Singapore, 9 November 2024 – Actxa, a Singapore-based deep tech company, showcased its cutting-edge solutions at World Diabetes Day 2024, organised by Diabetes Singapore at Toa Payoh HDB Hub Mall on 9 and 10 November. Over the weekend, Actxa featured its BGEM technology – the world’s first non-invasive solution for diabetic risk assessment powered by a cloud-based AI-driven algorithm. The event was graced by Ms Rahayu Mahzam, Minister of State, Ministry of Digital Development and Information & Ministry of Health, as the Guest of Honour, emphasising the critical importance of combating diabetes in Singapore. Non-Invasive Diabetes Monitoring with BGEM Technology At the heart of Actxa’s booth was the BGEM technology, which marks a new approach to early diabetes risk assessment . BGEM leverages wearables with photoplethysmography (“PPG”) sensors to collect essential data, in which an AI model computes the relevant digital biomarkers correlated with prediabetes or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) to assess diabetic risk to support early intervention. BGEM monitors and assesses the risk of Type 2 diabetes based on the last three days of measurement results. Personalised health tips were also shared with users to encourage ongoing wellness. During the two-day event, attendees had the opportunity to experience live demonstrations of the BGEM solution, which offers diabetic risk assessment within five minutes using smart rings. Transforming Health with Preventive Technology Marcus Soo, Chief Executive Officer of Actxa, said, "Actxa is excited to be a gold sponsor at World Diabetes Day 2024 as we continue our journey to translate technological innovations into evident solutions that enhance lives. Diabetes remains one of Singapore's most urgent public health challenges, and we are committed to making impactful, accessible solutions for early detection and chronic disease management. BGEM exemplifies our dedication to providing tools that empower people to make proactive health choices. We envision a future where managing chronic conditions like diabetes is made more attainable for all, building healthier communities together.” Other Key Highlights from Actxa’s Booth · Health Insights with the Sense 2 Smart Scale: Attendees received free body composition analysis reports, including body fat percentage, muscle mass, and metabolic rate, that empower them to restructure their lifestyle habits and achieve their desired health goals. · Exclusive Product Discounts: Special event discounts on Actxa’s products, including the Spark+ Series 2 activity trackers and Sense 2 Smart Scale, were offered to support individuals’ journey toward better health.

Singapore, 10 April 2023 – Actxa, Singapore's deep tech company leveraging artificial intelligence to create preventive healthcare solutions, has launched the Sense 2 Smart Scale ("Sense 2"), a professional grade segmental body composition analyser. Building on the success of its first-generation Sense smart scale, Sense 2 is introduced with enhanced accuracy and more customised insights to provide segmental composition analysis reports to help individuals improve their health and fitness. From 2019 to 2020, 20.7% of Singaporeans were in the high-risk Body Mass Index category for the Asian population and about one in 10 Singaporeans (10.5%) aged 18 to 74 years old were obese ¹ as compared to 8.6% in 2017 ² . Segmental analysis has been proven to be a valuable tool in monitoring disease progression and nutritional status in individuals with chronic injury or disease ³ . Beyond assessing up to 11 essential body measurements, Sense 2 provides users with holistic body composition analysis reports with more than 20 body composition indicators, including weight, body fat percentage, visceral fat level, muscle mass percentage, bone mass and total body water. It also trends up to the last ten measurements, allowing users to monitor and track their weight, muscle mass and percentage body fat (PBF) changes. Whether you are looking to lose weight for better health, attain fitness goals, sustain your current form, or get an insight into your body, Sense 2 is your perfect choice with its clear and comprehensive view of positive or negative lifestyle information. You can see which body composition relates to your fitness and health progress – the body fat mass or a muscle build-up, and then restructure your lifestyle habits to achieve your desired goals. Designed to cater to all ages and lifestyles, Sense 2 can support multiple users, allowing families to achieve their health goals together. The smart scale is especially useful for families with a history of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity, as family members can keep close tabs on their weight and body composition in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. For users enrolled in Journey with Wellness, a corporate wellness programme curated by Actxa Wellness, a subsidiary of Actxa, Actxa Sense 2 Smart Scale is explicitly designed to support you in this wellness journey. Paired seamlessly with the Actxa mobile app via Bluetooth, the Sense 2 automatically syncs all measurements to the app, allowing users to monitor and track their progress easily through the body analysis report. In just one step, you can make more informed decisions to achieve your health and fitness goals faster and more efficiently. Most importantly, health consciousness and being proactive about health are critical to preventing or delaying chronic disease onset. The accurate readings of the analysis report are obtained through dual-frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology to provide a more precise body composition analysis than other scales using a single frequency. The technology is painless and safe, with a low-level electrical current sent through your body to analyse your body composition. Sense 2 also uses eight tactile electrodes to distinguish and measure a user's body in five segments (arms, trunk and legs) to deliver a more in-depth analysis report. Marcus Soo, Actxa's Chief Executive Officer, said, "Preventive health is a cornerstone in ensuring a healthier and better quality of life. It is also an important shift in Singapore's healthcare ecosystem. To support the nation's Healthier SG vision of promoting preventive care, we developed the Sense 2 as an affordable, easy-to-use and dependable healthy lifestyle companion to help everyone from all walks of life to monitor and better understand their bodies." Sense 2 is now available on Actxa's Lazada platform ( https://tinyurl.com/Sense-2 ) for SGD$150. The Actxa app can be downloaded on the Google Play Store and Apple Store.

