walkpad active⁴⁵ smart insole tracks COP, plantar pressure, and PTI for running, squat form, rehab, and diabetic foot monitoring with lab-grade precision.

New York, NY, United States, October 23, 2025 — AlphaBio K.K. is pleased to announce the Kickstarter launch of walkpad active⁴⁵, a new-generation  smart insole for gait analysis (COP). This AI-powered wearable combines precision biomechanics and sensor fusion to redefine running gait analysis, squat form correction, rehabilitation tracking, and diabetic foot monitoring. With 45 high-density pressure sensors and a 6-axis IMU unit (provides velocity, acceleration, orientation and rotation angles) on each foot, walkpad active⁴⁵ measures Center of Pressure (COP), plantar pressure, and PTI (pressure-time integral) in real time, offering a level of data accuracy once reserved for clinical laboratories.

Designed to bring clinical-grade gait analytics into everyday life, this smart insole captures the complete biomechanics of motion rather than simple step counts. Its advanced AI algorithms analyze COP, velocity, ground contact area, and pressure distribution to identify inefficiencies, asymmetry, or risk of overload—insights that help users improve technique, balance, and recovery. Whether used for personal fitness, sports rehab, or diabetic foot monitoring, walkpad active⁴⁵ delivers measurable results grounded in scientific precision.

The system’s app synchronizes with mobile video for camera-overlay playback that shows each movement in sync with pressure heatmaps and COP paths. Developed collaboratively with fitness coaches, athletes, and rehabilitation specialists, the platform enables targeted gait correction, strength assessment, and preventive feedback. walkpad active⁴⁵ also supports SDK/API integration for clinics and research institutions, as well as future compatibility with Apple Health and Google Health Connect.

“Other insoles count steps, whereas walkpad active⁴⁵ measures your COP (Center of Pressure),” says Mindy Fang, Founder and CEO of AlphaBio K.K. “COP is the gold standard in gait analysis, and with 45 sensors plus a 6-axis IMU in each foot, walkpad active⁴⁵ brings laboratory-level precision into everyday fitness, rehabilitation, and wellness.”

The insole’s construction emphasizes durability, sustainability, and comfort. It features ortholite materials, minimal plastic-free packaging, and a flexible design. Edge-based AI processing provides low-latency feedback and BLE connectivity, while local-first data handling and encrypted synchronization ensure privacy. walkpad active⁴⁵ uses sweat-resistant material for coating, is lightweight, and designed for long-term daily use across multiple sports and health applications.

Global fulfillment is coordinated through AlphaBio’s Shenzhen supply chain, allowing rapid iteration and cost control. Backers can expect worldwide delivery beginning in February 2026 (with exceptions in remote or restricted areas), with transparent VAT and customs estimates shared prior to payment. AlphaBio provides multi-language support in English, Japanese, and Chinese, alongside regular progress updates throughout production.

The Kickstarter smart insole campaign for walkpad active⁴⁵ will be live soon in November 2025, inviting early adopters to help make clinical-grade gait analysis available to everyone. For more information, visit https://alphabio.co.jp/ or explore additional COP gait analysis & plantar pressure resources on walkpad active⁴⁵’s website.

AlphaBio believes that true innovation comes through collaboration. We welcome partnerships with universities, research labs, startups, and specific sports communities worldwide to explore new applications of gait analytics. Whether in clinical research, sports performance, or rehabilitation programs, walkpad active⁴⁵ is designed as an open platform for global co-creation.

About AlphaBio K.K.

AlphaBio K.K. is a Tokyo-based health-technology company integrating AI, biomechanics, and wearable sensors to deliver clinical-grade gait analytics to consumers and professionals. Founded in 2018 by data scientist Mindy Fang, AlphaBio’s flagship product, walkpad active⁴⁵, combines high-density pressure sensing and IMU fusion to compute Center of Pressure (COP), plantar pressure, PTI, and contact area. The walkpad active⁴⁵ platform is co-developed with coaches, athletes, and clinical experts to ensure scientific accuracy and real-world usability.

Behind the technology is a human story. Mindy Fang began her work in 2018 after collaborating with a Japanese pharmaceutical company specializing in biologics for diabetic foot.

On October 13, 2025, at the Asia-Pacific Awards by the World Travel Awards (WTA), Panhou Retreat was honored as Asia’s Leading Green Resort 2025 and nominated for World’s Leading Green Resort 2025, marking a remarkable achievement for Impression Asia Travel and Vietnam’s sustainable tourism movement.

