28/11/25 - Mind Your Business: Could digital therapy be Asia’s next big health opportunity?Across Southeast Asia, access to basic rehabilitation remains uneven, care is expensive, specialists are scarce, and long-term recovery often relies on patients managing alone.

The Breakfast Show speaks to Louis Payet, Founder of Peach Health Asia, about why the region is primed for evidence-based digital therapy, why he left a 15-year pharmaceutical career to build a more accessible model, and what entrepreneurs can learn from navigating regulation, trust, behaviour change, and commercialisation in one of the most complex sectors of the economy.
