Quality HealthCare Launches ‘Quality HealthCare Home Care’ to Enhance Access to In-Home Nursing Services for Elderly and Patients, Supporting Government’s Elderly Service Goals

New service expands comprehensive care options, delivering personalised nursing care in the comfort of their homes

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 September 2024 – As Hong Kong faces an ageing population, the need for accessible, in-home care has never been more urgent. In response, Quality HealthCare Medical Services Limited (QHMS), one of the private healthcare providers with over 150 years of history, is proud to announce the launch of ‘Quality HealthCare Home Care’ (‘Home Care’), a paid service offering personalised in-home nursing care designed to deliver high-quality healthcare support to elderly and patients.

Hong Kong’s population is rapidly ageing, with the number of individuals aged 65 and over projected to rise from 1.5 million in 2021 to 2.52 million by 2039, representing 31% of the total population[1]. This demographic shift brings with it increasing health and social care needs and a higher prevalence of chronic diseases among the elderly. As a result, there is an urgent demand for healthcare services that cater specifically to seniors. Addressing these needs is crucial for ensuring that elderly individuals receive the support they require to manage daily activities and maintain their quality of life.

‘As one of Hong Kong’s major private healthcare providers, QHMS places customers at the heart of everything we do,’ said Elaine Chu, General Manager of QHMS. ‘We understand that ageing often comes with unique challenges, and we believe that seniors do not necessarily have to leave the comfort of homes to receive the care they need. Our new “Home Care” service reflects our commitment to delivering comprehensive, patient-centric healthcare solutions that meet healthcare needs but also serve as a strong support system for the elderly and their families. By enabling our senior patients to age in familiar surroundings, we aim to alleviate the stress on families and provide peace of mind as they navigate the challenge of elderly care.’

Home Care offers a broad range of nursing services through its network of over 14,000 registered nurses and healthcare professionals, providing personalised care that ensures the safety, comfort, and well-being of elderly individuals, post-surgery patients and those with chronic diseases. Certified under the ISO 9001:2015 international quality management standard, Quality HealthCare Nursing’s core values of commitment, affordability, respect and ethics guide us in delivering high-quality, compassionate care to every customer.

This new service aligns with the Hong Kong Government’s mission to support the elderly with services that uphold dignity, security and belonging. The service is also available to holders of the Community Care Service Voucher (CCSV). We hope to ease the financial burden on elderly and their families, playing our part to contribute to the public healthcare system’s efforts to manage increasing demand.

Key features of Home Care include:

  • Customised access to services: Patients and their caregivers can easily enquire about services through a dedicated hotline, WhatsApp or the QHMS mobile app, with guaranteed matching within 48 hours and a variety of flexible programme options, including customised care arrangements and follow-ups.
  • Dedicated care advisor: Each patient is paired with a care advisor who provides recommendations, develops a personalised plan, matches them with suitable nurses and carers, and oversees the entire care journey, adjusting services based on feedback to ensure the highest standard of care.
  • Flexible services to meet varied needs: From ageing in place, medical escort (provided by healthcare assistants or health workers) to outreach healthcare services (provided by registered nurses), Home Care offers flexible service durations ranging from daily, weekly, monthly, or 24/7 care options.
Ageing in Place Outreach Healthcare Services Medical Escort
Provides daily nursing and advanced healthcare services, such as:

  • Personal hygiene care
  • Daily living and nutrition support
  • Medical escort
  • Health monitoring
  • Rehabilitation support
Nursing services, including:

  • Wound/ pressure ulcer care
  • Medical injections
  • Intravenous infusion
  • Peritoneal dialysis
  • Changing nasogastric tubes, urinary catheters, and urine bags
  • Advanced health service needs
  • Caregiver training and support
Care-related support workers or healthcare workers accompany patients or elderly individuals to clinics or hospitals for medical appointments, ensuring safe, reliable transportation and assistance.

Looking forward, QHMS is dedicated to evolving and expanding its services to meet the dynamic healthcare needs of Hong Kong’s population. Following the successful launch of Home Care, QHMS will continue to innovate, offering enhanced, accessible care solutions that support patients and families alike while contributing to a more inclusive healthcare system.