Vietnam, October 23, 2025 — “Being recognized as Asia’s Leading Green Resort 2025 by the World Travel Awards is an immense source of pride for us. This award is not only a recognition of over 20 years of relentless dedication to eco-conscious tourism that respects nature and traditional culture but also an inspiration for us to remain steadfast on the journey of sustainable development. We are truly grateful to the local Hoàng Su Phì community and to all those who have stood by Panhou Retreat in spreading positive values and helping us achieve this success,” shared Mr. Kien Le – representative of Panhou Retreat.

Panhou Retreat – a serene wellness retreat in Vietnam, harmoniously blending nature, culture, and sustainable living in the heart of Hoang Su Phi.

Panhou Retreat – Known as the “Green Oasis” of Hoang Su Phi

Nestled among the mountains and forests of Hoang Su Phi (Tuyen Quang), Panhou Retreat is a pioneering eco-resort in Vietnam with over 20 years of development following a sustainable tourism model that connects the community and preserves indigenous culture. With its green architectural space and environmentally friendly operation model, Panhou Retreat has become an ideal destination for travelers seeking serenity, a connection with nature, and an authentic cultural experience in the highlands.

For that reason, Panhou Retreat, listed among the best wellness retreat in Vietnam, is often compared to a “green oasis” with architecture in harmony with nature. The entire resort uses bamboo, wood, stone, and rattan—eco-friendly, biodegradable, and recyclable materials—minimizing the use of concrete and modern industrial technologies. The open design optimizes natural light and airflow, preserving tranquility and a close bond with the surrounding forest landscape. It is also one of the first 5-star resorts in Vietnam to pioneer sustainable tourism with a strong sense of responsibility toward the community.

In its operations, Panhou Retreat adheres to the 3R philosophy: Reduce – Reuse – Recycle. Single-use plastics are eliminated and replaced with refillable glass bottles and reusable items made from stone, bamboo, wood, and rattan. Solar energy systems and motion-sensor lighting are cleverly integrated into the natural environment to reduce environmental impact while ensuring necessary illumination. Notably, over 95% of the staff are from local ethnic communities, professionally trained in waste sorting, refill station management, environmental protection, as well as tourism–hospitality skills and foreign languages, providing stable job opportunities and development for the Red Dao people and other local communities.

Spreading the Journey of Sustainable Tourism

Panhou Retreat, a serene retreat in Vietnam, also maintains an ethnic heritage museum that preserves traditional garments and artifacts of the Red Dao people. Visitors are not only invited to explore but also to participate in cultural experiences such as wood carving, dó-paper painting, traditional tea rituals, garden meditation, herbal baths made from over 20 precious mountain herbs, as well as trekking and cycling through local villages. More than 95% of international guests express their desire to return if they have the opportunity to visit Vietnam again—a testament to the meaningful and unforgettable experiences that Panhou creates.

With a community-oriented spirit, Panhou Retreat has established the “Panhou Sustainable Development Fund” with an initial capital of 200 million VND, sourced from a portion of revenue from each guest’s stay. This fund focuses on four key goals: supporting local economic development; vocational training for local residents; tree planting to protect the primary forest; and supporting waste collection initiatives in sustainable development projects. Thus, every guest visiting Panhou directly contributes to Hoàng Su Phì’s green journey.

From a humble resort hidden in the ancient forest, Panhou has remained steadfast on its path of “slow but steady” development—preserving cultural identity and empowering the community. Winning the title Asia’s Leading Green Resort 2025 from the World Travel Awards (WTA) is not only a source of pride for Panhou but also a strong affirmation of Vietnam’s sustainable tourism direction. When nature and culture walk hand in hand with people to create meaningful values, destinations in Vietnam are fully capable of shining on the global tourism map.

World Travel Awards (WTA) and the title “Asia’s Leading Green Resort 2025”
Dubbed the “Oscars of the global tourism industry,” the World Travel Awards (WTA) is one of the most prestigious international accolades with over 30 years of history, honoring organizations with outstanding contributions to tourism in general and to tourism aligned with sustainable development and nature conservation in particular.