For immediate release Singapore, 27 September 2021 – Actxa and KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) are carrying out a clinical study to validate a non-invasive blood glucose predictive model on wearable devices with photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors developed by Actxa. The roles of wrist-worn and in-ear wearables with PPG sensors are constantly evolving. From being a lifestyle device that monitors sports and activities, to a device that monitors a person’s lifestyle well-being and health, foraying into preventive healthcare, particularly for the prevention of chronic diseases. Diabetes has been one of the “silent” chronic diseases, and research has shown that diabetic patients have a two to three-fold higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. In Singapore and globally, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are serious health concerns resulting in poor quality of life. Leveraging on its expertise and knowledge of wrist-worn and in-ear wearables, Actxa has developed a predictive model based on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML) for PPG sensors to monitor blood glucose level non-invasively. The collaboration with KKH will enable Actxa to externally validate the predictive model developed against an independent population, further improving the model’s diagnostic ability. Joel Chin, CEO of Actxa , said, “We are excited about this collaboration as the predictive model will be able to facilitate early detection and intervention of diabetes that will make a significant positive impact in the preventive health arena. It will also provide valuable insights into wearables’ potential in providing continuous and accurate real-time data that can aid patients, whose blood sugar is in the diabetes and pre-diabetes range, to self-manage their disease better and earlier.” Associate Professor Ang Seng Bin, Head and Senior Consultant, Family Medicine Service, KKH , who is also the principal investigator of this research at KKH, said, “As Singapore’s largest academic medical centre specialising in women’s and children’s health, KKH is committed to improving patient health outcomes. Through this new collaboration, we hope that we can harness the power of technology to make a difference in patients’ lives, especially those with diabetes.” This clinical study will be carried out jointly by the following Principal Investigators – Associate Professor Ang Seng Bin (KKH), Emeritus Professor Satvinder Singh Dhaliwal (Actxa) and Mr Shi Bohan (Actxa). Results and findings from this clinical study are to be published in the second half of 2022 in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Actxa will carry out more clinical trials in the near future to provide further clinical evidence for new products.

For Immediate Release SPURRING A NATION TO GET ACTIVE: STEP UP & OUT WITH THE ACTXA SWIFT AND SWIFT+ SINGAPORE (28 October 2016) – Actxa is proud to be appointed as one of the official technology partners of the National Steps Challenge (NSC) Season 2 by the Health Promotion Board (HPB). Fueled by the nation’s positive response to the physical activity initiative last year, the fitness wearables company has launched three new step tracker models alongside an easy trade-up program, to help Singapore step up and out for NSC Season 2. Launched by HPB on 1 October 2016, Season 2 brings more fun and prizes in motivating the nation to step up and move about every day, anytime and anywhere. Making a welcome return from last year is the immensely popular steps-for-rewards system, where all NSC participants will be rewarded for leading active lifestyles – the more steps taken each day, the more points earned to redeem sure-win rewards as well as lucky draw chances. The smart gadget tagged to this fun physical activity programme is the steps tracker, a pedometer-based fitness buddy designed to motivate even more Singaporeans to lead active lifestyles. A firm advocate of spurring a nation of physically active people, Actxa came on board last year to supply the wearable technology, and 2015 saw HPB handing out over 156,000 pieces of the specially produced Actxa Stride – which can still be used for the second season of NSC. In addition, Actxa has produced three enhanced step tracker models: The Stride+, as well as the Swift and Swift+, which NSC Season 2 participants can choose to use if they are not using any of the three official trackers, including the Actxa Stride, that HPB issues. These additional models are available for trade-ups or direct purchase this year. Opt To Swap Into Swift+ From the Primary One student to the blue-collared worker to the 60-year-old silver-haired grandparent, Actxa’s company DNA has always been about incorporating smart technologies into innovative gadgets so consumers are empowered to live healthier, more active lifestyles. As such, Actxa has launched a Trade-In Program for NSC Season 2 – a fuss-free initiative that takes in all step trackers regardless of condition and brands, for an upgrade to either the Swift or Swift+. The Swift+ in particular packs in plenty of exciting new features to practically assist wearers in their daily dynamic lives. More than just monitoring your daily steps count, the Swift+ functions like a 24/7 