Robotimize Advisor Zen Koh Featured on Global Podcast Highlighting the Future of Exoskeletons in Rehabilitation Tech

Zen Koh shares insights on scaling exoskeleton adoption, ecosystem collaboration, and human-first innovation in global rehab tech podcast.

SINGAPORE, August 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Robotimize is proud to share that our Strategic Advisor, Zen Koh, has been prominently featured on Episode 17 of the Exoskeletons and Wearable Robotics Podcast, hosted by Dr. Thomas Sugar (WearRA) and Bobby Marinov (Exoskeleton Report). The episode, titled “From Cool Gadget to ‘Must-Have’: Zen Koh on Making Exoskeletons Mainstream,” explores the transformative journey of rehabilitation robotics and the evolving role of wearable technologies in healthcare.

As a global pioneer in rehabilitation robotics, Zen KOH has played a transformative role in advancing the field of intelligent neurorehabilitation technologies worldwide. He is the Founder and Executive Director of MotusAcademy, a globally recognised platform dedicated to education, collaboration, and translational adoption of rehabilitation and assistive technologies. He is also the Managing Editor and Editorial Board Member of the Journal of Rehabilitation Methods and Technologies (JRMT). Zen also serves as Ambassador of the International Industry Society in Advanced Rehabilitation Technology (IISART), where he actively promotes global standards, ethical deployment, and interdisciplinary cooperation in rehabilitation robotics. Additionally, Zen holds leadership roles as Strategic Industry Advsior with KITE Research Institute at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, part of University Health Network (UHN), contributing to translational research and innovation strategies in neurotechnology.

With decades of experience bridging the gaps between clinical need, technological innovation, and commercial viability, Zen brings unique insights into how wearable robotics can transition from promising prototypes to scalable, clinically validated solutions. In this podcast episode, he reflects on the importance of inclusive stakeholder engagement—spanning patients, clinicians, engineers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers—in shaping a human-first innovation ecosystem. His commentary underscores not only the strategic imperatives for sustainable business models in exoskeletons, but also the broader vision of how collaborative, evidence-based innovation can make these technologies mainstream in global healthcare.

Key themes explored in the episode include:
✅ Transitioning exoskeletons from niche tech to essential rehabilitation tools
✅ Educating and empowering clinicians, engineers, patients, and policymakers
✅ Building scalable ecosystems through neutral platforms like MotusAcademy
✅ The critical role of RehabWeek 2025 in driving multi-stakeholder engagement
✅ Market education as the catalyst for long-term growth and clinical adoption

Listeners will find Zen’s candid reflections and strategic perspectives both inspiring and actionable—particularly in a field where collaboration, clinical validation, and long-term vision are essential to success.