This year, the category “Asia’s Leading Green Resort 2025” featured nine top contenders from across the continent. Among them, Panhou Retreat — one of three distinguished representatives from Vietnam — successfully met the strict evaluation criteria set by the judging panel in terms of architecture, operational model, and environmental impact, earning the honor of being announced as the winner.

Chimes Israel has been helping people with disabilities use their own abilities and skills to lead a life of dignity, independence, and community participation since 1991.

Ashkelon, Israel, October 23, 2025 /MarketersMEDIA/ — Chimes Israel has been helping people with disabilities use their own abilities and skills to lead a life of dignity, independence, and community participation since 1991.

Currently, Chimes is seeking to construct a fortified early childhood development center in Ashkelon, about eight miles from Gaza, offering an expanded safe room for shelter and the highest level of rehabilitative care.

Chimes serves more than 1,400 clients ranging in age from infant to elderly with cognitive disabilities, autism, developmental delays, genetic syndromes, and mental health issues. Their 26 rehabilitative facilities were temporarily closed in 2023, but they responded with innovative in-person and tech solutions.

While Chimes Israel offers innovative solutions, free of charge to its clients, it is the next-level commitment of its staff that stands out any further.

Despite being on the move in 2023 and unsure of when she would be back home, Lilach Tanami continued serving as a social worker with Chimes Israel. She reached out to families in Ashkelon in October 2023, a city only eight miles from the Gaza border.

“Many children with developmental disabilities could not stay in their homes,” Lilach said. “I coordinated with a colleague and with the city for support and relocation. We also began remote therapeutic work: Zoom sessions, home visits by staff, and parent guidance.”

Chimes Israel serves the following groups in Israel:

• Preschool children six months old to three years old at rehabilitative daycare centers
• School-age children in leisure after-school programs
• Young adults in academic-vocational colleges
• Able-bodied adults with cognitive disabilities in a variety of supportive work programs
• Adults with severe disabilities in therapeutic nursing day centers
• Jews, Christians, Muslims, and refugees

Social worker Tslil Elmakiyas is a testimony to the selfless commitment that sets Chimes Israel apart in its service to those with developmental disabilities. During a time of intense personal struggle, she continued working with children at the Ashkelon day center.

“Helping others is healing. Supporting someone else, lifting them up—it heals you too,” she explained. “Because I, too, had lived through trauma, some of my clients felt I truly understood them. That created a special, healing bond.”

GIP’s refined service offering is designed to give corporate clients a strategic, risk-aware path to U.S. expansion via the L-1A programme.

Washington DC, United States, October 22, 2025 — FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Global Immigration Partners Announces Enhanced Strategic Advisory Services for U.S. “New Office” L-1A Visa Filings

Washington, D.C. / London / Rome – – Global Immigration Partners (GIP), a leading international immigration law firm specialising in business and investor-led U.S. immigration, today announced the launch of an enhanced advisory service stream designed specifically to support multinational enterprises seeking to transfer executives or senior managers under the U.S. “new office” L-1A visa category.

As the U.S. immigration landscape continues to increase scrutiny of intra-company transfers and new-office operations, GIP’s refined service offering is designed to give corporate clients a strategic, risk-aware path to U.S. expansion via the L-1A programme.

Key Features of the Enhanced Offering Include:

Comprehensive New-Office Business Planning – GIP’s team assists clients in developing robust business plans tailored to U.S. operations, including site leasing, staffing strategies, financial forecasting, and organisational structure for newly-established U.S. affiliates.

Manager / Executive Role Documentation – Advising on the specific regulatory definition of “manager” or “executive” under the L-1A statute, GIP helps clients build the required organisational charts, supervisory hierarchies, and job-scope evidence to withstand heightened adjudicator scrutiny.

Timing & Extension Strategy – For new-office L-1A filings (initial stay typically 1 year), GIP guides clients through extension planning—ensuring that the U.S. entity meets the growth, operational and revenue-generation criteria required to qualify for subsequent approval periods.

Global Reach, Local Expertise – With offices in Washington D.C., London and Rome, GIP is uniquely positioned to advise foreign companies headquartered in Europe or elsewhere seeking to establish U.S. operations, bridging both global and U.S. compliance frameworks.

Tailored Corporate Immigration Support – Beyond the new office filing, GIP integrates broader business-immigration planning—covering E-visa programmes, EB-5 investment routes, and H-1B/skilled-worker transfers—to align with corporate strategies for U.S. entry, growth and talent mobility. 

