【2022 Solutions】 Zcon Telehealth uses AI facial recognition to detect physiological data so that people can know everything about their own health

On a weekend morning, Grandma Li, who lives in Taipei, was happily having a video call with her little granddaughter in Tainan through the screen of an AI health management robot Then at 900 am, the foreign domestic helper's mobile app displayed a health management reminder sent by the robot, notifying that Grandma Li needed her daily physiological data measurement Grandma Li faces the camera on the robotrsquos screen, and the screen displays Grandma Li's blood pressure, blood oxygen, heart rate, heart rate variability, and stress index The robot detected that grandma's blood pressure was a little high, and a picture of blood pressure medicines immediately popped up on the screen to help the foreign domestic helper quickly find the medicines, making Grandma Li feel more at ease when taking medicine This AI telehealth care application is not futuristic, but rather the AI-enhanced comprehensive telehealth care solution of Zcon Telehealth, which has been established for 10 years, providing thoughtful companionship for the elderly through AI It can be used for non-contact physiological data measurement in the post-pandemic era, significantly cutting the labor cost of care in half Bobby Pan, the founder and president of Zcon Telehealth, which has accumulated abundant technical capabilities in the telecommunications and banking industries over 20 years, observed that the demand for telehealth care is an inevitable business opportunity, and decided to establish Zcon Telehealth in 2013 He worked hard with the core AI technology team to develop a comprehensive telehealth care solution Four years ago, he set the goal to develop an AI-based telehealth care platform, and returned to school to study in a doctoral program, focusing on the research of contactless detection of physiological data using AI facial recognition technology He successfully obtained an invention patent 2 years later Zcon Telehealth is the third company in the world after an Israeli company and Taiwan's National Chiao Tung University to provide technological and service innovations for AI facial recognition to detect physiological data, and successfully incorporated it into the company's telehealth care management platform As Taiwan becomes an aging society, demand on elderly care will increase and become more diverse In addition, the increase in demand on physiological data measurement due to COVID-19, coupled with the shortage of manpower in care institutions, has highlighted the importance of telehealth care solutions The market demand for telehealth care can be divided into three main service targets home, social residence, and institutions Telehealth care can provide real-time physiological data detection, and the data can be uploaded to the cloud for storage, effectively solving the problem of insufficient caretaking manpower Seeing that the demand for telehealth care is irreversible at home and in care institutions, Bobbdy Pan observed that telehealth care should have five major elements, namely precision care, precision medicine, precision diet, precision health supplement, and AI companion robot He looks forward to the five major elements effectively connecting Zcon Telehealth's healthcare products, and providing more considerate telehealth care services for senior citizens or institutions To this end, Zcon Telehealth uses AI technology to strengthen comprehensive telehealth care solutions The company's products are integrated into four major areas, including telehealth care management platform, tele-psychological consultation platform, AI health management robot, and physiological data detection technology using AI facial recognition AI facial recognition technology contactless physiological measurement

company is currently cooperating with 8 daycare centers affiliated to the Taiwan Rehabilitation Technological Association through the telehealth care management platform, which can significantly save 12 of the care labor cost, and has successfully provided 2,000 elderly people with general home care Regarding the tele-psychological counseling platform, Bobby Pan said that the company began to promote it in 2018, but online psychological counseling was not popular at that time Counseling centers only needed to use LINE or video platforms to provide services It was not until the COVID-19 pandemic in the past two years that caused people to go out less, which caused psychological counseling centers to lose a large number of customers Therefore, tele-psychological counseling platforms have become an important service channel for counseling centers to develop their customer base The tele-psychological counseling platform is provided to counseling centers in the form of an app Its functions include Google Meet video, online appointment, cash flow from payments, case management, account management, and emergency notification Counseling centers obtain a private account through Zcon Telehealth, and will be able to independently monitor the database management status of the counseling center, such as psychologist schedule management Zcon Telehealth thoughtfully provides the UberPsycho app service to clients After downloading the app, customers can locate and instantly match with the nearest counseling center and matching location to complete the search for a counseling center Customers can subsequently make an online video call or go to the counseling center to meet their counseling needs, breaking the limitations of space and meeting customers' needs for real-time consultation or spiritual companionship when they are emotional, truly achieving "Anywhere, Anytime, On-Demand Service" The product is an online psychological counseling platform that has been reviewed and approved by the Health Bureau and is compliant with regulations Counseling centers only need to apply online to start online counseling services, and do not need to worry about system setup At present, the tele-psychological counseling platform has successfully cooperated with 18 counseling offices in Taiwan Recognizing that AI companionship and housekeeping are important trends in

