【2020 Solutions】 Venture Capital Veteran Returns to Taiwan to Create the First Remote Medical Platform

Originally believing that Taiwan was not fertile ground for the development of remote medical services, Xu Keyu, founder and CEO of the Health Networking Information Company, was driven by goodwill to build a remote medical collaboration platform for rural areas. The easing of regulations and the isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic unexpectedly ignited the demand for remote medical care. 'The wind has risen,' Xu Keyu, standing at the cusp of opportunity, sailed the winds, developed the 'Immediate Doctor View APP' and marked a new milestone in Taiwan’s remote medical services.

Xu Keyu lived in the United States for 20 years and was deeply involved in venture capital, boasting over 30 years of high-tech investment and management experience in Greater China and Silicon Valley. Due to the vast geographic size of the U.S., accessing medical care is challenging, hence remote medical care is quite common, with home-care doctors conducting initial diagnostics and giving treatment advice over the phone.

From a charitable perspective, creating Taiwan's first remote medical platform

After retiring and returning to Taiwan, Xu Keyu participated in rural medical volunteer activities with the Rotary Club. Moved by the scarcity of medical resources in rural areas, where volunteer doctors pay for their own transportation and medication, and differ in time attendance, leading to repeated consultations and resource sharing issues. Therefore, Xu Keyu hopes to promote remote medical services by establishing a cooperative platform, starting from a 'charitable' perspective.

Health Network Information Company's 'Immediate Doctor View' platform offers a system free of charge for volunteer doctors, with features including video recording, video calls, registration, and medical records. Currently, over 200 doctors are stationed on the platform. According to Xu Keyu, there are two models of remote medical services. One is the Smart Hospital model, which is centered around hospitals primarily with the aim of treating diseases, incorporating clinics, pharmacies, cooperative medical labs, and even mobile device providers, with services provided to patients by the hospital integration.

The second model is patient-centered Internet medical treatment, where all medical-related facilities revolve around the patient. The ownership of medical data and records belongs to the patient, not the hospital. Doctors need authorization to access patient data, and patients can also revoke a doctor's authorization. This approach can revamp the physician-patient dynamic, shifting authority back to the patients, also forcing doctors to improve overall medical quality by eliminating weaker elements.

Immediate Doctor View

Statistically, there are 58 rural health stations and 15 island health stations across Taiwan, with only fixed visiting family physicians stationed. By using the system platform, only nurses need to operate retinal cameras and related portable diagnostic equipment to immediately get health reports. Once the doctor in the remote location detects an issue, they can quickly arrange referrals, allowing for early detection and treatment, which saves on medical costs and secures health.

Starting from a charitable initiative, providing a field for verification of innovative business models in healthcare, the loosening of regulations brings more possibilities for remote medical care, turning Taiwan, once considered a 'remote medical desert' by Xu Keyu, into a place showing signs of developmental dawn. In response to remote medical services, the Ministry of Health and Welfare officially issued the 'Telemedicine Treatment Measures' on May 11, 2018, relaxing the care targets and modes for remote medical care, which include follow-up for acute inpatients within three months, institutional residential long-term care residents with chronic prescriptions from a medical institution, integrated care related to family doctors, and foreign patients who are not covered by national health insurance but are planning to receive or have received treatment from local medical institutions, all of whom can benefit from remote medical services.

Remote medical services include health education, health promotion, disease prevention, and post-recovery treatments. To protect public health, the Ministry of Health and Welfare will promote the 'Health Passbook' in the second quarter of 2020, aimed at returning the autonomy of health care and medical record data to the public, aligning with Xu Keyu’s philosophy.

The 'Immediate Doctor View APP' primarily targets the B2B market, focusing on corporate employee care. According to a research report by the 104 Job Bank, each year over 100,000 managers resign to take care of elderly family members, causing corporate personnel turnover. If this platform is utilized effectively, through triple video conferencing and full recording, one can accompany their parents for a doctor visit while in the office, reducing the chance of managerial resignations.

Additionally, with the introduction of remote medical care benefits in enterprises, whether on assignment or business trips, personnel can receive timely medical consultation and care, enhancing the company’s ability to retain talent.

Moreover, hospitals or clinics can also create VIP groups through the system platform, providing exclusive home care for VIP clients with significant assets, or for patients with severe conditions, offering appropriate medical resources at all times, reducing costs for hospitals and ensuring better care for patients.