fitness buddy thanks to the Activity Tracker which tabulates amount of calories burnt, active duration time and distance travelled on a daily basis. Another powerful addition is in utilising nano-coating technology to deliver Sweat/Rain/Splash/Swim Proof resistance, so users may indulge in water activities without worrying about losing their fitness data. Lifestyle helps aren’t forgotten, such as a Silent Alarm for jump-starting the day without waking others, as well as allowing the modern millennial the option of using the Swift+ for receiving call notifications (with Caller ID on screen), text message notifications as well as email notifications while on the go. “Actxa is very proud to be a Singaporean company supporting a nationwide initiative that encourages fellow Singaporeans to be active. In support of the National Steps Challenge, we are excited to launch a series of promotions that aim to put our fitness and activity trackers into the hands of everyone, inspiring them to lead active and healthier lives,” said Joel Chin, CEO of Actxa. All step trackers can be traded up from 1 Oct 2016 to 31 March 2017 at our list of recognised retail partners, located across 12 locations island wide. Each accepted tracker is entitled to a $15 discount off the Swift or Swift+ (U.P. $49.90 and $69.90). The discounted Swift and Swift+ will cost $34.90 and $54.90 respectively. About The National Steps Challenge The National Steps Challenge (NSC) is a physical activity initiative by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) to encourage Singapore residents to be more physically active every day, anytime and anywhere. After the rousing success of 2015’s inaugural launch, Season 2 kickstarted on 1 October 2016 and will end on 30 April 2017. The NSC is open to all Singaporeans, Permanent Residents and foreigners aged 18 and above at the point of registration with a valid NRIC or FIN.

That same year, Actxa became the appointed supplier of the steps tracker for the inaugural National Steps Challenge. Leading up to the anticipated launch of Season 2 on 1 October 2016, Actxa has again been chosen as the appointed supplier of steps tracker, in addition to being the official tech partner of the event.

For Immediate Release Outsmart, Outweigh and Outwin with The Actxa Sense Smart Scale Actxa, Singapore’s smart wearables provider has launched the Sense Smart Scale, an intuitive digital body fat analyser designed to help the world register a fitter, healthier lifestyle. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is widely regarded as the quickest way to measure obesity – not just a weighty issue in other nations, but here in Singapore as well. BMI measures the relationship between a person’s weight and height, where the higher the reading, the higher the amount of fat in the body. The World Health Organization classifies a heathy reading between 18.5 and 24.99. However, according to a 2 April 2016 report by The Lancet journal¹, the number of people globally with a BMI over 30 stands at 641 million in 2014, a sharp rise from 105 million in 1975. In addition, because Asians, including Singaporeans, generally register higher percentages of body fat as opposed to Caucasians, local BMI benchmarks have been revised accordingly, where a reading of 27.5 kg/m² or more represents a high risk for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The latter in particular, has become one of the biggest drains on Singapore’s healthcare system – about 400,0002 have been diagnosed with the disease locally as of 2016. While studies show that Type 1 diabetes is strongly linked to genetics³ and incurable⁴, Type 2 diabetes can be managed through lifestyle changes⁵ such as diet, exercise and medication. In a Straits Times article dated 8 April 2016, Professor George Dailey⁶, who is based in the Diabetics & Endocrinology division at Scripps Clinic, California, shared that with proper weight management, pre-diabetics who lost five to seven percent of body weight and increased their exercise regime could halve the rate of progression from pre-diabetes to diabetes. With a possibility of one million Singaporean residents plagued by diabetes by 2050, the Ministry of Health declared the launch of War on Diabetes² in April last year. Speaking on his ministry’s budget in Parliament on 13 April, Minister for Health, Mr Gan Kim Yong outlined three key prongs in this fight against diabetes, one of which included promoting a healthier lifestyle and encouraging more to exercise. Still, BMI might not be the most accurate gauge of personal health, as challenged by two medical professors from the University of Pennsylvania⁷, who argued that “there is an urgent need for accurate, practical and affordable tools to measure fat and skeletal muscle, and biomarkers that can better predict the risks of diseases and mortality”. BMI in addition is not a recommended method for athletes, since individuals with muscular builds can lead to inaccurate readings. A typical scale also does not show other vital information, such as how much lean muscle you have – data that explains your body’s metabolism and calorie-burning ability. Track Your Health In Confidence Now you can take control of your journey to better health with the Actxa Sense Smart Scale, which on top of your BMI