U.S., Japan, and Taiwan Experts Gather at NUWA Forum — Over 200 Reproductive Specialists Explore the Future of Integrated Fertility Technology

Is Increased Use of PGT-A Always Better? Experts Call for Evidence-Based Use of Mosaic Embryos
Choosing the Right PGT-A Platform: NUWA Fertility and Global Experts Unite to Advance IVF Success

TAIPEI, Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A), a screening method used during IVF to assess embryo chromosomal health, has gained widespread adoption in reproductive medicine worldwide. Yet the accuracy of various PGT-A platforms and their true clinical value remain points of ongoing debate. To dive deeper into the science behind PGT-A and explore the latest validated technologies, NUWA Fertility partnered with the Institute of Biotechnology at National Taiwan University to host its annual Reproductive Medicine Forum on August 3. The event welcomed over 200 fertility professionals and representatives from more than 65 reproductive centers, drawing international experts from the U.S. and Japan for a day of lively discussion and data-driven insights.

NUWA brought together over 200 reproductive medicine professionals from more than 65 IVF centers for a landmark forum on the future of fertility.
NUWA brought together over 200 reproductive medicine professionals from more than 65 IVF centers for a landmark forum on the future of fertility.

New Global Research Questions Conventional Use of Mosaic Embryos

One of the forum’s most anticipated speakers, Dr. Chaim Jalas – CEO and Director of Research and Development at U.S.-based Juno Genetics – presented findings from two prospective studies spanning the U.S. and Europe, with a combined dataset of 15,000 embryo samples. The research showed that when PGT-A is performed using the most advanced, clinically validated platforms, mosaic embryos (those containing both normal and abnormal cells) do not necessarily need to be discarded. By accurately identifying and excluding only embryos with chromosomal abnormalities, clinics can improve live birth rates, reduce embryo waste, and lower the risk of miscarriage.

Dr. Chi-Hong Liu, the Chief Medical Advisor at NUWA Fertility and convener of the forum, emphasized that PGT-A can only deliver meaningful results when the platform is backed by solid evidence and high diagnostic accuracy. He noted that many currently used platforms lack sufficient clinical validation when it comes to identifying mosaic embryos. “Many embryos classified as mosaic still have the potential to implant and result in healthy live births,” said Dr. Liu. “If we discard them based on imprecise technology, we’re not only limiting patients’ chances but possibly wasting embryos with real potential.”

AI-Powered Embryo Selection: Precision without Harm

Mr. Takahashi, a senior embryologist from Japan’s renowned Kato Ladies Clinic, shared advancements in embryo assessment using AI combined with time-lapse imaging technology. This non-invasive method continuously monitors embryo development and uses algorithmic scoring to improve selection accuracy – particularly useful for patients with a limited number of eggs or who should avoid repeated ovarian stimulation. The approach has significantly improved success rates for single embryo transfer, a strategy aimed at reducing the risks of multiple pregnancies.

Behind Every IVF Success: A Seamless Teamwork Between Lab and Clinic

Dr. Shang-Gwo Horng, the Director of NUWA Fertility Center, offered clinical strategies for gentle yet effective ovarian stimulation and medication protocols that support embryo quality. And Dr. Chung-Hao Lu, a leading researcher and embryologist, discussed best practices for helping patients improve embryo outcomes through lifestyle and treatment. He emphasized that even the best PGT-A platform can fail if the biopsy timing, technique, or sample handling are subpar. “Close coordination between physicians and embryologists is absolutely essential to maximize IVF success,” said Dr. Lu.

NUWA Forum: Advancing Fertility Through Evidence-Based Collaboration

Dr. Chi-Hong Liu concluded by reaffirming NUWA’s mission to drive innovation through open knowledge-sharing and scientific rigor. “By building a better-validated, more reliable PGT-A platform, we can help patients increase their chances of success while reducing unnecessary stress and resource loss.”

Now in its third consecutive year, NUWA Fertility’s Reproductive Medical Forum continues to be a vital platform for pushing boundaries in fertility care. Dr. Liu added that NUWA will remain committed to integrating clinical decision-making, lab excellence, and global collaboration to elevate Taiwan’s reproductive medicine on the international stage.

Calm Stores, Clear Sites: New Research Highlights How Seniors are Redefining Retail Expectations

SYDNEY, Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — While many Australians are adjusting their spending in response to rising cost-of-living, new research from Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ: MANH) reveals that older Australians continue to play a significant role in discretionary retail. Backed by financial stability and a clear preference for personalised, supportive in-store experiences, over-55s represent a key growth opportunity for retailers who are willing to meet them on their terms.

Shoppers aged 55+ are spending, but their expectations are high

According to the research, 68% of mature-aged shoppers reported either no impact or improved confidence in their personal finances, despite ongoing interest rate pressures. Notably, 64% also said that special offers and promotions influence their spending decisions in-store, demonstrating a willingness to engage, provided the experience is worthwhile.

“These shoppers are among the most financially secure and active in the retail space,” said Raghav Sibal, Vice President of APAC at Manhattan Associates. “But they’re also more discerning. They’re not shopping just for products, they’re shopping for a comfortable, helpful and human experience.”

The research revealed that older Australians value a quieter, calmer in-store environment. Two-thirds (66%) of shoppers aged 55 and over said they would prefer retailers to turn down in-store music or avoid it altogether, with one in four (24%) reporting they have actively avoided stores that feel too loud or chaotic.