Technology drives remote medical services, with AI+IoT being crucial

Xu Keyu states that technology is the driving force behind Taiwan's remote medical services, with AI and IoT playing key roles. Here, 5G helps solve the fundamental network issues, and IoT devices collect personal physiological information including temperature, heart rate, pulse, and blood pressure. These devices, in conjunction with AI, identify potential issues and provide guidance, assisting doctors in making remote disease diagnoses and offering precise recommendations.

The Immediate Doctor View APP system includes four modules: 1. Communication module, including CTI features which automatically bring up client-related data such as medical history, personal information, and IP address upon phone connection; 2. HIS module; 3. Service support module; 4. Online payment module.

This system has been providing remote medical services to rural areas, expatriates, international students, and travelers abroad since April 2019. Now, whether in rural areas or overseas, during the day or at midnight, patients can immediately access professional medical consultations through the mobile video feature. Xu Keyu believes that the biggest challenge in entrepreneurship is to integrate various stakeholders in the overall ecosystem, including doctors, devices, and data. He has to devise methods and strategies to persuade everyone to join the platform, initially providing resources for free, and plans to adopt innovative business models in the future, charging listing fees, thereby fostering mutual benefits among doctors, patients, corporations, and device providers on the platform, and building a more robust environment for Taiwan's remote medical services.

【解決方案】瑕疵辨識率達百分百 耐銳利科技獲面板大廠青睞
Defect identification rate reaches 100%, Nairi Technology is favored by major panel manufacturers