thermometer, blood glucose meter, cloud storage of physiological measurement data and abnormal data notification, remote video monitoring, caregiver work reminders, medication reminders, and physiological data functions based on AI facial recognition The AI health management robot is mainly targeted at families with foreign caregivers Employers can set work item and time reminders on the Zcon Telehealth Smart Care app, such as accompanying elders for a walk, elders taking medicine, or taking photos while the elders are in bed The robot's screen or voice playback reminds foreign caregivers of work items when caring for the elderly When the foreign caregivers finish their work, they must tap the complete button on the robot's screen to indicate that the task was completed The AI health management robot can help employers effectively remotely track whether foreign caregivers have completed daily elder care tasks as scheduled In addition, employers can have video conversations with their elders through the app and the screen of the AI health management robot The screen can also display pictures of medicine to reduce the risk of elderly people taking the wrong medicine Bobby Pan said that "zero contact" has become an important hygiene behavior in the post-pandemic era Combined with telehealth care, Zcon Telehealth has launched AI facial recognition technology to detect physiological data, which is different from typical wearable devices in the market, such as smart watches or bracelets that use photoplethysmography PPG for contact-based physiological detection Zcon Telehealth uses remote photoplethysmography RPPG for facial detection This method extracts signals from the tiny periodic color changes in light reflected from the skin caused by heartbeat RPPG can be roughly described as a modified version of reflective PPG, in which ambient light replaces LED and a camera lens replaces the photoelectric detector Physiological data detection technology based on AI facial recognition uses contactless measurement to detect changes in facial blood flow through images This technology can simultaneously integrate measurement of blood pressure, blood oxygen, heart rate, heart rate variability HRV, and stress index Users only need to face a regular webcam or mobile phone lens for 5 seconds, and reference data of the five physiological indicators can be detected and displayed within 30 seconds The data can be viewed in Android, iOS, or web version This product can achieve convenient self-health management and measurement functions for those who frequently travel abroad, workers such as security guards, service providers such as taxi drivers, or migrant workers, replacing the inconvenience of carrying various physiological measurement equipment in the past Zcon Telehealth is the third company in the world to provide physiological data detection technology based on AI facial recognition The company has successfully applied for an invention patent due to the innovation of this technology and services AI facial recognition health management has successfully cooperated with the health management

and ever-changing financial market On March 17, 2020, affected by the global spread of the new coronavirus pneumonia COVID-19, also known as Wuhan pneumonia, the US stock market continued to plummet after opening, triggering the third circuit breaker in the US stock market, which was also the fourth in history After the circuit breaker, investors in the securities market were in distress and could not even escape for their lives Before that, the financial management robot had suggested adjusting the proportion of stocks and bonds, reducing the proportion of high-risk stocks, increasing the proportion of relatively safe bonds, and adding high risk aversion Gold and other combinations enable investors to effectively reduce investment risks and losses Robotic financial management has two service models B2B and B2C The robot financial management service provided by Leading Information Technology Company provides investors with a stable financial management tool Peng Hansheng, co-founder and CEO of Leading Information Technology, said that Leading Information Technology currently provides two service models The first is the Taiwan B2B model, which is to cooperate with