Samsung Launches “Reimagine Everyday Moments” Accessories Collection for Singapore, in collaboration with Gen Z illustrators


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 September 2024 – Samsung Singapore is bringing a uniquely Singaporean flavour to Galaxy Z Flip6 and Galaxy Z Fold6 users with the new Samsung x You: Reimagine Everyday Moments Collection – with the help of Gen Z illustrators!

Since 2023, Samsung has been working with local artists and illustrators to bring Singapore-exclusive case designs to Galaxy fans as they personalise their experience from software to hardware. Till date, Samsung has worked with 28 illustrators, with over 45 designs developed over the last two years.

For this year’s Galaxy Z Series launch, Samsung decided to work with eight Gen Z illustrators to create a platform for budding artists to showcase their creativity. They were tasked to design either a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 Flipsuit Card experience or Samsung x CASETiFY Galaxy Z Series collection.

“Our ‘Samsung x You’ efforts have seen much excitement among illustrators as they see their designs come to life through a variety of accessories for our Galaxy products, including our one-of-a kind Flipsuit Card, as well as exclusive CASETiFY cases for Singapore. We’re heartened by how we’ve created a platform for our local artists and designers to showcase their creations to more Galaxy users. We will continue to push ourselves and expand our team of creators to contribute to future Galaxy campaigns,” said Lynn Chong, Director and Head of Brand Marketing, Mobile eXperience, Samsung Electronics Singapore.

Reimagine Everyday Moments Flipsuit Card Collection: Physical and Digital Personalisation Experience for Galaxy Z Flip6

The Reimagine Everyday Moments Flipsuit Card collection features six Galaxy Z Flip6 Flipsuit Card designs, created by five local illustrators, Arissa Rashid (@rissaartt), Faith Cheong (@genderlesstofu), Jasmine Tan (@pebble.studio), Shana Wee (@designwithshana) and Tan Jia Min (@cheesefrice), who were inspired by familiar local snacks, as well as moments observed during long commutes in the city.

First introduced with the Galaxy Z Flip5, the Flipsuit Case is designed with customisation in mind – making it easy for users to switch out the Flipsuit Cards anytime. With a plethora of exciting Flipsuit Cards to choose from, users have a wallet-friendly way to customise their devices without changing the case to fit their personal style and preferences. Powered by NFC, the card also brings users’ Galaxy Z Flip Cover Screen to life with animated wallpapers that matches the design for a standout look.

Reimagine Everyday Moments Flipsuit Card Collection

In partnership with Singapore Night Festival 2024, Samsung Singapore is giving Galaxy users a chance to bring home a piece of the Art of Play.

SUSS, TLE and INSPIRE Launch Success Academy in the Philippines to Foster Entrepreneurship and Regional Social Impact

The Academy will offer programmes with cross-cultural industry experiences to empower students and executives for success in the global business arena.


MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 September 2024 – The Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), The Little Entrepreneur Pte Ltd (TLE) and Inspire Leadership Consultancy, Inc. (INSPIRE) today launched the SUSS Success Academy in Manila, creating new learning experiences and real-world training opportunities for students, working professionals and executives in Singapore and the Philippines.

The occasion was marked by an opening ceremony at SMX Convention Center Aura in Manila and attended by over 100 guests from both countries, including representatives from institutions of higher learning, as well as industry and community partners. The ceremony was presided over by Ms Constance See, Ambassador, Singapore Embassy in Manila and Ms Lisset Laus-Velasco, Chairman and CEO, LausGroup of Companies.

Grounded in SUSS’ commitment to lifelong learning and creating social impact, the Academy will serve as a key nexus for academic and industry partners from both countries, where TLE and INSPIRE will contribute their extensive networks and expertise to bolster the Academy’s offerings.

Through the Academy’s two distinct tracks – Personal Success and Professional Success – students from SUSS and other Singapore pre-tertiary and tertiary institutions will have the opportunity to co-learn and co-innovate with students from the Philippines. This will include participation in programmes such as interdisciplinary global learning courses, student exchanges, work attachments and internships.

