Singapore company combines medical devices, clinical software and AI to support primary care across international markets

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 October 2026 – Leona Tong, founder and CEO of Singapore-based digital healthcare company OPH Health, was selected for the 2026 Forbes China 100 Most Influential Chinese Selection. The awards ceremony was held on Thursday evening, Oct. 29.

Now in its sixth year, the annual selection recognizes individuals across technology, healthcare, business, investment and sports. Leona joins this year’s honorees as a Value Creator.

Leona founded OPH Health in Singapore in 2023 and leads an international team experienced in large-scale primary healthcare projects. Through collaboration with governments and healthcare organizations, she has led OPH’s expansion into more than 10 countries and regions.

Primary care services are often fragmented, with uneven access to specialist expertise and gaps between screening, treatment and follow-up. OPH integrates medical devices and clinical software to connect care across communities, clinics, hospitals and homes. Its work spans healthcare delivery infrastructure and medical AI, helping frontline providers access specialist resources and coordinate care.

By combining health assessments, telemedicine and clinical software, OPH helps providers coordinate screening, referrals and chronic disease follow-up. This extends care beyond individual appointments and creates a clinical data foundation for medical AI development.

Integrated solutions for public and private healthcare

For public health systems, OPH provides integrated solutions for community screening, referrals between levels of care and regional health information sharing, supporting national primary healthcare programs. Connecting primary care facilities with hospitals helps extend access to specialist expertise and supports earlier detection of health risks, referrals and follow-up.

For private healthcare groups, OPH integrates health assessments, telemedicine and chronic disease management into digital clinic and care management solutions, helping providers deliver ongoing care beyond individual consultations. OPH adapts its solutions to local needs, from building primary care capacity in less-developed countries and regions to supporting clinics and community health services in developed markets.

Integrated tools for frontline care

Primary care workstations bring together screening, outpatient care, chronic disease management and telemedicine, while capturing clinical data. Capsule Clinic provides community-based health assessments and remote consultations. When paired with Smart Pharmacy, it also supports prescription medication pickup. Portable spirometers and companion software support lung function testing and follow-up. Together, these tools help providers bring more services closer to patients.

VIOLA is used in Singapore’s public polyclinics. Its vaccine cabinet and management software help nurses monitor temperatures, verify vaccine retrieval using computer vision, and track inventory and expiration dates. The system maintains traceable records of vaccine handling. Frontline nursing teams contributed to its development and refinement, with project support from OPH Health.

Connecting medical devices and clinical software with AI

OPH is progressively enhancing its distributed medical AI system linking medical devices, clinical software and large AI models. As the system evolves, OPH is integrating data from clinic workstations and home monitoring devices into consultations, referrals and follow-up. AI servers at clinics and hospitals are intended to run models locally to assist with clinical documentation, report interpretation and clinical decision-making. Clinicians would review AI outputs before inclusion in medical records.

OPH is expanding the system’s capacity to maintain a health digital twin for each person: a digital profile updated with test results, clinician-verified records and monitoring data. AI assistants for clinicians and individuals would support care plans, reminders and follow-up between visits. Features derived from clinical data, together with feedback, could support model training, evaluation and improvement, subject to authorization for the intended use and quality review. Model updates would require validation and approval before clinical use. With raw data processed locally under appropriate controls, the system is designed to connect ongoing care with medical AI development.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 October 2026 – International Business Settlement Holdings Limited (“IBS” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 0147.HK) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with the shareholder of QuantumCompute Solutions Limited (“QuantumCompute Solutions”) to acquire its entire equity interests for a consideration of HK$563 million. Upon Completion, QuantumCompute Solutions will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of IBS, and its financial results will be consolidated into the Group’s financial statements.

QuantumCompute Solutions indirectly owns approximately 85.94% equity interest in Shanghai Tianjing Fulian. Shanghai Tiangjing Fulian is also 5.56%-owned by Foxconn Industrial Internet, the shares of which are listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (stock code: 601138.SH). The Shanghai Tianjing Fulian Group is principally engaged in the design and development of AI SoC products and integrated solutions, with a particular focus on low-power, cost-effective AI computing and edge computing applications. Through its chip design capabilities and comprehensive technology solutions, the Shanghai Tianjing Fulian Group has established a solid technological foundation in AI inference and edge-side computing infrastructure. The Shanghai Tianjing Fulian Group is an officially authorised independent chip design house for MediaTek Inc., a leading global semiconductor company.

The Directors believe that the Acquisition will enable the Group to expand its business scope from its existing fintech and computing power services into AI chip design and edge computing infrastructure, thereby strengthening its technology capabilities and building a comprehensive ecosystem encompassing computer infrastructure, AI chips and AI application solutions. This strategic expansion aligns with strong growth in the AI semiconductor, edge computing, and digital infrastructure sectors, driven by rising demand for low-latency, real-time AI solutions as well as supportive government policies promoting semiconductor innovation and digital infrastructure investment.

The Group has appointed Dr. Tang Tianshen as its chief strategic consultant to advise on the the strategic development and operations of the Group’s fintech-related businesses. Dr. Tang holds a doctorate in electronic engineering from Texas A&M University and possesses extensive expertise spanning academic research, advanced chip design, and executive leadership in the semiconductor industry. Dr. Tang has served in senior roles of various leading technology companies, including Intel, Shanghai Hua Hong and SMIC.

The Board considers that the transaction represents an opportunity to acquire immediate access to AI chip design capabilities, specialised technical talent, established technology assets, and growth opportunities in the AI industry. Compared with developing such capabilities internally, the Acquisition is expected to accelerate the Group’s entry into the AI semiconductor and edge computing sectors, shorten development time, and strengthen its competitive position in the evolving digital economy. In the long term, the Acquisition is expected to support the establishment of an ecosystem covering computing infrastructure, AI chips, and AI application solutions, creating sustainable growth drivers and delivering long-term value to shareholders.

John Lee, Head of International Markets, 10 CENTS CAPITAL.

How the capital will be deployed
The three new lines are AI business applications, global multilingual marketing and cross-border B2B trade. Part of the capital will build the technology and service base, including AI tools for customer research, marketing content and localisation, and the service model the business will run on. Another part will support cross-border B2B operations: research, information management and enquiry handling.

The remainder is set aside for market development, beginning with market entry in Brazil, the plan’s first market. Local operations there will be handled by its Brazil operating brand, VIVAMOMENTO.

Strategic rationale
Since 2022, 10 CENTS CAPITAL has backed companies across digital technology, e-commerce, consumer services and enterprise services. The three new lines extend that experience into businesses the company builds and runs itself, in areas it already knows well. Funding technology, service and market development together gives each line a complete foundation from the outset, instead of one assembled piece by piece.

“Completing this financing opens a new chapter for our company,” said 10 CENTS CAPITAL Director Peter LIEW. “We will deploy the capital with discipline, one stage at a time, so that each new business stands on a base strong enough to carry the next.”

Outlook
Deployment will proceed in phases, starting in Brazil, with further markets to follow as the new business develops. 10 CENTS CAPITAL will report progress at tencentscapital.com/news, and business and media enquiries are welcome via the contact page.
