The Chulalongkorn Bariatric and Metabolic Institute (Chula BMI) launched ObesityConnects, a Line Official platform to connect obese patients to continuous treatment from specialists, while offering preventative information and daily health check-up features for the public who wish to stave off obesity.

BANGKOK, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Obesity is a health problem threatening the quality of life of Thai people. Data from the Chula BMI reveals alarming statistics that currently, among every 3 people in Thailand, 1 person has obesity! This trend appears to be increasing every year. 

People with obesity often suffer from many other accompanying diseases, such as fatty liver, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, heart disease, lung disease, liver cirrhosis, gallstones, cancer, etc. All of these are diseases that undermine quality of life, require long treatment periods with high costs, and are causes of premature death. 

Preventing obesity or completely recovering from obesity is therefore the best approach. However, losing weight to reach appropriate levels is easier said than done, as it is not just a matter of treatment through surgery or medication alone. It also involves behavioral changes in eating habits, daily activities, and exercise. Patients need to receive correct knowledge about self-care, continuous encouragement, and ongoing support. 

For this reason, the Chula BMI has initiated the “ObesityConnects” Line Official Account that compiles accurate knowledge about obesity and holistic health care. This allows obesity patients and the general public to learn and take care to stay away from obesity continuously and sustainably. 

Prof. Dr. Suthep Udomsawaengsup, bariatric surgeon and Director of Chula BMI, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, explained the purpose of ObesityConnects as “Sustainability is the ultimate answer for treating every disease. When patients have lost weight, the next goal is to maintain good health and an appropriate weight permanently. Sustainability can only occur when we keep patients in continuous contact with us, patients have follow-up monitoring, and there are tools to help alert and remind patients that it’s time to take care of their health, prompting them to return to self-care before problems develop and become more difficult to resolve.” 

“This platform will serve as a hub for healthcare information, connecting doctors, interdisciplinary professionals, and patients who have direct experience with obesity to share their knowledge. Ultimately, it connects people in society to raise awareness about healthcare and obesity prevention.” 

Currently, ObesityConnects is being used with patients at Chula BMI and in hospital networks that provide care for obesity patients, such as Thammasat University Hospital, Bangkok Hospital, and Srinagarind Hospital. 

“We discussed within the Thai Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery that a platform should be created that can be used by all patients, regardless of where they are receiving treatment. The platform is currently in the process of being adapted for other centers to use and can be divided into patients’ confidential information and public areas for exchanging knowledge about obesity,” said Prof. Dr. Suthep. 

Connect Patients to Continuous Treatment  

Prof. Dr. Suthep stated that both new and old patients at Chula BMI will be invited to use the ObesityConnects platform. The process is simple: add the Line account and register with personal information, weight, height, hospital name, and patient number. Then, the data will be synced with the hospital’s database.

“The function that is now available is monitoring obesity patients to see how they are doing after surgery. We want patients to communicate with the treatment team at all times. Patients can fill in daily data such as blood results and various diseases and talk with medical personnel at the center. Patients can rest assured that regardless of where they are, someone will be monitoring their care and providing basic advice.” 

“Specialists can access patients’ data and add information when patients come for check-ups at the center to make the database as complete as possible.” 

Approximately 600-700 users have visited ObesityConnects since the launch at the beginning of April this year. 

“Users are impressed that they receive accurate information and are confident that if something happens to them, specialists can directly answer their questions. They can take basic care of themselves and can make appointments to meet with specialists. This feature makes them feel less isolated, well-cared for, and closely monitored, which aligns with our objectives.” 

Next, Prof. Dr. Suthep revealed that the ObesityConnects team will upgrade the database to a national level called the National Registry to collect data on how many people have undergone obesity treatment surgery and what the treatment outcomes are in order to monitor treatment and the quality of obesity care. 

Prof. Dr. Suthep is confident that the platform will allow those who enter the procedure to gain the most benefits from the treatment and receive sustainable treatment for their obesity.

Connect to Keep Obesity Away   

The  ObesityConnects  Line OA can be used not only by obesity patients but also by the general public. Simply add Line, then register. Apart from the function to monitor health conditions,  ObesityConnects  also provides various useful health information:

• Daily Health Records: Record daily information, such as weight, food consumed at each meal, daily water intake, exercise, and other symptoms that occur each day. 
• Daily Food Calorie Check: Check how many kilocalories foods provide; for example, 100 grams of pork fried rice provides 181 kilocalories, 100 grams of rice mixed with shrimp paste provides 191 kilocalories, and 100 grams of tuna salad provides 86 kilocalories. 
• Energy Check: Monitor energy burned during exercise; for example, walking for 1 hour burns 183 kilocalories, running for 1 hour burns 588 kilocalories, and swimming for 1 hour burns 514 kilocalories. 
• Truth About Weight: A website that provides knowledge about obesity, such as obesity in women, obesity in adolescents, and how obesity affects long-term health. 
• Frequently Asked Questions about obesity treatment: For example, treatment procedures at Chula BMI, what to do if there are abnormal symptoms after surgery, and when and where King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital conducts blood tests. 