measurement, also helps to determine your lean muscle mass bone mass, and body fat percentage. More than just a telling sign of how well we fit into clothes, a body fat analyser could also point to possible future health problems. Based on these results, the smart machine then recommends the daily calorie intake required to maintain your current weight, thus helping users better understand what their body needs more or less of. In one step, the body fat analyser records data and syncs seamlessly through a smartphone with the Actxa App, where users can monitor body composition charts and progress over time. Accurate readings are obtained through bioelectrical impedance analysis, where a weak electrical current passes through your body. The technology is safe, toxic-free and non-invasive. Those who are serious about their health and fitness will additionally benefit from fitness trackers: Actxa Swift and Swift+. Working like a daily fitness buddy, the pedometers monitor your everyday health, fitness levels, and even sleep quality to help achieve a more balanced lifestyle. Upon reaching home – like a two-step approach – simply step onto the Sense Smart Scale and allow the body fat analyser to work, while simultaneously checking in on your smart fitness band. These two devices work in tandem to allow both individuals – and now families – to journey to better health together, as the Sense Smart Scale supports up to eight different profiles. An intuitive system automatically identifies its users, which makes it unnecessary to manually reset data or select profiles when taking measurements. Using the Actxa Sense Smart Scale is as easy as stepping on, and off. “Actxa is proud to have played a part in putting fitness and activity trackers into the hands of as many people as possible, in support of the National Steps Challenge. The launch of the Smart Sense completes the tools needed to track fitness goals, and so inspiring more Singaporeans to lead active and healthier lives,” said Joel Chin, CEO of Actxa. About Actxa The Actxa team was formed in 2015, steered by a team passionate to design, develop and deliver the latest technologies packed into fitness wearables that are not only affordable, but also fun to use and aesthetically right on point. That same year, Actxa became the appointed supplier of the steps tracker for the inaugural National Steps Challenge. Leading up to the anticipated launch of Season 2 on 1 October 2016, Actxa was again chosen as the appointed supplier of steps tracker, in addition to being the official tech partner of the event.

I was killing time at Challenger the other day, when I saw a very cheap wearable – Actxa Swift / Swift+. They were going for $49.90 (Swift) / $69.90 (Swift+). If you’re not familiar with the name Actxa, National Steps Challenge first season used their tracker – the Actxa Stride, a simple but really nice tracker – to link up with the official app, Healthy 365. The Swift / Swift+ models got me excited – they seemed to be the upgraded version of the Stride model. Seeing how the National Steps Challenge season 2 has begun, I got that itch – when you don’t need something but you just want it. (On a side note, if you have not signed up for season 2, do sign up now! No loss and more to gain. More info here .) So I went to google for reviews. Sadly, the model is so local that I could find only one review, which wasn’t enough for the insatiable me. So I went out and bought it. This review is a compilation of what I found out and my thoughts post-purchase. The most important question Question – Can it be cheaper? Yes! I was checking out the prices, and there are two very good deals going on right now – while stocks last I guess. $10 off purchase on Hachi.tech From now until 31 Dec 2016, you can get $10 off if you use the code ACTXA10 when you purchase any Actxa product from Hachi.tech. $15 off if you trade your old Stride at Challenger retail stores. http://www.actxa.com/trade-in/This was the deal-maker for me. Because newer is better, right? It also got me running around to several Challenger stores and calling Challenger hotline. So here’s what I know for sure, that is not correctly updated on Challenger system, apparently. You can trade at any Challenger store it seems, despite what it said in the link or what the Challenger hotline guy said. Not all stores have Swift+ model – I saw some models at Plaza Singapura and Tiong Bahru Plaza. The aqua model looked nice and bright on screen but dull in real life. Disappointment to the max. It is also only available at the Tiong Bahru Plaza if you’re buying from retail store. Don’t be disappointed if you order it online and it doesn’t look like the colour you expected it to be. Why Swift+? I have one other wearable, Misfit Speedo. This very cool minimalist tracker makes it near impossible to replace its battery, which is not cool at all. In fact, I have diminished its aesthetic value in my attempts to pry off the back of the tracker to replace the battery (as instructed in the guide). I was already shopping around for an easier-to-maintain wearable since the beginning of the year, and had my eye on either Garmin Vivoactive or TomTom Spark Cardio. Both put me off with the general body bulk. I would have considered fitbit and jawbone but neither