About Us

Singapore’s population is ageing rapidly, with those aged 65+ projected to rise from 8% in 2005 to 20% by 2030, and reaching 38% by 2050 [Kwok, Andrew. (2006). Ageing and public policy – A global perspective]. This demographic shift strains healthcare resources of the nation, increasing the need for reliable tools and technologies to detect early functional decline, support early prognostication for serious conditions, and predict important health outcomes. Technologies that provide automated, unobtrusive, and cost-effective monitoring are essential to meet these needs without overburdening the healthcare system.

Rehabilitation Research Institute of Singapore (RRIS) was established as a University Research Institute in 2016 through a collaboration between the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), and the National Healthcare Group (NHG). RRIS is uniquely positioned to address unmet clinical needs by bridging gaps in healthcare. We bring together expertise from three key areas: academic research through NTU, science and technology through A*STAR, and healthcare through NHG. This integrated approach allows us to leverage diverse strengths to develop innovative solutions for clinical challenges.

Work with us

We are committed to the work we are doing and believe it plays an important part in the healthcare of the future. We aim to help the elderly age in place in their homes where possible and lead a good and independent quality of life. We invite interested research institutions and investors to collaborate on and expand our research projects so that we may have a greater impact on providing better healthcare for the elderly.
