Zen Koh

MedTech & Medical Robotics Executive in Singapore

I build and scale MedTech, medical robotics and healthcare technology businesses across Asia and international markets, with a particular focus on turning promising technologies into products that clinicians use, healthcare systems adopt and companies can scale.

Over more than two decades, I have worked across rehabilitation technology, robotics and healthcare innovation from engineering and research through commercialisation, international expansion and executive leadership.

I was Co-Founder and Global CEO of Fourier Intelligence, where I helped build its rehabilitation robotics business from China into an international operation, developing its global commercial footprint, clinical and research partnerships and broader robotics portfolio. During this period, Fourier completed major growth rounds backed by investors including SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and Saudi Aramco-backed Prosperity7 Ventures.

Earlier, I led Hocoma’s Asia-Pacific business, scaling advanced rehabilitation technologies across the region. Working first with a European MedTech company expanding into Asia and later with a Chinese robotics company expanding globally has given me an unusual perspective on building healthcare businesses across cultures, regulatory systems and markets.

Today I am Founder & CEO of MotusAcademy, a global rehabilitation-technology ecosystem connecting clinicians, researchers, industry, healthcare organisations and innovators. I also serve as Strategic Industry Advisor and Entrepreneur-in-Residence at the KITE Research Institute, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, University Health Network, where I support commercialisation, venture creation and international industry collaboration.

I am Founder, President & CEO of NovaKonexus™, focused on translating rehabilitation and neurotechnology innovation towards commercialisation, and Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Prosperous Robotics, which is developing Physical AI-enabled approaches to rehabilitation and independent living.

Alongside my industry work, I am Managing Editor of the Journal of Rehabilitation Methods and Technologies, Ambassador and Immediate Past President of IISART, and a Board Member of CYBATHLON.

My work increasingly focuses on Healthcare Physical AI — the convergence of robotics, AI, sensing, human-machine interaction and clinical intelligence. But technology itself is not the objective. The harder problem is adoption: evidence, workflow, regulation, reimbursement, economics and the ability to move successfully from pilot to routine use.

I believe the future of healthcare technology will be shaped not by the most impressive prototype, but by the technologies that can demonstrate meaningful human value and earn the right to scale.
