Congratulations to our portfolio company QuantumTX Pte Ltd as the BIXEPS machine shows significant clinical outcomes beyond the shores of Singapore 🌐 A #clinicaltrial conducted in Hong Kong confirmed that BIXEPS machine developed in Singapore enhances #musclestrength and reduces pain in patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis. The BIXEPS device employs low-energy magnetic fields to stimulate muscle cells, effectively simulating the benefits of exercise for individuals unable to engage in physical activity. In Singapore, approximately 30 care centers have adopted the machine to assist seniors in improving #mobility and #balance. Check out the full article!🚀 https://lnkd.in/gJm2k2YW #NHICportco
A recent clinical study conducted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Prince of Wales Hospital has confirmed the effectiveness of the BIXEPS device, developed by QuantumTX Pte Ltd in Singapore, in improving muscle strength. This finding is a significant step forward in validating the impact of non-invasive, exercise-like muscle activation technologies. Building on earlier research by the National University of Singapore, which showed improvements in mobility and lean body mass among older adults, this new study further demonstrates the potential of the BIXEPS device as a game-changing solution for enhancing muscle health. 🎉 The BIXEPS device employs Magnetic Mitohormesis, a proprietary technology designed to activate muscle mitochondria in a stress-free way, making it particularly beneficial for those who face challenges with traditional exercise. Imagine achieving exercise-like benefits without the physical strain! These findings not only bring hope to aging populations but also open doors for broader applications in rehabilitation and wellness. 🌟 Want to experience the benefits of Magnetic Mitohormesis for yourself? Achieve exercise-like results without the physical strain—perfect for those seeking a stress-free way to boost muscle health. 🌟 👉 Sign up now for a free trial at www.bixeps.com! #HealthcareInnovation #MuscleHealth #QuantumTX #BIXEPS #FreeTrial #WellnessTech #NonInvasiveTherapy #ClinicalResearch #MagneticMitohormesis