financial management can not only significantly reduce the impact of human emotions, but also enable disciplined execution of every investment decision, more effective prediction of the market, and immediate response to its trends Robotic financial management targets retired people and focuses on medium and long-term investment Take the global stock market crash triggered by the impact of the new coronavirus as an example The original investment portfolio of the financial management robot had a stock and bond ratio of 7 to 3 respectively Shortly after the global stock market crash, it automatically reversed and adjusted to 3 to 7, that is, to increase the bond ratio Proportion, reduce the proportion of stocks to avoid high investment risks Peng Hansheng said that the financial management robot uses AI technology models to gather 18 important global market indicators and economic trend forecasts for the next 1-3 months It can provide reversal suggestions when the market is about to fall sharply and avoid high investment risks Therefore, in The losses were relatively minor amid a sharp decline in global stock markets However, relatively speaking, when global stock markets rose sharply in April, the growth rate of financial management robots was relatively small, which is suitable for steady financial investors who pursue long-term performance Peng Hansheng said that investor financial management through AI algorithms can overcome the investment mistakes that ordinary investors are easily affected by emotions, news or irrational selling At the same time, in the form of a basket investment portfolio, It can also effectively diversify risks and reduce investment losses Integrated learning concepts can achieve dynamic asset allocation effects return on investment The so-called "ensemble learning" solves a single prediction problem by building a combination of several models Its working principle is to build multiple classifiersmodels on the data set, each independently learn and make predictions, and these predictions are finally combined into a single prediction The predictions are therefore better than those made by any single classifier In addition, using an "unsupervised" training and learning method, also known as "Hierarchical Clustering", the system will automatically classify the investment targets within the target range every month, allowing the machine to learn Financial report information, value investment, and then improve operational performance The choice of robot financial management as an entrepreneurial theme is mainly related to Peng Hansheng's financial engineering background He graduated from the Department of Finance at Tsinghua University and later went to Columbia University to study financial mathematics After graduation, he entered Wall Street to engage in quantitative trading 2-3 year time Three years ago, after witnessing the sudden ups and downs of the stock market and investors' irrational pursuit of highs and lows, resulting in investment failures, Peng Hansheng decided to contribute what he had learned to Taiwanese society and founded Liding Information Technology Company, specializing in robot financial services It is hoped that through the new smart financial management method driven by AI, it can help investors avoid bad luck and manage their finances steadily The most difficult thing about promoting AI financial management is that according to statistics, when financial management robots make investment portfolio recommendations, up to 40 of investors do not follow them, unable to overcome human weaknesses, and the final result is a losing position getting bigger In addition, in the B2B robot financial management market, the business logic of banks and insurance industries is different from that of financial management robots For example, banks specialize in wealth management, and high-end customers usually prefer direct service from financial specialists and do not like to interact with machines Therefore, promotion in the banking industry is difficult In the future, bank financial professionals or securities traders will be targeted, making the financial management robot an investment advice auxiliary tool for financial professionals and stock traders Peng Hansheng, co-founder and CEO of Liding Information Technology 「Translated

【2020 Solutions】 AI cold chain transportation chain breakage warning system significantly reduces the loss of goods due to temperature loss