On the machine tool production line, there are some slight differences in the first step of assembly Accumulated tolerances will cause the assembly work to be repeated, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in shipment delays that will impact the company's reputation Narili Technology Company focuses on the field of smart manufacturing and provides various AI solutions It uses machine learning models to inherit the experience of old masters In the CNC processing machine assembly and casting process, it uses AI to analyze production line data, accurately adjust various data, and improve Production accuracy is 25 This AI production line data analysis system is called "Master 40" by Huang Changding, chairman of Naruili Technology It is the most evolved version of the master plus artificial intelligence It has been used in machine tool processing factories with remarkable results In addition, Nairi Technology used AI defect detection technology to participate in the 2021 AI Rookie Selection Competition of the Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, assisting AUO in advanced panel image defect detection, with an accuracy rate of 100, and won the award Assisted panel manufacturer AUO to solve problems with 100 accuracy in defect detectionHuang Changding further explained that during the production of general panels, edges and corners are There may be defects in the corners Although the defects are visible to the naked eye, AOI is often difficult to identify, causing the detection error rate to often exceed 30 Therefore, re-inspection must be carried out with manpower to improve the accuracy rate However, in response to the demand for a small number of diverse products and insufficient manpower, using AI detection is indeed a good method Nairui Technology, founded in 2018, has been able to win the favor of major panel manufacturers with its AI technology in just three years In fact, it has been honed in the field of CNC machine tools for a long time Tang Guowei, general manager of Narili Technology, pointed out that the top three CNC machine tool factories in Taiwan hope to introduce AI into the two production lines of assembly and casting Among them, on the assembly line, in order to maintain the accuracy of assembly, every part of the component is designed Tolerances are designed During assembly, each component is within the tolerance However, the cumulative tolerance still fails the final quality inspection and must be dismantled and reassembled This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also causes waste "After entering the production line, I realized that some masters have accumulated a lot of experience and are good at adjustment After his adjustment, the accuracy rate has improved a lot and the speed is faster" On the contrary, the new engineers did not Based on experience, it takes a long time to adjust and may not pass the quality inspection The yield rate of Master 40 system has increased significantly from 70 to 95Tang Guowei then said that the original size data set by Master during assembly All were recorded on paper After the information was written, it was stored in the warehouse and sealed No one studied the relationship between the dimensions Narili assists customers in designing the Fu 40 system Through the human-machine panel, the master can directly input the measured dimensions and related data during assembly After collecting data from different masters, AI algorithms are used to analyze the relationship between the data and create an AI model The AI model automatically notifies the operator what size to adjust to, and the quality inspection will definitely pass In this way, the yield rate will be improved It has increased significantly from 70 to more than 95 Narili Technology Company focuses on the field of smart manufacturing and provides various AI solutionsTang Guowei added, assembling the spindle of a CNC processing machine It took four hours In the first step, the machine made measurement errors, including vibration, temperature, speed, etc that were out of range It had to be dismantled and reinstalled, which took another four hours How to adjust after disassembly depends on the experience of the master At first, the master may have done the best assembly method based on experience, but the error rate was also 30, and the assembly took several days With the assistance of AI masters, the assembly time only takes half a day, and the yield rate reaches over 95, saving a lot of time and manpower "Use the AI model of machine learning to collect the experience of all the masters and provide it for AI learning The first step is digitalization, and the second step is knowledgeization This is the transformation of the enterprise "An important key", Huang Changding believes that Narili Technology is an important partner in the transformation of traditional manufacturing from automated production to digital transformation In addition, another industry that Naili Technology focuses on is the smart car dispatching system of the leading brand of elevator manufacturers The so-called car dispatch referring to the elevator car means that if there are more than two elevators, group management is required In the past, car dispatching was based on fixed rules If the elevator was closer to the requested car, that elevator would be automatically dispatched On the one hand, it did not take into account that dispatching a car if the elevator was called too many times might make other people wait longer The previous vehicle dispatching model did not take into account the usage characteristics of the building, resulting in a lot of waste For example, in an office building, there are peak hours in the morning, lunch break, and afternoon after work AI smart car dispatch can be flexibly adjusted according to off-peak and peak hours, increasing the efficiency of car dispatch, reducing waiting time, and reducing wasted electricity Introducing elevator smart dispatch to improve transportation efficiency and have environmental protection functionsHuang Changding added that just like the previous traffic lights at intersections, the system has already The number of seconds to stop and pass on highways, sub-trunks and small streets is programmed Smart traffic lights are now used to flexibly adjust waiting times to make road sections prone to congestion smoother Using AI to learn usage scenarios and introducing a smart dispatch system into elevators will improve transportation efficiency and make it more environmentally friendly In addition to introducing smart elevator dispatching, Nairili also introduced AI into the smart production and shipment scheduling system of elevator factories Elevator factories often cannot accurately estimate the customer's elevator delivery date For example, office buildings or stores must be completed to a certain extent before the elevator can be installed on the construction site If affected by unexpected factors such as delays in the customer's construction period, the elevator factory will often be idle or the schedule will be difficult to arrange Tang Guowei pointed out that generally those who understand the progress of client projects may be from business or engineering, but overall, the accuracy rate of shipments is only about 60, which means that 40 of them will not be shipped as scheduled Therefore, if the shipping schedule can be accurately estimated, the production line can be freed up for emergency orders or other product production needs The AI smart scheduling system will analyze past shipment data, about 20-30 parameters such as climate, distance between the factory and the construction site, and customer credit, and put them into the AI algorithm to accurately predict whether shipments can be made as scheduled goods Huang Changding also specifically stated that the machine learning of Naili Technology is not ordinary machine learning, but also incorporates various calculation methods such as traditional image processing technology and statistics Only by being very familiar with the domain knowledge can we make good products AI models are also where the company’s competitiveness lies He emphasized that the data that general SaaS platforms can process is very limited, and the accuracy rate has increased from 70 to 75 at most Naili’s strength lies in AI algorithms and machine learning, and it must be coupled with in-depth industry knowledge to produce output Good AI model Narili Technology started with the AI project, gradually deepened the technology, chose to start with the more difficult tasks, and accumulated rules of thumb It is expected to develop SaaS services this year 2022, based on customer needs starting point, gradually gaining a foothold and becoming an important partner in smart manufacturing The picture left shows the general manager of Naruili Technology Tang Guowei and Chairman Huang Changding right「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date:2024-05-19」

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 center of a hospital in Kaohsiung, and provides the center's members who download the app with self-health measurement services In addition to health examination centers, the AI facial recognition health management service also cooperates with domestic TV manufacturers to develop customized Android TV apps and integrate them into Internet-connected TVs to provide health measurement detection