Using these functions will serve as a personal health diary for every user, said Prof. Dr. Suthep.

“People must be self-aware and constantly monitor their health, including weight, blood test results, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar levels. They should get regular check-ups because these are key indicators that warn us when our health sustainability is beginning to deteriorate. If weight increases, it must be reduced through better dietary control and regular exercise.”

Currently, the ObesityConnects team has been in discussions with the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth) and health partners about expanding this platform as a tool for preventing obesity among the general population. 

“We expect the ObesityConnects platform to serve as a personal tool for each individual to monitor and care for their health, as well as provide data that will help guide what types of and how much exercise and what types of food in what quantities will help control weight and reduce weight from risk levels to normal levels, making people’s health more secure and sustainable.” 

Connect to Keep Obesity Away  

In addition to treating patients with obesity, preventive approaches to obesity are also important. Chula BMI has initiated activities such as an exercise promotion campaign called “125 Days, 4 Medical Schools towards Good Health,” which encourages personnel from four medical schools—Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University; Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University; Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University; and Faculty of Medicine, Thammasat University—to exercise and record their exercise activities on Line OA. 

“Each group must input their health and exercise data, which will be scored with rewards given within the specified timeframe,” said Prof. Dr. Suthep. “This period is a trial phase for us to see what needs to be improved, how it works when implemented, whether users can easily input data, and to help them understand what level of health their daily exercise has reached.” 

The “125 Days, 4 Medical Schools towards Good Health” will finish around June. Prof. Dr. Suthep hopes to adapt this activity to the ObesityConnects platform as a tool to encourage awareness in healthcare.

“Obesity treatment and prevention are matters that must be done together. I tell every health fund that pays for obesity treatment for Thai people that we must also prevent obesity. All funds recognize our importance and support us as a hub to encourage society to take care of their health and prevent the increase of people with obesity.” 

“Understanding and Care”: What Obesity Patients Need 

No one wants to be obese, and obesity is something that can happen to anyone. Prof. Dr. Suthep said, “We must first understand that obese people don’t want to be obese. It’s just that there are many factors beyond food and exercise, such as environmental factors and hormones, that prevent metabolism from functioning at the level it should, causing weight to increase significantly. If we understand this, we’ll know that they don’t want to have obesity either.” 

In addition to understanding, caring is also important. “Caring means encouraging them to overcome obesity—whether it’s encouraging them to return to taking care of their health, or if they really can’t manage it, entering the treatment process, whether through medication or surgery. In the end, they will be able to return to society like everyone else.” 

If you are 1 in 3 of the population with obesity, you can access ObesityConnects to begin obesity treatment with the medical staff of Chula BMI. Even if you are among the 2 in 3 of the population who do not yet have obesity, you can also make use of ObesityConnects to prevent obesity and sustainably maintain your health.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — With the recent passage of the U.S. GENIUS Act and as stablecoins cross $27 trillion in annual transaction volume and regulatory clarity emerges across major markets, Stablecoin Summit 2025 returns to Singapore for its third edition and will bring together leaders from Mastercard, SAP, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), and top global leaders to chart the future of digital and programmable money.

Taking place on October 2 at Andaz Singapore, the summit will focus on how stablecoins are reshaping cross-border payments, enterprise finance, and real-world adoption across Asia and emerging markets. Compliance challenges, scalable best practices, and national strategies, along with regulatory frameworks from leading authorities, are set to feature prominently on the agenda.

Hosted by XREX Group and the Unitas Foundation, co-hosted by Anchorage Digital, Stablecoin Summit runs alongside TOKEN2049 and is widely regarded as a premier and must-attend event for thought leaders and innovators focused on the future and real-world applications of stablecoins. With support from global stablecoin ecosystem players, including Curve, Polygon, Scroll, and SAP. It will convene a curated group of regulators, financial institutions, fintechs, and infrastructure providers for deep dialogue on stablecoin deployment in high-volume, real-world financial systems.

Speakers from Central Banks, Financial Institutions, and Crypto-Native Leaders

Highlight speakers include:

• Friedrich K., Advisor, Bank for International Settlements
• Wayne Huang, Co-founder & CEO, XREX Group
• Paul Brody, Global Blockchain Leader, EY
• Tushar Gulhane, RVP, SAP Asia Pacific Japan
• Ashok Venkateswaran, VP Digital Assets & Stablecoins, Mastercard
• Parag Monteiro, Head of Digital Asset Platforms, Standard Chartered
• Marc Boiron, CEO, Polygon Labs
• Michael Egorov, Founder, Curve
• Angelina Kwan, CEO, Stratford Finance
• Alice Truong, VP Head of Digital Assets, Nuvei
• Sergio Mello, Head of Stablecoins, Anchorage Digital
• Additional leaders from Circle, Worldpay, Sony Ventures, S&P Global, Coinbase, and more.

