KUALA LUMPUR, July 7 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Association for Advancement of Functional and Interdisciplinary Medicine (MAAFIM) held an "Updates for Doctors: Scientific Talk on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) – Does It Affect Our Public Health and Work Productivity?" Seminar and Press Conference at The Mines Beach Resort. The seminar brought together experts from medical and related fields from Malaysia and abroad to present discussions on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) and its related issues, all of which affect people’s health.
 
Due to technological advancements, people are being increasingly exposed to a complex mix of EMFs caused by 4G, 5G, GPS, Wi-Fi, smart homes devices, etc., which has a negative impact on users’ health. Many doctors see potential correlations between health problems and electromagnetic radiation. According to GSMA Intelligence, there are over 5.3 billion mobile smartphone users in the world today. Additionally, research has shown that the average productivity rate of employees has reduced to 2 hours and 53 minutes, which amounts to only 31% of their working hours.
 
As a vanguard association in Interdisciplinary Medicine, MAAFIM has made significant strides in merging the boundaries between conventional and complementary medicine with rigorous scientific evidence. Recognizing the pertinence of the EMFs’ issue on both health and productivity, MAAFIM took the lead in organizing the "Updates for Doctors: Scientific Talk on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) – Does It Affect Our Public Health and Work Productivity?" Seminar and Press Conference. As the inaugural event of the "Updates for Doctors" series for the 2023-2024 session, the seminar sets a high bar for future discussions, reiterating MAAFIM's commitment to addressing timely and important issues.
 
Reflecting on the event, Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew, said, "It is an honour to host such a ground-breaking event at The Mines Beach Resort. These discussions and discoveries are crucial to our understanding of how technology impacts our health and productivity. The exchange of ideas and knowledge aligns seamlessly with the ethos of Country Heights Holdings Berhad and GHHS Healthcare as we are actively establishing our own international medical hub. This event marks a significant step towards our goal of fostering a global community dedicated to elevating health and well-being through scientific advancement."
 
The event drew an audience of around 200 health professionals, including doctors, dentists, traditional complementary medicine (TCM) practitioners and nutritionists from Malaysia and abroad, and among them were notable speakers such as Dr. Amir Farid, a committee member of the Association of Integrative Medicine Malaysia (AIMM); Prof. Dr. Adlina Suleiman, the Deputy President of MAAFIM; and Mr. Juergen Seipel, the founder of VIVOBASE GmbH, Germany. Key figures who graced the event included MAAFIM's Patron, Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew.
 
Dr. Paramjit Kaur, the President of MAAFIM, stated "Our central aim with this seminar was to shed light on the potential influences of EMFs on health and work productivity. By fostering informed dialogue and sharing the latest scientific findings, we hope to equip both medical professionals and the general public with the knowledge they need to navigate the potential impacts of our rapidly evolving digital landscape."
 
Among the critical insights shared, the seminar spotlighted evidence-based strategies from functional and interdisciplinary medicine to promote holistic health and well-being, highlighting innovative solutions like the Vivobase GmbH product line designed to safeguard against EMF exposure.
 
The seminar also marks the official debut of Vivobase Malaysia, a German company that brings innovative EMF protection to the market. Founded by Mr. Juergen Seipel, an electrotechnical engineer with over 25 years of industry experience, Vivobase offers an assortment of products designed to curtail the impact of EMFs. Vivobase products use patented technology that is backed by several scientific double-blind studies inclusive of per-to-peer cross check, to generate protective shields that reduce EMF exposure from electrical devices in enclosed spaces, ensuring safety without compromising the functionality of electronic devices.
 
Mr. Juergen Seipel accentuated the importance of choosing products based on research-backed evidence, especially in a market proliferated by uncertified products. "We implore consumers to make informed choices, opting for research-based solutions like Vivobase that assure user safety without interfering with technological utility. Our mission is to offer the public a reliable and scientifically validated defence against the potential health risks posed by EMFs."
 
The successful convening of this seminar marks a promising start to the 2023-2024 "Updates for Doctors" series by MAAFIM and the growing interest in modern-day health issues resulting from technological advancement. Looking ahead, MAAFIM is determined to continue spreading public awareness within the medical community and fostering ongoing professional development.
