Hong Kong Men Prioritise Tech Over Health, New Study Reveals

AXA Global Healthcare study highlights worrying gaps in how men prioritise their mental and physical health HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 July 2025 – Men in Hong Kong are significantly more likely to prioritise repairing a device or resolving a banking issue than seeking help for potential signs of serious illness, a new study reveals. The research, commissioned by AXA Global Healthcare, highlights a concerning pattern in how men respond to health issues – particularly when it comes to early action and preventative care. While almost all respondents (95%) said they would fix a broken laptop within a week, only a third (33%) would act as quickly if they noticed potential red flags in their own health – such as unexpected changes in weight, bowel habits or a suspicious mole. Even symptoms like unusual fatigue (just 27%) and high levels of stress (24%) failed to prompt swift action in many cases, despite being possible early signs of more serious conditions. In contrast, men in Hong Kong reported far greater urgency when dealing with money, work commitments or vehicles. An overwhelming majority said they’d act urgently if they lost their mobile phone (99%) or bank card (98%), while 96% said they’d prioritise responding to a text or call from their boss. Personal health concerns also took a back seat to pet welfare, with 72% saying they’d respond quickly if their pet seemed unwell. By comparison, only 64% said they’d see a health professional at all if something felt wrong. Instead, 45% said they’d consult the internet first, and around 10% would turn to AI or a health app for answers. James Swatton, Senior Distribution Leader – Asia, at AXA Global Healthcare, said: “It’s clear that for many men, computers, money and even work come before their own health. We urgently need to normalise a more proactive approach to wellbeing – not just wait for something to go wrong.” The survey of 272 Hong Kong men highlights a critical opportunity to shift behaviour towards more proactive health engagement. While only a minority trust digital health for diagnosis, 31% said they’d feel more confident acting on a health concern if a digital tool flagged it – suggesting potential for wearable devices, trackers, or smart alerts to help bridge the gap. To help make healthcare simpler and easier to access, AXA Global Healthcare recently launched a new all-in-one healthcare app that allows members to connect with qualified doctors anytime, by phone or video. Beyond consultations, the app supports users in managing their lifestyle by recording and tracking key physical and mental wellbeing metrics. These wellness trackers deliver insights that enable users to better understand their general health patterns and achieve personalised wellbeing goals. Swatton added: “Preventative health shouldn’t feel like an afterthought. By tracking physical and mental metrics, users can gain valuable insights that empower them to manage their lifestyle more proactively and work towards their wellbeing goals. Just as you’d regularly check your car or laptop to keep things running smoothly, building habits around your health can lead to better outcomes and greater peace of mind.” “For men living or working abroad, this is even more important. Navigating foreign healthcare systems can be confusing and stressful, especially when you’re dealing with an unfamiliar language, different medical practices, or insurance rules. Having quick, easy access to trusted healthcare – wherever you are in the world – can make all the difference.” Note to editors About the research Research was carried out online by Obsurvant. All surveys were conducted in May 2025. The samples comprised of 2,083 UK nationals, 512 UAE nationals and 272 Hong Kong nationals. All research conducted adheres to the UK Market Research Society (MRS) code of conduct (2023). Obsurvant is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office and complies with the DPA (2018).

Southeast Asia’s First Smart Battery Swapping Station Officially Launched: U Power Accelerates EV Ecosystem Across Three Continents

