Research integrating Western medicine and TCM gets boost under new collaboration
Sleep disorders, chronic diseases and women’s health are the three areas of the partnership will focus on initially.
Singapore's Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and healthcare provider OUE Healthcare (OUEH) have bolstered their collaboration to harmonize Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The partnership concentrates on research into sleep disorders, chronic diseases, and women's health. Swee Yong Peng, OUEH's chief commercial officer, highlighted that the healthcare provider already operates two integrative medicine clinics in Hougang and Aljunied, with plans for additional clinics.
Together with NTU, the goal is to create a structured clinical pathway to assess outcomes and convert research into practical care models. NTU's School of Biological Sciences and OUEH will combine their strengths, employing NTU's biomedical sciences expertise and OUEH's clinical experience to address real clinical needs and produce knowledge that improves patient care and advances integrative medicine.