• Venue: Andaz Singapore, 5 Fraser Street, Singapore 189354
• Format: One-day event with keynotes, panels, fireside chats, and institutional networking

Market Timeliness Fuels Stablecoin Application

Stablecoins have emerged as programmable, dollar-pegged digital assets that enable fast, transparent, and borderless payments. Despite being relatively new, they already process between $20–30 billion in on-chain transactions per day—less than 1% of global money movement, but growing rapidly.

“Stablecoins unlock a powerful new rail for enterprises to streamline B2B payments faster, cheaper, and programmable. More companies are now exploring how to integrate digital currencies into their ERP and treasury processes and launching pilots to assess real-world benefits. Institutional adoption will accelerate when businesses are simply able to add stablecoins to existing payment factories leveraging solutions like SAP Digital Currency Hub.” — Tushar Gulhane, SAP

Recent regulatory developments, including the GENIUS Act (US) and MiCA (EU), reflect institutional recognition of stablecoins’ relevance in financial markets. As stablecoins gain traction in use cases such as remittances, interbank settlement, B2B treasury, and capital markets, their adoption is projected to reach $2 trillion in circulating supply by 2028.

“U.S. dollar stablecoins are now the preferred way to access dollars across many emerging markets—and they increasingly function as money. SMEs hold and pay in stablecoins end‑to‑end rather than converting back to bank deposits. With clearer rules and multiplying real‑world uses, 2025 is an inflection point for global adoption. XREX Pay—operating under a Singapore Major Payment Institution (MPI)—demonstrates compliant innovation at scale. As host of the Stablecoin Summit, we’re convening global leaders to set standards and accelerate responsible adoption.” — Wayne Huang, Co-founder and CEO, XREX Group

“I truly believe that stablecoins are a groundbreaking development in digital payments, providing stability and efficiency. They offer significant potential to expand the global use of currencies like the Chinese RMB, which is not yet freely traded. By improving convertibility and adoption, stablecoins could support the RMB’s rise as a global currency, potentially rivaling the USD. Such a shift could modernize China’s monetary framework and strengthen its position in international financial markets.” — Angelina Kwan, CEO, Stratford Finance

The Growing Mandate for Institutional Stablecoin Adoption

2025 is expected to be a milestone year for institutional stablecoin adoption.

• Central banks and regulators are experimenting with tokenized money at scale
• Fintechs and card processors are integrating on-chain stablecoin settlement into backend infrastructure
• Demand is growing for non-USD stablecoins to power local commerce and FX in Asia, Latin America, and Africa
• Banks are exploring stablecoins as a competitive tool for cross-border trade, SME finance, and liquidity management

As stablecoins shift from crypto-native tools to mainstream financial infrastructure, Stablecoin Summit 2025 will offer a global platform for stakeholders to align on infrastructure, policy, and product design.

BRUSSELS, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Radisson Hotel Group has announced the signing of Radisson Hotel & Suites Bay of Lights Sihanoukville, marking an exciting addition to its expanding portfolio in Cambodia. Scheduled to open in early 2029, the newly built 176-key hotel will be located within the Gateway District, the first phase of the Bay of Lights, a visionary mixed-use township on Cambodia’s southern coast.

Sihanoukville, Cambodia’s leading deep-water port city, is undergoing a government-driven transformation into a multi-purpose Special Economic Zone (SEZ) by 2038. This ambitious initiative will establish the city as a hub for finance, trade, industry, transport, and technology, stimulating corporate demand in addition to its growing leisure appeal.

The new hotel will feature a mix of well-appointed rooms and serviced apartments, most with panoramic ocean views, along with three dining outlets, a rooftop pool, spa, and fitness center. Ideally located just a 5-minute walk from a private beach and adjacent to the city’s CBD, the property will cater to both business and leisure travelers. It is within a 25-minute drive of Sihanoukville International Airport and 20 minutes from Serendipity Pier, the gateway to Cambodia’s pristine islands.

The project is developed by a visionary real estate developer who blends global perspective with profound local expertise, guided by the philosophy “Begin from the Heart.” Over the past decade, the developer has delivered 17 landmark projects, securing a prominent position in Southeast Asia’s property sector and setting new benchmarks for high-quality residential and commercial developments in Cambodia. With keen market insight and a proven track record, it offers global investors a secure and trustworthy channel for overseas assets investment, driven by its deep-rooted dedication to this land. 

