Sharp Redefines Standard of Living with its Revolutionary Health and Wellness Solutions

The rise of interest in health and wellness worldwide is increasing rapidly due to the worldwide phenomenon of the pandemic. Consumers are currently focused and driven on staying at home or being able to work out from their living room.

Last year, Sharp Electronics (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (Sharp Malaysia) launched a slew of products for a better hybrid working mode and to help Malaysians to adapt to a post-pandemic lifestyle. The post-pandemic lifestyle has given an awareness towards the consumers to focus more on health, lifestyle and the environment. This year, Sharp Corporation is more attending to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Pledge and Digital Health for the corporate business direction. Sharp is also proceeding to be more detailed on sustainable growth, focusing more on providing fresh food, clean air, and pure water for consumers.

Robert Wu, the President and CEO of Sharp Corporation, said, ” Being a responsible multinational, Sharp is going to play an integral part of the modern economy by driving transformational change through ESG with clear and achievable goals. To ensure a more sustainable economy and a stronger, healthier workforce, we have adopted four pillars in our corporate ESG direction, which include Digital Healthcare, Net-zero Carbon Neutral, HITO management and Transition to a global company.”

“We believe ensuring a healthy lifestyle and promoting support for the environment are essential to sustainable development, and it causes a positive effect on almost every aspect of our lives. So, we have formed a new Digital Healthcare division to integrate technology to develop a new line of health and wellness products and solutions. We are committed to delivering innovations in the area of health and wellness that would help enhance the well-being of our customers, business partners and our employees,” Wu added.

Taking Fresh, Clean, Pure and Eco-friendly to the Next Level In the current new normal era, consumer demand for clean and hygienic environments is on the rise. Leveraging its proprietary Plasmacluster Ion (PCI) Technology, Sharp unveiled a new portable air purifier – Mobile Plasmacluster Ion Generator, to ensure consumers’ safety when conducting outdoor activities.

Sharp believes enough rest and good quality sleep are crucial to the wellbeing of individuals. With its Baby Sharp Air Purifier, Sharp offers a comfortable and relaxed environment during night-time sleep. With a warm night light and 3-step filtration system, consumers’ quality of life and rest is enhanced by providing a 360° purification around the sleep breathing zone. To further improve consumers’ quality of life, Sharp is also introducing its Aroma Diffuser for better wellness. It consists of 3 levels of lights and an auto-start function. The mist is produced by an ultrasonic transducer, which is able to generate oscillations that cause water to turn into tiny droplets, vaporising into fine mist.

Further than improving the quality of air, Sharp Malaysia heard the consumers’ demand for hygiene and convenience in having clean and purified water. With its 6-stage filtration system, the recent introduction of the Wall Mountable UV Water Purifier removes impurities and microbes, ensuring consumers with pure and fresh-tasting water every time.

Placing the safety of consumers top of mind, Sharp Malaysia is introducing a 100% natural and hygienic portable sanitiser maker, which its sodium hypochlorite water is able to disinfect and removes 99% of bacteria and virus in 1-minute. Additionally, to protect the environment while having peace of mind at the same time, creating an own sparking drink is one of the best options. Sharp introduced a soda maker, which tailored to create marinating meat, making muffins or cooking rice. It helps clean with sparkling water, washes dishes with air and water and lets the dirt be taken away with the bubbles. (Sharp 100% natural and hygienic portable sanitiser maker)
