MIAMI, Fla., Nov. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MATELASER, INC., an FDA-certified U.S. manufacturer of therapeutic laser systems, today announced the crowdfunding debut of its W1 REGEN Series, including W1 REGEN and W1 REGEN ULTRA. Weighing only 24 grams per module, the W1 REGEN is the world’s lightest wearable medical-grade cold laser — empowering anyone to experience deep-tissue recovery, pain relief, and enhanced circulation anytime, anywhere.

Powered by patented VCSEL laser technology and dual wavelengths (660nm red + 810nm near-infrared), the W1 REGEN delivers up to 70mW laser output per module with medical precision. The advanced 1000Hz high-frequency pulsed mode enables deeper cellular activation while remaining safe, comfortable, and drug-free.

“Our mission is to bring professional laser precision into everyday wellness,” said Dr. Jack Biesenbach, cofounder of MATELASER, INC. “The W1 REGEN Series transforms clinical laser therapy into a lightweight, wearable experience — letting users take charge of their healing and performance anytime, anywhere.”

Next-Generation Wearable Laser Innovation
Unlike traditional LED-based home light therapy devices, the W1 REGEN uses focused VCSEL laser beams with a 25° divergence angle, ensuring optimal energy penetration into muscles, joints, and nerves. This innovation enhances tissue regeneration, circulation, and pain relief far beyond the limits of LED therapy.

• W1 REGEN — A single 70mW module for precise, localized pain relief and muscle recovery.
• W1 REGEN ULTRA — Four synchronized modules (total 280mW output) for multi-zone or larger-area therapy such as the lower back, thighs, or both knees simultaneously.

Both versions feature three therapy modes (Continuous / 10Hz / 1000Hz Pulsed) for customized treatment goals and smart wear accessories for effortless placement on muscles, joints, or nerves.

Bridging Clinical Science and Everyday Wellness
The W1 REGEN Series marks a milestone in making clinical-grade laser therapy accessible for personal use. Built on MATELASER’s decades of research in photobiomodulation (PBM) — the science of using light to stimulate cellular repair — the device offers hospital-level precision in a form designed for daily life.

MATELASER engineers miniaturized its VCSEL diode system and advanced thermal management design to ensure stable output without overheating, even during extended sessions. This innovation not only improves energy efficiency but also ensures consistent therapeutic performance — a challenge most consumer-grade light devices fail to meet.

“We designed W1 REGEN Series to deliver the same photobiomodulation benefits trusted by medical professionals,” said Dr. Jack Biesenbach. “Every specification — from wavelength stability to power density — was validated through clinical standards before it reached the consumer market.” The result is a wearable portable laser that bridges the gap between clinical efficacy and consumer convenience, redefining the future of home rehabilitation and wellness care.

Everyday Wellness, Redefined
Compact, lightweight, and intuitively designed, the W1 REGEN integrates seamlessly into modern active lifestyles.
It supports:

• Drug-free pain relief for chronic or post-work discomfort
• Faster recovery after workouts or physiotherapy
• Safe post-surgery rehabilitation
• Relaxation and nervous system balance through gentle photobiomodulation

The ULTRA model includes a smart charging dock, powering all modules simultaneously — making full-body sessions efficient and effortless.
Whether used by athletes, office workers, or older adults managing chronic pain, the W1 REGEN Series delivers professional-grade results in a comfortable, hands-free experience.

Crowdfunding Launch on Kickstarter
The W1 REGEN Series officially launches on Kickstarter on November 18 at 7AM PST / 10AM EST. Early backers will receive exclusive launch discounts, limited-edition perks, and first access to this groundbreaking wearable laser therapy system.

About MATELASER, INC
MATELASER, INC., headquartered in the Miami, is an FDA-certified manufacturer specializing in high-power medical lasers. With decades of expertise in photobiomodulation technology, MATELASER is dedicated to making professional-grade laser therapy accessible, safe, and effective for everyday users around the world.