“Sihanoukville is a hidden gem of Southeast Asia, offering a unique blend of coastal beauty and fast-growing economic opportunities. The signing of Radisson Hotel & Suites Sihanoukville underlines our commitment to expanding in Cambodia’s key destinations, complementing our pipeline in Phnom Penh,“ said Ramzy Fenianos, Chief Development Officer, APAC, Radisson Hotel Group.

The Bay of Lights development, spread across 934 hectares, integrates residential, commercial, financial, hospitality, and leisure components, including a marina and cultural attractions. As part of this master-planned destination,

Radisson Hotel Group has secured a prime location in the heart of Bay of Lights – the Bay of Lights International Convention Center (BICC) district – capturing rare advantages at the project’s early stage of development. Surrounded by high-end amenities such as premium outlets, duty-free shopping, and a golf course, the hotel is poised to benefit from infrastructure upgrade: the government’s planned relocation of the administrative center in 2026, the expansion of the Sihanoukville Airport, and the operational Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway. Complementing this, it is projected that conventions, events and leisure facilities are to attract 650,000 visitors annually.

Backed by the policy edge of Ream City, industrial support from Bay of Lights, and foot traffic generated by BICC, the Radisson hotel is well-positioned to meet high-end hospitality demand, ensuring strong occupancy and stable returns.

Radisson Hotel Group already has two hotels under development in the Cambodian capital: Radisson Blu Phnom Penh (160 keys) and Radisson RED Phnom Penh (200 keys), both scheduled to open in 2027. The addition of Radisson Hotel & Suites Sihanoukville will further strengthen the Group’s upcoming presence in Cambodia and its commitment to the Southeast Asia Pacific region.

With Sihanoukville welcoming approximately 5 million visitors in 2024, including both domestic and international travelers, the destination is on track to become one of Cambodia’s most sought-after tourism and business hubs. Guests will be able to enjoy the city’s white-sand beaches such as Independence, Serendipity, and Otres, explore cultural landmarks like Wat Leu Pagoda, shop at Phsar Leu market, or experience the natural wonders of Ream National Park and Kbal Chhay waterfall.

SYDNEY, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — With media literacy newly added to the national schools curriculum, Miroma Project Factory (MPF) is proud to have collaborated with Squiz Kids on the rebuild of Newshounds program, a world-first classroom resource helping Australian primary school kids spot misinformation online. Originally launched three years ago and now refreshed for today’s classrooms, Newshounds engages kids aged 8–12 through gamified storytelling, teaching them essential skills for navigating the digital world. With over 4,500 classrooms already using the tool, MPF and Squiz Kids are ensuring teachers have a playful, practical way to build the next generation of savvy content consumers.

“Kids have more information coming at them than at any other time in history,” said Bryce Corbett, Director for Squiz Kids. “It’s why there’s never been a more important time for them to learn, at an early age and before they have a smartphone in their hands, how to tell online fact from fiction.

“Newshounds teaches them just that. And we were so pleased to have MPF help us reimagine the resource to make it even more engaging.”

Newshounds puts kids in the paws of Squiz-E – the world’s first internet detective dog. As they progress through animated scenes, interactive newsrooms, and real-world inspired media challenges, players learn how to question sources, spot misinformation, and distinguish between facts, opinions, and clickbait.

The experience is grounded in a comprehensive learning framework developed by Squiz Kids with support from media literacy experts and educators. MPF worked closely with Squiz Kids to bring this vision to life as an immersive, responsive web-based game playable on any device, with minimal barriers to access for schools and families.

Developed in alignment with national education outcomes and tested in real classrooms, Newshounds represents the kind of digital-first learning experience Australian schools are increasingly seeking. Its launch coincides with media literacy becoming part of the national curriculum – a timely and much-needed shift toward building critical thinking skills in the digital age.

Working to a Squiz Kids remit to overhaul version 1.0 of Newshounds, MPF provided the technical expertise to transform the piloted, static classroom toolkit into a dynamic, interactive-based experience tailored for primary students aged 8-12. The platform features:

• Gamified modules exploring truth, bias, misinformation, and source evaluation
• Age-appropriate quizzes, videos, and prompts to support class discussion and reflection
• A teacher dashboard for lesson planning and tracking student progress
• Scaffolded content mapped to cognitive development and curriculum standards

As noted in a recent Squiz Kids newsletter, “Media literacy becomes part of the curriculum! Oh happy day!” (Squiz Kids Weekly Newsletter, May 2025), Newshounds is well-positioned to become a flagship tool – making media literacy not only accessible, but engaging, for teachers and students alike.

By making critical thinking fun, interactive and easy to deliver, Newshounds helps lay the foundation for a generation of young Australians who know not just how to consume information – but how to question it.

About Squiz Kids

Squiz Kids is an award-winning daily news podcast for Australian children aged 8-12, designed to make current events accessible, engaging, and age-appropriate. Its media literacy program, Newshounds helps young Australians build media literacy and critical thinking skills.
