BREGO Life Sciences Launches “BREGO Cares 2026” to Bring AI-Powered Bone Health Screening to Malaysian Clinics

on

In recognition of Osteoporosis Awareness Month, BREGO Life Sciences has officially announced the launch of BREGO Cares 2026: Stronger Bones, Better Health – a community-focused bone health screening initiative designed to make early risk assessment more accessible to Malaysians.

The program will run from May through June 2026, leveraging the rollout of VeriOsteo OP, an AI-assisted bone mineral density screening software. Instead of requiring patients to visit major hospitals, BREGO Cares brings this technology directly to primary care clinics where Malaysians already seek routine treatment.

Why This Initiative Matters

Osteoporosis is often called a “silent disease” because bone loss progresses without symptoms until a fracture occurs. Globally, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 are at risk of osteoporotic fractures in their lifetime.

While DEXA scans remain the gold standard for diagnosis, these services in Malaysia are still largely concentrated in major hospitals and specialist centers. A local survey of primary care physicians found that only 27.7% actively practiced osteoporosis screening, with 90.6% citing limited access to bone mineral densitometry as a key barrier.

BREGO Cares responds directly to this gap by using AI-assisted screening on existing X-ray equipment in clinics. This approach reduces the need for specialist referrals and separate appointments, making preventive bone health checks more feasible within routine care.

Voices from the Field

“In primary care, we often only discover bone health issues after a fall or fracture,” said Dr. Tan Cheng Lu, General Practitioner at O2 Klinik Sri Petaling. “If we can make screening more accessible at the clinic level, we can start the conversation earlier and guide patients on what to do next, before serious complications happen.”

Danny Wong, Founder of BREGO Life Sciences, shared:

“BREGO Cares is our commitment to improving access to preventive healthcare through innovative and accessible solutions, especially where early screening gaps still exist. For bone health, the challenge has never been awareness alone—it has been access. This initiative is designed to close that gap.”