Farmers work hard in the fields to produce the freshest, nutritious and delicious crops Without a good cold chain transportation system, not only will farmers’ hard work go to waste, but agricultural enterprises will also suffer losses due to temperature loss and damage to refrigerated goods Loss has also become a major pain point The AI cold chain transportation chain break warning system can help reduce costs and improve the efficiency of fruit and vegetable transportation and preservation Zhongtian Technology, founded in 2017, is committed to using Internet of Things technology to develop smart agriculture In addition to winning many awards such as the Smart City Innovation Application Award, it has also assisted private institutions such as Xingnong Group and the Agricultural Experimental Institute in the construction of Smart agricultural software and hardware equipment Monitoring temperature throughout the cold chain must rely on AI technology to assist Chen Zhiming, chief consultant of Zhongtian Technology and a professor at the School of Information at Lingdong University of Science and Technology, said that Xingnong Group, which has more than 200 fertilizer supply centers across the country, and its Yumei Research Company have the most high-end greenhouses in Taiwan, and its products include crops such as beef tomatoes , supplying Formosa Steaks, McDonald's, COSTCO and five-star hotels, etc Yumei Research itself has 3 refrigerated trucks and 12 refrigerated rooms However, the transportation of vegetables, fruits, fresh food and other food needs to be kept in a low-temperature environment The ambient temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, position, and opening and closing of the transportation box during transportation need to be monitored in real time for owners to ensure Understanding whether the quality of refrigerated food storage and transportation is affected by temperature changes cannot be done through human monitoring and must rely on the assistance of AI technology Agriculture 40 simple APP operation interface At present, the general practice of cold chain equipment manufacturers is to place wireless temperature recording devices in refrigerated goods and transport them together to record whether the quality is affected by temperature changes during the entire transport process A small number of refrigerated trucks also use 4G networks to transmit The temperature information of the refrigerated space in the vehicle provides monitoring of temperature changes in the cold chain during movement However, the above two methods can only know whether the quality of the product is affected by temperature changes at the final arrival time, and cannot provide analysis and early warning for various conditions that may occur during product storage and transportation to ensure refrigeration Quality assurance and instant feedback of information during product delivery information Schematic diagram of cooperation between ICTIoT technology in agriculture Once the cargo status is abnormal or is about to occur, the AI system can immediately execute warning notifications, which can reduce the loss of broken links caused by environmental changes The overall cold chain monitoring scope extends from logistics and transportation to unloading, transshipment and storage, thereby building a complete cold chain monitoring system AI technology is introduced into the cold chain system, reducing product damage rate by 75 Chen Zhiming said that after the system is established, the proportion of refrigerated goods that are damaged due to temperature changes can be reduced by 75 At the same time, through AI intelligent judgment and statistical analysis algorithms, real-time information on each storage space, delivery vehicle and even pallets can be provided Usage status, it can provide intelligent scheduling and data analysis to increase the utilization rate of the overall cold chain system

is currently being planned by Guoxing Information, hoping to break the AI cold chain transportation chain The early warning system has been introduced into Fengkang supermarkets across the province, allowing consumers in metropolitan areas to enjoy better quality refrigerated fresh fruits, vegetables and food In addition to the AI cold chain transportation chain breakage warning system that solves the problem of freshness throughout the entire process "from the production area to the supermarket", agricultural enterprises also have a pain point In order to save electricity during the transportation process, outsourcing manufacturers may turn off the air conditioners on the vehicles In other words, during the 2-4 hour transportation process, the air conditioner may be turned on in the first half hour and the second half hour, and may be without air conditioning at other times In this situation, a Bluetooth data collector can also be installed in the pallet Temperature data is collected every five minutes to ensure that the goods are kept fresh throughout the transportation process Changes in refrigerated temperature trends Greenhouse temperature and humidity change trend chart Chen Zhiming said that Xingnong Group is Taiwan's leading agricultural enterprise Its subsidiary Guoxing Information can build a powerful AI expert system through knowledge in the agricultural field From greenhouses, logistics vehicles, warehouses, sub-warehouses to supermarkets, it can collect and collect data throughout the entire process Get refrigerated truck information For ordinary small farmers, resources are not abundant In the future, Zhongtian Technology will cooperate with Chunghwa Telecom to provide mobile APP promotion for a monthly fee to assist farmers in real-time