Global Immigration Partners | Law Firm

Why This Matters Now

With recent bipartisan U.S. legislative proposals and enhanced adjudicative scrutiny of intra-company transfers, particularly for new U.S. entities, companies face a more demanding regulatory environment for the L-1A “new office” pathway. GIP’s enhanced service addresses this shifting landscape by equipping enterprises with the documentation, strategy and legal backing needed to succeed.

Leadership Commentary

“Multinationals seeking to establish or expand U.S. operations under the new-office L-1A model require more than simply filing a petition—they need a clear operational blueprint, vetted executive roles, and an extension strategy that aligns with U.S. immigration expectations,” said Alexander Jovy, Co-Managing Partner at Global Immigration Partners. “Our enhanced service offering responds to that need, allowing companies to move forward with confidence.”

About Global Immigration Partners

Global Immigration Partners is a specialist immigration law firm with a global footprint and a singular focus: providing business- and investor-oriented U.S. immigration solutions. With thousands of successful visa approvals in categories including L-1, E-2, EB-5 and H-1B, GIP serves clients worldwide with personalised legal strategies, global reach and local expertise.

Malaysia’s Housing Minister YB Nga Kor Ming has been elected President of the UN-Habitat Assembly for 2025–2027. The first Malaysian to hold the role. His leadership will focus on human-centred, sustainable, and inclusive urban development that makes cities not just liveable, but loveable.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, October 21, 2025 — The world’s cities stand at a crossroads. As urbanisation accelerates, the choice before humanity is stark: build cities that divide, or cities that dignify. Into this moment steps YB Nga Kor Ming, Malaysia’s Minister of Housing and Local Government newly elected President of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) Assembly for a two-year term beginning in 2025.

For Malaysia, his election represents a historic milestone the first time the nation will preside over the UN-Habitat Assembly. For the global community, it marks the arrival of a leader who believes that the truest measure of development is not concrete, but compassion. YB Nga Kor Ming has spent his career asking a deceptively simple question: What makes a city liveable? For him, the answer has always gone beyond architecture and infrastructure. It lies in the dignity of its people in homes built not only of bricks, but of belonging.

“A house is not built by bricks and mortar,” he told delegates in Nairobi. “A home is built by hope and dreams.”

That sentiment has guided Nga’s work across Malaysia, where he has built a reputation as one of Southeast Asia’s most forward-looking policymakers in housing and urban transformation.

Under his leadership, Malaysia’s Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) has prioritised urban rejuvenation, affordable housing, and sustainable community planning initiatives that balance growth with inclusivity.

He advances the Malaysia SDG Cities initiative, integrating smart technology and green infrastructure into Malaysia’s local councils. His push for urban regeneration has transformed underdeveloped areas into thriving, people-centred spaces, while ensuring that cultural heritage remains intact.

“If we do not want our cities to deteriorate and become slums,” he said, “urban renewal, rejuvenation, and regeneration are the way forward.”

Nga’s appointment as President of UN-Habitat is no coincidence it’s the culmination of two decades of consistent, people-first leadership. His approach to governance blends pragmatism with moral clarity: results grounded in empathy, progress rooted in purpose. At home, Nga’s ministry has introduced policies to expand access to affordable housing, strengthen waste management and sustainability frameworks, and elevate community resilience in the face of climate change. Internationally, he has championed cross-border collaboration on sustainable development, ensuring that the Asia-Pacific region’s urban progress aligns with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.

“Leadership is not a title,” he reminded the Assembly. “It’s a responsibility. As President of UN-Habitat, I will lead by example to ensure that development begins and ends with humanity.”

Nga’s election reflects Malaysia’s growing influence in global policy discourse a testament to the nation’s evolution from industrial economy to sustainability innovator. Under his stewardship, Malaysia has advanced its Smart City Framework, integrating digital technology, renewable energy, and citizen engagement to create cities that are both intelligent and inclusive. The country has also gained recognition for its National Affordable Housing Policy, designed to provide safe, dignified homes for every Malaysian family regardless of income.

His presidency is, in many ways, an international recognition of this domestic success proof that Malaysia’s model of urban transformation, grounded in balance and humanity, has something vital to offer the world.

Over the next two years, as President of the UN-Habitat Assembly, Nga will lead efforts to address the world’s most pressing urban challenges from housing inequality and slum proliferation to climate resilience and social inclusion.