supported swimming. I was also considering Pebble 2, but since there were no reviews as of yet, so there’s that. Swift+ had me sold on these: waterproof (swim up to 1m depth. As of the time of this writing, I have not tried swimming with it. Shall update it soon enough, I suppose. Edit: It worked fine at at 1.2m pool and in hot shower. ) lesser than $100 supports National Steps Challenge ($5 vouchers for the win!) Unpacking The tracker comes packed in a transparent box which I failed to take a photo of because I was so excited that I completely ravaged the packaging on public transport. Here’s a tip for buyers… open the packaging from the bottom. What’s in the box? Tracker Usb charging cable (you will have to plug it into a usb charger.) Booklet License (on the booklet. Do not lose it. You will need to retain your receipt for warranty as well.) Wearing Swift+ vs Stride With Stride, a twist of the wrist would activate the time on the wearable face. This is the one thing I miss most. The Swift / Swift+ requires the wearer to tap on the marked area on its surface to activate the surface. Tapping more toggles between the different data being collected by the tracker, such as number of steps, calories and distance walked. Swift+ wears awkward. I don’t know how to describe it any other way. So here’s a couple of photos to show you why. With Stride, the wearer inserts the band through the loop at the end of the band which is sort of the buckle of a standard watch, before pressing down the metal bit through the hole to secure the band. Swift+ has the user securing the band with the metal piece at the inner part first before putting the rest of the band through the free loop. This kind of cause the band to jump around. In the first season, one of the issues that was quite an irritant was the fact that the account was locked down to a single physical device. I had the misfortune of causing my Stride to go swimming and I had to go through the lengthy process of contacting the programme administrators to assist in the changing the device. With the season 2 roll out, or maybe slightly before, the user is able to use other devices and health apps to track the steps. Swift+ was not one of the HPB-issued devices. However, I should be able to sync the steps through the Actxa app option. The key word – should . It took a while before the steps were synced at all, and even so, it did not sync from the Actxa app, causing me to lose out on some 1500 steps. All in all, I would say that I have quite a bit of a gripe with the software and hardware, but I can live with those, so I won’t give up on the brand yet.

For Immediate Release SPURRING A NATION TO GET ACTIVE: STEP UP & OUT WITH THE ACTXA SWIFT AND SWIFT+ SINGAPORE, March 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — On the 16th this month, Actxa became Singapore’s first fitness wearables company to stock their full product range at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH). This entry into the public hospital’s retail pharmacy marks another significant step in realising the company’s goal of encouraging more people to embark on an active lifestyle. In 2015, Actxa was launched – and in the same year also became the appointed supplier of the steps tracker, for the inaugural National Steps Challenge (NSC) by Health Promotion Board (HPB). Fueled by the nation’s positive response to the physical activity initiative, NSC Season 2, which was launched on 1 October 2016, also saw Actxa becoming one of the official technology partners. Joel Chin, CEO of Actxa, spoke of his team’s joys of not only being a Singaporean company who was supporting a nationwide initiative that encouraged fellow Singaporeans to be active, but also, of being able to “put our fitness and activity trackers into the hands of everyone, inspiring them to lead active and healthier lives”. In the short time frame since, the Research and Development team put out three more enhanced step tracker models: The Stride+, the Swift and Swift+, as well as the Sense Smart Scale, the lattermost an intuitive digital body fat analyser designed to help the world register a fitter, healthier lifestyle. Now armed with a sizeable range of smart fitness technologies packed into innovative products, Actxa sought to further their reach to the masses – via the local hospitals. Since July 2016, Singapore General Hospital’s Lifestyle Improvement Fitness Enhancement (LIFE) Centre has been selling the Actxa Swift step tracker to their patients, as a means of encouraging physical activity as part of their chronic disease management. Now, with this new arrangement with KTPH Retail Pharmacy, both patients and the general public may easily purchase Actxa’s full range of activity trackers, and/or a smart weighing scale for an increased understanding and insights into their health. Actxa is currently in talks with more local public hospitals to open similar doorways, with the ultimate aim of putting their fitness products into the hands of as many possible, thus moving towards a nation of people registering fitter, healthier lifestyles. The full range of Actxa’s step trackers – which includes the Actxa Swift ($49.90) and Swift+ ($69.90) – as well as the Sense Smart Scale ($129), are now available at KTPH’s Retail Pharmacy (tel: 6602 2222).