"Why does the music industry need AI What problems can AI solve" These are the questions Zeng Zhizhong, the founder and CEO of Anpu Artificial Intelligence Co, Ltd, continuously asks himself Since founding the company in 2018, Zeng Zhizhong has understood market positioning and customer needs clearly Anpu uses AI composition to seize the global environmental music broadcasting market With the system online for over a month, AI has created more than 10,000 pieces of music, serving clients across cafes, car showrooms, restaurants, and hair salons with a "legal, free" broadcasting solution, becoming the first choice for stores Zeng Zhizhong is a serial entrepreneur with a background in both the internet and music He has served as the general manager of Taihe Music Group, director of music services for Microsoft and Nokia in Asia Pacific, founded AR company Emitia Technologies and streaming company Tianlida Technology, and currently operates a company called Ouster Music specializing in film and television soundtracks With a dual background in technology and music, Zeng Zhizhong navigates AI music to solve copyright dilemmas With his sharp senses in technology and music, particularly amidst the ongoing AI boom, Zeng Zhizhong constantly contemplates how to turn AI composition into a profitable business He analyzes examples such as Spotify with 100 million paid subscribers in the USA, 1 million in Taiwan's KK BOX, and the mainland China's IPO-listed QQ Music, all operating at a loss The primary issue lies with these platforms not owning the copyrights to the music they provide, despite offering membership subscriptions They must also pay royalties to record companies and creators, leading to 'the bigger they are, the more they lose' Zeng Zhizhong, with his tech and music background, hopes to carve a niche for AI-generated music In the music industry, there are two main domains ambient music background music, BGM and pop music Pop music involves a lengthy production chain including lyric writing, composition, arrangement, singing, harmonizing, mixing, and finalization, entailing high costs and investment risks Meanwhile, ambient music, used in malls, department stores, cafes, and restaurants, traditionally sees copyrights held by music industry associations in various countries, making acquisitions costly and time-consuming However, producing music in-house circumvents copyright issues Thus, composing with AI and retaining copyrights internally becomes a key to success According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry IFPI report, global music market revenues in 2018 grew by 97 to 191 billion, up from 174 billion in 2017 Streaming music revenue alone reached 89 billion, accounting for 47 of the global total, nearly half Publicly broadcasted music accounted for 10-15, marking a significant portion of the market Recognizing the immense potential of the market, Zeng Zhizhong then assessed the technical capabilities of AI music, candidly stating, "AI is not a cure-all" For concert performances or chart-topping pop music, human lyricists and composers are necessary to achieve desired effects, while AI composition typically handles simple, uncomplicated melodies Assembling a large music database coupled with proprietary AI algorithms for rapid music production Anpu Music's AI composition system utilizes algorithms that include Markov chains, neural networks, deep learning methods, and combines the company's proprietary algorithm MDN Music Deeplearning Network, which conforms to unique musical algorithmic theories, thus breaking through traditional pop music structures and styles to create more market-aligned music compositions The database aggregates a large amount of sheet music data from top charted tracks and renowned songs globally, initially analyzing and summarizing the characteristics and melodies of popular quality music, then employing deep learning for efficient and excellent outcomes in AI composition BGMRADIO公播平台上集結上萬首AI音樂 Anpu provides a clear AI solution for the complex music copyright environment, with a material library owning a vast amount of clear-cut copyrights over 10,000 music tracks in 50 different styles, allowing users to freely choose suitable music to enjoy Anpu's current business model is twofold one provides a web-based platform offering 10,000 free AI-generated music tracks for online listening, and the other involves custom music services for a fee Additionally, responding to the promotional needs of the record industry and artists, it also charges for advertisement playbacks Another revenue model involves renting music players to users, charging an annual rental fee BGMRADIO公播平台與其他公播平台之比較 Zeng Zhizhong states, "Music knows no borders good music doesn't distinguish between being created by humans or AI" With current AI algorithms and related technology being quite mature, using AI to produce music is not a difficult task The key is identifying market pain points for business opportunities Anpu's market spans Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and it aims to continue expanding into China's largest market Having founded startups for 20 years in mainland China, Zeng Zhizhong's primary reason for starting a business back home is Taiwan's rich talent pool, especially the interdisciplinary talents Unlike typical AI or music companies, Anpu requires a large number of amphibious talents capable of both programming and music The company comprises two main departments the RampD department, mostly formed from graduates from NTHU and NCTU in electrical engineering, electronic engineering, and applied music, and the music production department, where after quick AI algorithmic composition in the RampD department, highly musically educated producers refine these AI compositions into high-quality music experiences 安譜團隊大多是科技與音樂兼具的跨域人才「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for