In addition to creating the right environment, staffing also plays a critical role in shaping the in-store experience for senior shoppers. Only 26% of over-55s said they like to shop entirely independently. Most prefer some level of support, particularly when engaging with new technologies or unfamiliar products. Encouragingly for retailers, 41% of mature-aged consumers said they would shop in-store more often if there were more staff available to assist.

“Retailers sometimes assume that mature-age shoppers want to be left alone, but the data tells a different story. This group values human connection, reassurance, and calm environments. Creating in-store experiences that reduce sensory overload and provide access to well-informed, available staff will go a long way in driving loyalty and repeat visits,” said Sibal.

Technology should support, not replace, human interaction

Senior shoppers are not averse to using technology instore with 73% of shoppers being comfortable using self-checkouts and similar solutions. However, of those surveyed 40% of shoppers said that they usually prefer or require some assistance when using these tools.

“Mature-aged Australian shoppers are often willing to try and use instore technologies to speed up their retail experience, however they often need to be supported by knowledgeable staff in-store,” said Sibal. “It’s that personal interaction that makes the difference, someone who can answer questions or offer guidance.”

Older Australians are increasingly confident online, but want reassurance and clarity

Contrary to common assumptions, senior shoppers are far from digital holdouts. In fact, 65% of Australians aged 55 and over now say they are more likely to shop online due to factors like convenience, better access to deals and broader product selection available through digital channels.

This growing digital fluency is also reflected in user experience, with 57% of mature-age shoppers reporting they rarely or never encounter issues when shopping online. Only 10% say they frequently run into problems, highlighting a general comfort with digital retail.

However, attracting and retaining these shoppers requires retailers to understand the needs of older shoppers. A third (32%) say they would be encouraged to shop online more often if retailers provided clear reassurance around website security. Meanwhile, 28% want more detailed product descriptions and customer reviews to support informed decision-making and 20% said easier-to-navigate websites would increase their likelihood to purchase.

“We’re seeing a generational shift in how older Australians interact with digital commerce. This group is highly pragmatic. They’re not just looking for tech-savvy interfaces, rather they want clarity, trust and a sense of control. Retailers that invest in intuitive website design, transparent product information and strong cybersecurity messaging are more likely to win their confidence and their business,” concluded Sibal.

Japanese Workforce Lags APAC in Flexibility, ESG Priorities, and Ambition, But Change Is Underway, Reeracoen × Rakuten Insight Study Finds

TOKYO, Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Japan’s workforce is undergoing slow but significant transformation, even as it ranks the lowest across Asia-Pacific in ambition, mobility, and values-driven employment decisions. A newly released white paper by recruitment firm Reeracoen and research agency Rakuten Insight Global highlights how cultural norms around stability and tradition are giving way to quiet shifts in upskilling and flexibility.

The Reeracoen × Rakuten Insight APAC Workforce Whitepaper 2025, which surveyed over 12,000 professionals across 12 Asia-Pacific markets, reveals that Japan trails the region in several key workforce indicators. Only 24% of Japanese respondents strongly aspire to leadership roles, only 48% say ESG factors influence their employment decisions, and hybrid work adoption remains low at 33%.

“This report highlights a pivotal truth: the future of work in Japan depends on how well businesses can balance tradition with change,” said Kenji Naito, Group CEO of Reeracoen. “While the data shows Japan ranks lowest in ambition, mobility, and ESG alignment, it also reveals an opportunity. Organisations that respond to these shifts through flexibility, purpose, and skills development will lead the next chapter of Japan’s growth.”

Mr. Kenji Naito, Group Chief Executive Officer, Reeracoen Group
Mr. Kenji Naito, Group Chief Executive Officer, Reeracoen Group

Key Findings from Japan:

  • Conservative Career Ambitions: Only 24% of Japanese workers strongly aspire to leadership roles, well below the APAC average of 37%.
  • Limited ESG Influence: Only 48% of respondents evaluate CSR or ESG commitments when choosing an employer. This is the lowest score in the region.
  • Slow Progress on Flexibility: While 65% of respondents say flexibility is important, only 33% currently have access to a hybrid work arrangement.
  • Reluctance to Relocate: Japan has the lowest rates of openness to relocation, with only 9% of respondents open to moving overseas for work.
  • Upskilling Gathers Momentum: There are encouraging signs that Japanese workers are taking more ownership over their career development. One in three workers (33%) are now pursuing skills development independently, primarily through certifications and online platforms.
  • Conservative Salary Expectations: Only 13% expect a pay rise of more than 10% this year, compared to 21% regionally.

As Japan’s demographic challenges intensify and global competition for skilled talent increases, the need to adapt is becoming more urgent. Lifetime employment and seniority remain strong anchors; however, the data suggests that quiet and meaningful changes in areas such as hybrid work and digital learning are already underway. Employers that enhance their policies around flexibility, ESG, and upskilling will be better positioned to attract younger, more globally minded professionals.

Japan’s labour market is quietly but steadily evolving,” said Kosuke Soejima, Managing Director of Reeracoen Japan. “As global trends accelerate, our clients are recognising that attracting and retaining talent requires more than stability. It demands purpose, trust, and flexible, human-centric work models.”
