About Us


ARISE’s distinctive niche is the implementation science of behaviour change for healthy ageing,  not discovering that lifestyle matters (that is established), but engineering how protective behaviours start, stick, and scale across the life course through technology, coaching and learning. Few ageing institutes anywhere can show this breadth of realised translation:


  • A commercial spin-off : ACTIMORI Pte Ltd (2026), commercialising our I-SING intergenerational exergaming platform, deployable across Singapore’s Active Ageing Centre network. It was a research project supported by A*STAR and other grants since 2010. 

  • A professional certificate : the SkillsFuture-approved NTU Professional Certificate in Essential Health Coaching, built on a decade of MOH-funded research.

  • Policy-grade tools:  an AI-driven skills-mobility platform for older workers (SSG-funded, five sectors) and an adult AI-literacy curriculum and policy paper (MOE Science of Learning, 2026).
This work is genuinely pan-University, mobilising researchers across NTU schools  and is backed by a track record of 51 research projects, and 22 technology disclosures and patents.
