VNG Partners with Clinic to Develop Sports Rehabilitation Equipment
VNG Group’s hardware and robotics research unit signed a cooperation agreement with True Core Wellness clinic on November 11 to jointly develop equipment for sports science and physical rehabilitation. The partners plan to combine mechanical, electronic and AI technologies with clinical needs to explore smart hardware applications.
On November 11, VNG PT Lab, part of VNG Group, signed a cooperation agreement with True Core Wellness clinic (TCW) to jointly research, design and manufacture specialized equipment for sports science. The agreement marks an effort by VNG to expand its research and development from software into hardware and robotics.

Under the agreement, VNG PT Lab will handle mechanical, electronic and embedded software design, as well as applications of artificial intelligence and robotics. TCW’s doctors and experts will provide clinical requirements and practical data from patients and people who exercise to help the development team identify how the equipment needs to be used.
Lê Hồng Minh, founder of TCW and founder and chairman of VNG, said the partnership aims to make suitable exercise options more accessible to people with mobility limitations. He said some early products may appear simple but incorporate robotics and AI technologies. In the long term, he hopes to make the products available to people seeking to improve their mobility.
Alois Luong, head of VNG PT Lab, said exercise and physical training are the lab’s starting point for extending its research and development capabilities from software to physical devices. In June 2026, VNG announced its plan to build a Vietnamese digital ecosystem for the AI era. The partnership also marks its exploration of sports and health hardware beyond its existing digital businesses.