Key initiatives include:

  • Interdisciplinary and Global Learning: The Academy will support SUSS in partnering with universities in the Philippines to co-design and co-deliver interdisciplinary and experiential global learning and service-learning programmes to broaden the intercultural competencies of students.
  • Impact Start-Up Challenge (ISC) and Venture Builder (VB): The ISC is a credit-bearing course that provides a platform for students to experience the startup ecosystem in real-world settings. The 12-week VB programme allows budding entrepreneurs to validate their business ideas in Singapore and international markets. The Academy plans to offer these programmes by 2025.

In collaboration with TLE and INSPIRE, SUSS Academy will launch a new joint professional certificate programme, titled Level Up: The Executive Leadership Programme – Shaping the Future of Work. This 12-week programme features modules conducted in both regions and will bring together industry experts to cover topics such as Leading the Company of the Future, Generative AI, Megatrends and Foresight, Marketing 5.0, and Market Dynamics in ASEAN, China, and India.

Professor Robbie Goh, Provost of SUSS, said, “Our collaboration with TLE and INSPIRE strengthens the ties between Singapore and the Philippines, while reflecting SUSS’ commitment to lifelong learning and creating real social impact. The Success Academy will provide valuable opportunities for future leaders, equipping them to drive meaningful change in their communities and industries. Together, we are building a future that offers growth and connection for students, professionals, and organisations.”

Ms Kathleen Yao, Co-Founder of TLE, said, “I am still amazed whenever I am on a plane, crossing oceans and countries in a few hours. In some places, I can pass over millions of people in mere minutes. This is the speed of personal travel, barely enough time to register what is happening below. How, then, can we possibly cope with the speed of generative AI, infinitely faster than any plane? The simple answer is we cannot, not alone at least. The future of work is necessarily collaborative, changeable and global in scope. Our partnership with SUSS and INSPIRE is just that, a chance to shape the future together instead of being shaped by it alone.”

Mr Francis Kong, Co-Founder and Director of INSPIRE, said, “Our driving force is based on this: in a world where rapid change is the norm, the greatest obstacle to success is relying on outdated knowledge. The true illiterate of tomorrow will be those who resist learning, as lifelong learning is essential for staying ahead. Embrace constant learning to build the foundation for success in any endeavour.”

The launch of the Success Academy in the Philippines is the latest in a series of academy openings as SUSS continues to expand its educational footprint across Asia. Last year, SUSS established three Academies in Ho Chi Minh City, Beijing, and Shenzhen. In the last two months, SUSS also launched two other academies in Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Jakarta. In October, the University will inaugurate one more academy in Mumbai, bringing the total to eight regional academies.

Premier banking forum unites 150+ banking leaders, regulators, advisory partners, and tech visionaries from across Asia.


HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 September 2024 – Backbase, the global leader in engagement banking successfully concluded its flagship event, ENGAGE Asia 2024, in Ho Chi Minh City on September 11-12, 2024. The event, held at Le Méridien Saigon, was attended by over 150 banking CXOs and industry leaders to discuss “Banking Reinvented,” focusing on AI-driven strategies and customer-centric innovations.

The event opened with Jouk Pleiter, CEO and Founder of Backbase, who expressed heartfelt thanks to the Vietnam Banks Association (VNBA) for their invaluable support. Both Dr. Nguyen Quoc Hung, Vice Chairman & General Secretary of the Vietnam Banks Association and Mr Pham Anh Tuan, Director General of Payment Department of The State Bank of Vietnam, delivered welcome keynotes to address the banking leaders in the audience, setting a prestigious tone for the event.

Highlighting Backbase’s commitment to the region, Pleiter announced the launch of Backbase’s global AI Centre of Excellence in Ho Chi Minh City. This strategic move underscores Backbase’s dedication to fueling innovation in Asian banking.

Customer success stories: Engagement banking at its best

ENGAGE Asia 2024 showcased the region’s advancement toward Banking 4.0, highlighting the success of five banks using the Engagement Banking Platform. These banks have designed digital banking solutions, omnichannel experiences, personalized and humanized banking, as well as beyond-banking initiatives to achieve steady growth in customer acquisition and satisfaction, along with differentiated digital journeys that enhance brand preference and drive business benefits.

