The National Metal and Materials Technology Center (MTEC), part of the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), asserted its leadership in health innovation by unveiling technologies tailored to modern needs at “Thailand Healthcare 2025: A Better Life – Well-being for Every Generation.” Organized by Matichon Group and its partners, the event was held from June 26–29, 2025, at Samyan Mitrtown. Now in its 17th year, it stands as Thailand’s premier health fair, renowned for its scale and impact.
Over the course of the four-day event, MTEC–NSTDA unveiled seven standout innovations aimed at driving proactive healthcare and improving the quality of life for all age groups in Thailand. Among the featured technologies, several key highlights captured significant interest from attendees, including:
- Rachel: Everyday Edition is a bodysuit crafted to support muscles, enhance balance, and lower injury risk, making it suitable for both seniors and working adults.
- Gunther–Janine: An innovative fall detection system integrated with a mobile application for real-time alerts.
- MediAlarm and ToiletSense – AI-enabled devices designed to monitor user behavior and identify irregularities in medication adherence and bathroom habits. They provide immediate notifications through LINE.
- Smart Wardrobe Purifier – A wardrobe and display cabinet integrated with the AutoFlow PuriTech System to purify air, thereby reducing PM2.5 particles, mold, and bacteria.
- ThaiSook Watch – A health monitoring device that synchronizes with the ThaiSook application to facilitate comprehensive lifestyle tracking.
