our borders.”

This National Day, Malaysia celebrates not only its unity and independence, but a trusted hub for clinical research — for the nation, for ASEAN and for the world.