• AI-as-a-Service applications will make AI virtual CFO and COO for SMEs
• Public-private collaboration in regulatory sandboxes help to provide clarity and certainty when it comes to new technology like tokenisation and AI

SINGAPORE, Nov. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Eric Jing, Chairman of Ant Group, said the company’s focus is on putting new payment and operation tools powered by AI and tokenisation technology in the hands of SMEs, to fully embrace the next wave of global productivity revolution.

“We are passionate about using frontier technology to support SMEs and the use of AI will really uplift inclusion,” Jing said during a panel discussion titled “Steering the Global Future” during the Singapore FinTech Festival on November 14, 2025.

Jing was joined by Agustín Carstens, Former General Manager, Bank for International Settlements (BIS); Ravi Menon, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN); Ambassador (Climate Action), Singapore & Former Managing Director, Monetary Authority of Singapore, GFTN, and Dr. Razeen Sally who moderated the panel.

From Agentic Payment to Agentic Finance: A Virtual CFO, and COO for SMEs

On the consumer front, Jing expects the rise of personalised AI financial managers and advisors. On the business front, “Agentic payment is one of the most important forces driving agentic commerce and agentic systems,” Jing said. Ant will focus on democratising AI for SMEs at a time when small businesses engaged in global trade face increasingly complex payment and risk environments.

“Many SMEs may not have sophisticated digital skills or a large workforce to support them in doing business, and this is where AI agents can really play a role in helping them to navigate the landscape,” Jing said.

Antom, the merchant payment and digitisation services arm of Ant International, is using Antom Copilot to support payment integration, merchant onboarding, risk management settings, and chargeback response. Copilot cuts payment integration time by over 90%, boosts chargeback winning rates by 3 percentage points, and shortens chargeback resolution time by 46 percent.

During the Singapore FinTech Festival 2025, Antom also launched EPOS360, an app that brings point-of-sale (POS) system, payments, banking, lending, and growth support together to help micro, small and medium‑sized enterprises (MSMEs) move from setup to scale efficiently.

“Agentic AI will act like your COO, your CFO. They are stepping in as virtual financial and operational planners and implementers for SMEs, enabling them to compete globally,” Jing said.

He added that the rise of agentic payments and multi-agent systems are already on track, where autonomous AI agents collaborate to execute complex end-to-end transactions.

Collaboration with MAS on AI and Blockchain is an Exemplar of Public-Private Collaboration

“The tokenisation of money that enables global real-time settlement across borders will be particularly beneficial to SMEs and companies doing global trade,” Jing said. “On such important projects, it is necessary to have policy leadership from regulators like the Monetary Authority of Singapore, who provides institutional clarity and brings together an industry ecosystem of collaboration.”

Ant International’s deep collaboration with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) through key initiatives like Project Guardian and PathFin.ai sets an exemplary model of public-private partnership, especially when blockchain and AI have emerged as global themes.

“We are honoured to participate in the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s regulatory sandboxes. They provide the clarity and certainty needed to responsibly deploy cutting-edge technologies while managing risks,” said Jing. “This new technology is up and coming, we cannot shy away from it. Instead, the right way is to harness the technology to get the benefits while keeping in mind the potential risks and challenges.”

Under Project Guardian, Ant International has contributed to pilot efforts in tokenised money and cross-border settlements, demonstrating how real-time, transparent and credible blockchain-based payments can benefit SMEs engaged in global trade.

Through MAS’ PathFin.ai programme, Ant International is also actively engaging in knowledge exchange on AI implementations. Jing highlighted Ant International’s Falcon Time-Series Transformer (TST) Model — an 8.5-billion-parameter AI model designed for FX and liquidity forecasting. The model has significantly improved accuracy in predicting cash flow and liquidity, helping businesses reduce hedging costs in today’s volatile global economy.

“Through participating in sandboxes, we see benefits and opportunities to improve our products before rolling them out. It has really been a pleasure to be part of that – MAS is taking a very proactive role and it’s enormously valuable,” said Jing.

Ant International, which became independent in 2024, is headquartered in Singapore. The company now collaborates with over 1,400 institutional partners and provides global payment, settlement and digitisation services to 150 million merchants, and a network of global wallets and national QR schemes that together serve over 1.8 billion consumer accounts.
