Dr Warangkhana Phanwanich

Dr Warangkhana Phanwanich, CEO of Petaneer and AquaTrek Solution, is empowering smarter recovery and compassionate care through inclusive hydrotherapy innovation, helping humans and animals to move beyond health towards vitality and improved quality of life. Hydrotherapy offers a safe, pain-free solution, as water buoyancy reduces joint impact and supports controlled movement. By developing a more affordable system and an accessible service model, we can promote preventive exercise, strengthen mobility, enhance quality of life, and reduce long-term healthcare costs.

The company's Smart Hydrotherapy System combines adjustable water levels, jet and slope adjustment, and temperature control to create a personalised, low-impact environment for both rehabilitation and exercise in humans and animals. The company is currently developing an AI-supported analytics platform to further enhance this personalisation. By leveraging water’s buoyancy to reduce joint stress and guide controlled movement, it offers a novel preventive-health approach where safe exercise is more effective than treatment. The system improves mobility, reduces injury risk, and provides an accessible, data-informed ecosystem for long-term wellness.

Petaneer and AquaTrek Solution have deployed smart hydrotherapy systems across Thailand, with exports to six Southeast Asian countries. The companies operate wellness centres under the Petarium and Aqua Health brands, supported by a multidisciplinary team of engineers, veterinarians, medical professionals, and physiotherapists. With growing demand driven by ageing populations, the organisation is scaling through franchise and B2B partnerships, while pursuing international certifications, patent filings, and expansion into global markets.