Hong Kong’s first station leads East Asia; Portugal and Peru mark U Power’s entry into Europe and South America PHUKET, THAILAND – EQS Newswire – 21 July 2025 – U Power Limited (Nasdaq: UCAR) and UNEX EV B.V. (hereinafter “UNEX EV”) today co-hosted the grand inauguration ceremony of Southeast Asia’s first smart battery swapping station for new energy vehicles, held in Phuket, Thailand. This station marks not only the first project launched by the joint venture between U Power and Thai energy conglomerate Susco, but also the first fully operational 24/7 smart battery swapping station in the entire Southeast Asia region. Notably, it is also the first such station globally—outside mainland China—designed specifically for electric taxis and ride-hailing fleets, signaling the scalability and global potential of this forward-looking battery swapping ecosystem for tens of millions of taxis and ride-hailing vehicles worldwide. The ceremony welcomed local government officials, executives from CP Group, SAIC-CP MG, Susco, and guests from Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Pitak Pruittisarikorn, Global CEO of UNEX EV, delivered a keynote speech on behalf of both organizers, themed “Smart Swap: Powering Southeast Asia’s EV Future”. He noted: “This first smart swapping station in Southeast Asia is powered by U Power’s proprietary UOTTA™ technology, integrating AI-based positioning and modular hardware to enable fully automated battery swaps in just minutes—bringing the vision of autonomous, intelligent mobility into reality.” Intelligent Infrastructure to Power the Robotaxi Era U Power’s Smart Swapping Solution Fills the Critical Gap in Autonomous EV Energy Replenishment The new smart swapping station in Phuket features U Power’s self-developed UOTTA™ battery swapping system, equipped with AI-assisted alignment, high-frequency operation capability, and standardized battery interfaces. The entire process takes only a few minutes and is fully unmanned, enabling seamless, efficient operations. The system supports multiple EV models and is pre-configured for future L4 autonomous driving vehicles, translating the concept of “unattended, automated battery replenishment” into an operational reality—meeting the ultra-fast energy needs of tomorrow’s intelligent transportation networks. This technology path aligns with global transportation transformation trends. From North America to Asia and the Middle East, leading countries and cities are accelerating the commercialization of autonomous ride-hailing (Robotaxi) services. In the U.S., cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, and Austin have launched paid Robotaxi operations, with expansion underway in New York, Atlanta, and beyond. Chinese AV companies have also scaled operations to tens of millions of service orders. Cities like Dubai plan to automate 25% of public transport by 2030. However, in high-frequency and time-sensitive mobility scenarios, traditional charging methods fall short of meeting the strict efficiency and uptime demands of Robotaxi fleets. In contrast, battery swapping—due to its speed, safety, and ability to operate autonomously—has emerged as the preferred energy solution. Thus, the main bottleneck to Robotaxi scale-up is no longer “driverless driving” but “driverless energy replenishment.” U Power is solving this critical challenge. By deploying its smart swapping station in Phuket, U Power provides current fleet operators with a safe, efficient, and cost-effective energy solution. Under its strategic framework—”Vehicle-Station-Cloud-Token”—U Power is building a nodal, intelligent, data-driven energy infrastructure network. This system enables deep integration between mobility energy and digital energy trading, paving the way for autonomous vehicles to scale and ushering in a fully automated and unmanned future for global smart mobility. Market Validation in Thailand: A Closed-Loop Ecosystem for Swappable Taxis High Praise from Industry and Local Operators In April 2025, U Power, together with UNEX EV and SAIC-CP MG, delivered its first batch of swappable EVs, which have since been operating as taxis and ride-hailing vehicles in Phuket. This marks the first real-world deployment of an intelligent battery swapping ecosystem in Thailand and Southeast Asia. The official launch of the Phuket station completes the ecosystem loop—from vehicle to swapping station to operational platform—and lays the foundation for a scalable, replicable business model. Among the first adopters is AUTO Drive, one of Thailand’s largest taxi and ride-hailing operators. CEO Mr. Akaranan shared at the ceremony: “The UOTTA™-enabled swappable EV fleet we deployed in Phuket has significantly improved operational efficiency. Battery swaps take just minutes, relieving power grid pressure during peak times and saving valuable time for both drivers and vehicles. This project serves as a pilot model for Thailand and ASEAN, offering a sustainable and unmanned energy solution for millions of urban mobility vehicles.” Mr.Woraphon, President of the Thai Taxi Association, also praised the solution after inspecting the station and test-driving the vehicles: “This UNEX EV-MG model is the best electric taxi I’ve seen in Thailand to date—spacious, comfortable, and cost-effective. More importantly, it helps drivers save time and money. We’re seriously considering this model when upgrading our 60,000-vehicle fleet to EVs in the future.” Regional Expansion in Southeast Asia and Beyond: U Power’s Global Battery Swapping Ecosystem Takes Shape Across Three Continents Thailand serves as a strategic entry point for U Power in Southeast Asia, with implications far beyond this first station. Back in March, U Power and Susco formed a joint venture to develop a national battery swapping network leveraging Susco’s nearly 1,000 gas stations across Thailand. The JV will deploy UOTTA™-based smart swapping infrastructure for taxis, ride-hailing fleets, buses, and logistics vehicles—supporting Thailand’s green transportation transformation. Building on Thailand’s success, U Power has launched its “ESP Model” in Singapore. Over the next three years, the ESP program aims to deploy 5,000 swappable EVs and a corresponding number of UOTTA™ stations, while converting 300 existing MG EP taxis into swappable versions. With Thailand and Singapore as hubs, U Power is rapidly extending its network across Indonesia and Malaysia. Meanwhile, the company’s global ambitions are taking shape: In Hong Kong, the first UOTTA™ smart swapping station opened in June in Kwai Chung, with a three-phase plan to build 55 stations to serve taxis, buses, and even ferries. In Europe, U Power partnered with Portugal’s Taxi Association to launch the joint venture ELMO. At the ANTRAL 50th anniversary event, ELMO also revealed it is in talks with energy giant Galp to establish swapping stations. In South America,