His agenda is clear and urgent:

• To drive urban renewal and regeneration as engines of dignity.
• To position human wellbeing as the defining metric of development.
• And to restore trust and collaboration between nations, communities, and citizens.

“Urbanisation is not a threat,” he told delegates. “If guided with heart, it becomes humanity’s greatest opportunity. Cities are not made of concrete alone they are built of people’s dreams. When citizens fall in love with their city, they protect it, they grow it, and they make it last.”

Nga Kor Ming’s presidency could not come at a more pivotal moment. With more than 70% of humanity expected to live in cities by 2050, the choices made today will define the moral and environmental landscape of tomorrow.

His leadership brings an Eastern pragmatism to a global debate — blending Malaysia’s lived experience of rapid urbanisation with a universal call for empathy in planning, equality in housing, and renewal in purpose.

“We must remind ourselves that the goal is not just to make cities liveable,” he concluded, “but to make them loveable.”

YB Nga Kor Ming is Malaysia’s Minister of Housing and Local Government and a veteran statesman known for his commitment to inclusive development. With a career spanning over two decades, he has championed policies on affordable housing, green urban planning, and sustainable local governance.

In 2025, he will represent Malaysia as President of the UN-Habitat Assembly, leading international efforts to build cities that are not only functional, but profoundly human.

About the company: The Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) leads Malaysia’s efforts in building sustainable, inclusive, and liveable cities. Through policies on affordable housing, urban regeneration, and smart city development, KPKT works to create communities that balance progress with people-centred values. Guided by its mission to enhance quality of life for all Malaysians, the Ministry continues to champion innovation, resilience, and dignity in urban governance.

Hangzhou, China, October 18, 2025 — As the 3rd Liangzhu Forum opened in Hangzhou, capital of East China’s Zhejiang province, on Oct 18, the ancient Chinese civilization once again came to the international spotlight.

A group of international culture enthusiasts and Gen Z content creators embarked on a journey into China’s ancient heart — the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the cradle of 5,000-year Chinese civilization, on Oct 17.

Hoping to catch a glimpse of the roots of this ancient civilization, the participants explored the Liangzhu archaeological site, visiting landmarks such as Mojiaoshan Palace and Fanshan Cemetery, and took part in pottery spinning and jade polishing workshops that brought ancient craftsmanship to life.

The following day, the group toured the Liangzhu Museum, where they traced the evolution of Chinese aesthetics and creativity through the ages.

“It’s amazing to see how advanced this ancient civilization was,” said Wafaa Khalid from Egypt, who found parallels between Liangzhu and Egypt’s own heritage. Varvara Savilova from Russia shared, “Touching the clay myself felt like time travel — you can sense it took a lot of time, skill and effort of the people who lived here 5,000 years ago.”

For Sofia Don from Russia, the experience brought history to life: “It’s really surprising to me how they made such fine art without modern tools — just pure imagination and craftsmanship. I felt like a Liangzhu artisan for a moment.”

Held in parallel with the Liangzhu Forum, which gathers global scholars and policymakers to discuss the shared future of civilizations, the event transformed Liangzhu from an archaeological site into a living stage of cultural dialogue — where the past and present meet, and where the ancient still speaks to the modern world.

New York, US, October 18, 2025 — Associated Wealth Advisors Ltd (AWA), a trailblazing fintech leader revolutionizing global wealth management, has unveiled “The 10-Billion Fund Showdown,” a landmark global investment event designed to select an exceptional leader for its transformative The 10-Billion Fund project. Dubbed the “Olympics of Capital Markets,” this high-profile competition underscores AWA’s dominance in fintech innovation and inclusive finance, while paving the way for its anticipated Nasdaq listing in May 2026.

AWA’s platform offers a diverse range of investment opportunities, including Pre-IPO/IEO investments, multi-asset strategies, and private equity, catering to both conservative and growth-oriented investors. By lowering entry barriers, AWA enables retail investors to access high-value opportunities traditionally reserved for institutions. For example, in 2024, AWA guided a retail investor to a Pre-IPO investment in a unicorn tech company, yielding over 300% returns upon listing. That same year, AWA designed a hybrid portfolio for an Asian client, blending tech stocks and stable dividend-paying assets to achieve a 40% return within 12 months. These success stories highlight AWA’s ability to deliver inclusive finance and strategic insight.

AWA’s technological prowess is central to its success.
