Raw Description
Our Beliefs | We believe the MSK markets in Asia need an innovative disruption in MSK care. The current MSK care-giver to total population ratio in China and ASEAN markets is more than 10 times lower than in the US market. With an aging population, China is facing a steep challenge in improving the efficiency of its existing MSK care system. In most ASEAN markets, there is a rapidly growing demand for more advanced MSK care services with a rising population and GDP per capita. | We believe the existing model of relying solely on physical clinic visits for patient care is not a sustainable way to meet the sharply growing demand. We believe that Asian people deserve a more affordable and easily accessible MSK care solution to help manage their pain. We believe our technology can disrupt the current paradigm and provide relief from pain to more people in Asia. | Product | Raphai has developed skeletal-sensing technology that enables real-time monitoring of Musculoskeletal (MSK) Medicine Exercise-Prescription (ExRx) and patient interaction. This cloud-based solution can help MSK caregivers evolve into a highly interactive 'phygital' caregiver and patient journey, thereby improving recovery time. The overall healthcare system can enhance MSK care accessibility at a lower cost. | Technology | Raphai offers an end-to-end SaaS suite of apps that enables MSK caregivers to adopt the 'Phy-gital' patient journey. The full version of the service is available to all licensed medical caregivers in HKSAR and China. || Founded in August 2023 by Mr. Oscar Wong and Mr. Terry Li, Oscar, an engineering expert, has been working in AI-assisted skeletal sensing technology since 2016 and managed an R&D team based in the Greater Bay Area (GBA). Terry, with over 30 years of banking and insurance executive experience, has worked in various Asian markets, including Vietnam, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Indonesia. Both Oscar and Terry are EMBA graduates from Ivey Business School, Western University, Canada. | Description | Raphai Health Technologies Ltd is a 100% Hong Kong-based company. Our strategic priority is to enable both the public and private musculoskeletal (MSK) care sectors in the HKSAR to become the most AI-adopted market and serve as the hub for ASEAN market expansion through collaboration with the local market Third-Party-Administrator (TPA) network.

Strategic Analysis

Executive Brief

Raphai Health Technologies is a digital health innovator focused on Musculoskeletal (MSK) care. They utilize AI-assisted skeletal-sensing technology and a "phygital" (physical + digital) SaaS platform to provide real-time monitoring of Exercise-Prescription (ExRx). Their primary goal is to bridge the massive gap in MSK caregiver-to-patient ratios in China and the ASEAN region through scalable, cloud-based monitoring solutions.

Strategic Fit & Lead Score

Lead Score: 48 (General Research / Engineering)

Why this Score? Raphai is currently focused on the software and AI layers of skeletal sensing (likely computer vision or standard IMU sensors). However, as they scale into "phygital" hardware—specifically wearables for bio-sensing, muscle fatigue monitoring, or high-performance edge computing for AI—the physical limitations of sensors (biocompatibility, signal-to-noise ratio, and thermal throttling) will become bottlenecks. 6C enters as a partner for their next-generation hardware evolution.

6C Solutions Proposal

Application Area 6C Solution Technical Value Prop
Wearable Bio-Sensing BDD (Boron Doped Diamond) Electrodes BDD provides an extremely wide electrochemical potential window and low capacitive background current. This allows for high-sensitivity detection of biomarkers (e.g., lactate or cortisol in sweat) to monitor physical recovery during MSK exercises with zero sensor corrosion.
Edge AI Thermal Mgmt PCD (Polycrystalline) Heat Spreaders If Raphai develops proprietary high-speed skeletal tracking hardware, thermal management of AI processing chips is critical. PCD diamond (thermal conductivity >1800 W/mK) prevents thermal throttling in compact, fanless wearable form factors.
Prosthetic/Orthotic Wear Custom Diamond Coating For Raphai's MSK interventions involving physical braces or joint supports, 6C can provide low-friction, biocompatible diamond coatings to prevent material wear and skin irritation at pivot points.
Optical Sensing Windows Optical Grade PCD/SCD If their skeletal sensing utilizes IR or laser-based depth tracking, diamond windows provide unmatched durability (Mohs 10) and wide-spectrum transparency, ensuring sensors remain calibrated in harsh, everyday environments.

Engagement Hooks

  • Technical Question: "As you scale your AI skeletal-sensing tech into deeper clinical diagnostics, how are you addressing the signal degradation and 'noise' inherent in traditional metal-based wearable electrodes during long-term patient monitoring?"
  • Value Statement: "6C can help Raphai transition from standard motion tracking to high-fidelity 'Bio-Sensing' by integrating Boron-Doped Diamond sensors that offer medical-grade precision and lifetime durability for MSK recovery tracking."