Having experienced small to medium-sized e-commerce, founders and CEO Zi-Hao Huang and co-founder and COO Yi-Ting Li of Tammy Technology decided to tackle the marketing challenges of all e-commerce personnel using AI technology Focusing on fashion e-commerce, Tammy Technology's personalized recommendation SaaS Software as a Service helps small to medium enterprises tackle the rising costs of marketing and the overwhelming data, enhancing conversion rates and average order value, becoming an invaluable AI assistant in the fashion e-commerce industry Enhancing conversion rates has always been a major challenge for all e-commerce platforms Unlike major players like Google and Facebook who collect browsing history to target interested messages or advertisements, smaller e-commerce businesses lack the resources and manpower to construct data analysis systems or tools Company Position Marketing technology team for small and medium-sized e-commerce utilizing AI to establish automated marketing Established in 2016, Tammy Technology initially aimed to become 'the marketing technology team for small to medium-sized e-commerce,' hoping to resolve challenges of low conversion rates and customer retention through data analysis and personalized recommendation services 'Daniel referring to Zi-Hao Huang and I have both worked in small to medium e-commerce I handled branding, marketing, and design, while he managed backend systems, project management, and development launches, almost everyone was multitasking' Understanding the pain points of e-commerce operators, they decided to help small and medium enterprises by developing automated marketing systems and a personalized recommendation SaaS, aiding those with limited marketing resources Through AI technology, analyze consumer purchase preferences and provide personalized recommendation services By analyzing each consumer's purchase preferences using AI technology and storing their digital footprints in the backend for data analysis, Tammy Technology stands apart from traditional recommendation systems that categorize customers They offer personalized product recommendations based on each individual's style preferences to achieve precise marketing objectives Yi-Ting Li emphasizes that Tammy Technology's personalized recommendation service has two main functions one is to make website personalized recommendations, and the second is to integrate with marketing channels such as email, SMS, and chatbots chatbot to send personalized promotional messages When consumers enter the official website, based on consumer profiles and preferences, different product recommendations can be provided on each page Individual products also have different recommendation systems on different website pages, providing each consumer with a unique shopping experience after entering the site Using deep learning AI technology, Tammy Technology analyzes consumer behaviors at various online shopping touchpoints through various devices, digitalizing all consumer behavioral data to build consumer profiles For example, a consumer with high purchasing frequency designated as VIP, whose preferences for Morandi color schemes, lace materials, high-neck styles, etc, are recorded and tagged When browsing the store's website, the website will recommend corresponding products based on these purchase preference tags for VIP, and can also set customized discounts and pop-up windows, or send personalized messages through mobile SMS, email, etc, ensuring each customer receives discounts that fit their needs At this stage, Tammy Technology's client base includes male and female apparel, shoes, accessories, cosmetics, and other fashion design industries with a strong personalized color Many clients have seen significant results after introducing personalized recommendation services For example, Shu Uemura under the L'Oreal Paris group, specializing in high-performance skin products and trendy makeup products and professional makeup tools, experienced a significant increase in conversion rates by 3 times and a revenue increase of 18 times after adopting Tammy Technology's service Additionally, the well-known apparel business iRoo, after installing a personalized recommendation system on the official website and integrating digital marketing channels like Line and Chatbot, saw the conversion rate rise more than 5 times, with a monthly revenue increase of 21 The pricing model is subscription-based, with large corporations being charged based on specific feature needs The overall effect after customer usage achieves at least a 3 times increase in conversion rate, and an average of 2 times growth in average order value New client base After apparel and cosmetics, pushing into the home decor industry Despite the overall increase in e-commerce sales, the personalized recommendation service has shown impressive results However, due to the pandemic, non-essential fashion industries have been impacted Tammy Technology, which primarily relies on the fashion design industry, saw a decrease in e-commerce performance by about 30 during the pandemic To diversify operational risks, starting from 2022, Tammy Technology expanded its service clientele to include distinctive, quality-type home furniture and living products As for why not expand the client base to 3C products Yi-Ting Li explains, 3C products focus on cost-effectiveness and brand strength, like Apple computers which have a loyal group of fans, making it challenging to sway their purchasing behavior However, apparel, cosmetics, and home decor focus on personalization, style, and taste, like apparel with the fast, short-term 'fast fashion' trends, updating products weekly, and seasonal characteristics, updating personalized recommendations every 3-5 days and cosmetics, including makeup and skincare, which have high customer loyalty and repurchase rates, are most suitable for recommendations and proactive discount messaging Makeup and outfits represent personal taste, thus these two industries can complement each other in personalized recommendations To accelerate the process of integrating businesses with personalized recommendations, it is necessary to establish an SOP,' Yi-Ting Li continued, 'Tammy Technology, by introducing recommendation services in the fashion design industry, has constructed a service process SOP to facilitate rapid successful experience replication, expecting to quickly integrate into the life and home industry in the second half of the year New business model Establishing a new marketing model centered on the consumer Currently, Tammy Technology's client number has exceeded 2000, including globally renowned fashion brands like L'Oreal and BLUE WAY The future focus will remain overseas, aiming for markets like Hong Kong, Singapore, and North America Tammy Technology, with its successful experience of integrating recommendation systems into fashion e-commerce, has gained investors' favor, securing investments from domestic and international accelerators in 2021, raising a total of 70 million New Taiwan dollars, allowing for workforce and scale expansion Future plans include integrating investor resources to establish a new marketing model centered on consumers Tammy Technology co-founder and COO Yi-Ting Li「Translated content is