  • Techcombank’s new-to-bank acquisition has grown 20x in two years and has become a pure digital play. Digital now accounts for over 94% of transactions, driving not only better customer engagement but also stellar financial performance and substantial financial gains, accelerating the bank’s achievements.
  • EastWest Bank, the 9th largest bank in the Philippines has honed its ability to provide banking services tailored to different life stages. Within just one month of its launch,, their EasyWay app tracks over 619,000 installs and has maintained a rating between 4.6 and 4.8 on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, along with strong return rates.
  • ABBANK launched its ABBANK Business app three months ago and has successfully migrated 100% of its business customers onto the new platform very quickly. The app is now the preferred choice for active users, making up the majority of total transactions.
  • OCB launched its OMNI 4.0 app in just six months—three times faster than the industry norm for omnichannel banking platforms. This accelerated implementation delivered an estimated 40% in time savings. The app achieved a 61% year-on-year increase in transactions and a 25-fold increase since 2018, setting a new benchmark in Vietnam’s banking sector.
  • HDFC Bank, India’s largest private sector bank, has reinvented its NetBanking platform to deliver a futuristic, multi-dimensional banking experience. With hundreds of native features and integration with key Indian payment systems like RTGS, IMPS, and UPI, the platform is designed to support hundreds of millions of localized transactions per month.


AI and customer-centricity: driving Banking 4.0 objectives

Intelligence Fabric is an expansion of the Engagement Banking Platform incorporating a powerful set of natively embedded data and AI capabilities to empower banks to foster stronger relationships with customers throughout key stages: acquisition, activation, expansion, and retention. As digital banking platforms evolve into growth engines, they are increasingly designed to maximize customer lifetime value.

In acquisition, AI-based recommendations leverage open banking data to deliver personalized product suggestions, treating each customer as a unique individual and segment of one at scale. In activation, the platform uses scheduled triggers and smart nudges to encourage product usage, replacing traditional push marketing methods. For banking employees, AI-driven insights streamline new audience identification and enable fast, efficient segmentation opportunities. In expansion, AI analyzes spending patterns to match consumers with the most suitable credit products. For retention, predictive analytics encourage repeat usage by anticipating customer needs. Backbase’s platform, with its move towards enhanced UI/UX for conversational banking and AI-driven dialogue, will drive advancements in the banking community.

Banking 4.0 focuses on creating seamless, customer-centric experiences by leveraging technology to tailor services to individual needs. AI is crucial in this evolution, enhancing customer interactions and streamlining operations to drive efficiency and engagement. At ENGAGE Asia 2024, Chris Shayan, Backbase’s Head of AI, led a CXO panel with PT Bank Sinarmas Tbk, VietinBank, and Chinabank to discuss AI’s transformative role in banking. Additionally, Greg Fahy, SVP of Technology, presented a session titled “Enhance Customer Value Through AI and Automation,” which highlighted how AI fosters personalized experiences and efficient operations.

Journeying together and celebrating milestones in banking excellence

The Excellence in Customer Engagement Awards 2024 took place during the grand opening of the event. The annual awards ceremony exemplifies banks who have demonstrated the commitment to achieving digital excellence in engaging consumers, enabling business owners, and empowering employees.

An immersive conclusion with asian hospitality

The event concluded with an immersive experience along the Saigon River, offering attendees a luxury dinner cruise with panoramic views and a taste of Asian hospitality.

Jouk Pleiter, CEO and Founder of Backbase states, “ ENGAGE Asia 2024 in Vietnam was an incredible experience. The warmth of the Vietnamese people and the dynamism of the business community truly impressed me. Meeting so many forward-thinking executives from across Asia reinforced my belief in the region’s pivotal role in shaping the future of global finance. This event wasn’t just about business—it was a meaningful cultural exchange that I’ll cherish for years to come. Asia, and Vietnam in particular, is well-positioned to lead the charge towards a customer-centric digital banking economy, aligning perfectly with our focus on the next wave of innovation in engagement orchestration, superapps, AI, and enhancing customer lifetime value. We are confident in our ability to contribute to the pace of the region’s digital economy and meet its evolving needs.”
