Themed “Embracing Longevity: Asia’s Priority, The World’s Opportunity,” the event brought together global leaders in ageing and longevity to exchange insights and explore forward-looking solutions.

At this international platform, idsMED Singapore showcased a range of innovative solutions supporting successful ageing across active ageing, healthcare, technology, rehabilitation, and wellbeing, alongside other leading industry participants.

A diverse portfolio of products was presented at the idsMED booth, including medical consumables and ward furniture designed to support active ageing. The Intermediate and Long-Term Care (ILTC) and Clinical Specialist teams, together with brand representatives, engaged visitors throughout the two-day event, providing product demonstrations and sharing clinical insights.