Tokenize Xchange To Leave Singapore Following MAS License Denial

Cryptocurrency exchange Tokenize Xchange will cease its operations in Singapore by the end of September, following the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) rejection of its application for a digital payment token license, according to The Business Times. The platform had been operating under a temporary exemption while awaiting regulatory approval. With the license bid now denied, Tokenize will shut down its Singapore entity and lay off all 15 locally based staff. Some may be offered roles in the company’s overseas offices. MAS recently proposed tighter regulations for digital token service providers, raising compliance standards for industry players. In response to the setback, Tokenize will shift its base of operations to Labuan, Malaysia’s offshore financial centre, and is in the process of acquiring a licensed entity regulated by the Labuan Financial Services Authority, with the move expected to be completed by 30 September. The exchange is also exploring expansion into the Middle East, with plans to obtain regulatory approval from Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), a key financial hub in the UAE. Founder and CEO Hong Qi Yu described the transition as an opportunity to strengthen the company’s international presence and consolidate its operations outside of Singapore. The withdrawal comes just over a year after Tokenize raised US$11.5 million in funding and announced plans to expand its Singapore team to 100 people. At the time, the company was positioning itself to better navigate Southeast Asia’s varied regulatory environment. Founded in 2017, Tokenize Xchange offers digital asset trading services to both retail and institutional clients in Malaysia and Vietnam.

WeRide Rolls Out Southeast Asia’s First Driverless Bus Service In Singapore

Chinese autonomous driving tech company WeRide has officially launched Southeast Asia’s first fully driverless bus service in Singapore, operating without a safety officer on board. The Robobus now runs on a fixed 1.2km route every 12 minutes, linking three hotels with The Galleria shopping mall on Sentosa Island. The bus is equipped with 360-degree sensors and can detect obstacles over 200 metres away, WeRide said in a statement on Thursday. This launch comes after a successful year-long trial that began in June 2024, during which the vehicle carried tens of thousands of passengers safely under the supervision of onboard safety operators. “All autonomous vehicle operators must first pass strict safety assessments before being allowed to remove human safety personnel from the vehicles,” said Lam Wee Shann, Deputy CEO and Chief Technology Officer at Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA). Once these requirements are met, companies may transition to remote monitoring systems. The interior of WeRide’s fully driverless Robobus in Singapore. WeRide’s Chief Financial Officer and Head of International Business, Jennifer Li, said the service rollout demonstrates that its technology is ready for large-scale deployment in public transport systems. The announcement boosted WeRide’s stock, which rose 5.5% to close at US$9.26 on the Nasdaq on Thursday. Headquartered in Guangzhou, WeRide operates an R&D center in Singapore. It first introduced autonomous street-sweeping vehicles to the city-state in November, expanding operations to Jurong Lake Gardens by March. WeRide has secured testing approvals in five countries — China, the U.S., Singapore, France, and the UAE. In January, the company began testing driverless cars in Switzerland through a partnership with national railway operator SBB. That followed the launch of Europe’s first commercial autonomous minibus service at Zurich airport. Founder and CEO Tony Han previously said WeRide is focusing on Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Japan, and South Korea to grow its international presence and boost innovation. WeRide’s growing footprint abroad signals increasing global recognition of Chinese autonomous vehicle technologies. Other Chinese AV leaders such as Baidu and Pony.ai have also expanded overseas, with both partnering with Uber to test robotaxis in the Middle East.
