【2021 Solutions】 To prevent the blockage of traditional markets or amusement parks from becoming a breach of the epidemic, Taiwan’s Data Science “Signal Cloud” antenna has made a remarkable contribution

The COVID-19 epidemic is raging, and local governments are actively preventing the spread of the epidemic. The Yunlin County Government uses the "People Flow Analysis Antenna" in the "Signal Cloud" to detect device signals, and uses AI algorithm models to estimate Actual flow of people to prevent blocking traditional markets and busy business districts from becoming a breach of the epidemic; the Taipei City Government has deployed antennas in Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, Municipal Zoo, Municipal Art Museum, Maokong Cable Car and Taipei Underground Street, and cooperated with Taipei Smart City The project office worked together, and the man behind the establishment of these systems was Taiwan Data Science Corporation.

▲Use the "People Flow Analysis Antenna" in "Signal Cloud" to detect market clustering conditions.

"From the first day the company was founded, I have been thinking about how the technology I learned can contribute to mankind, even a little bit!" Dr. Zhuo Yingqiang, CEO of Taiwan Data Science Company, gave up the stable national University faculty work, relying on enthusiasm for science and technology and hope for the future innovation era, with the original intention of making the world a better place, and joining the ranks of entrepreneurship. This century-old epidemic has changed the daily pattern of the world, and also allowed Zhuo Yingqiang to find the focus and contribution of scientific and technological epidemic prevention.

People flow information flow analysis antenna to master signal detection big data

The "People Flow Information Flow Analysis Antenna" developed by Taiwan Data Science Company was designed with the motivation of smart retail. Its equipment principle is to use antennas to detect devices carrying Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals in the field, such as: Mobile phones, tablets, laptops, iWatch, Bluetooth headsets, etc. The "People Flow Information Flow Analysis Antenna" can clearly identify data such as people flow, walking lines and habits in the area, analyze the flow of people at each time, and help stores or vending machines grasp people flow statistics, analyze hot areas, and use big data at the same time Coupled with the marketing data reports generated by AI, stores can more accurately control the flow of people, which is of great help in terms of pre-prepared quantities and accurate sales estimates.

The development areas of Taiwan Data Science Company are locked in smart retail, transportation, security and financial industries, and are developing towards the fields of smart Internet of Things (AIoT) and information security. "Taiwan Information Technology has the patent for signal antennas, but making antennas and collecting data is only one of them. Producing valuable data analysis reports is more important. This is what buyers care about." Zhuo Yingqiang pointed out that there are major Netcom manufacturers who are optimistic about it. Taiwan Information Technology’s technology originally wanted to purchase related patents and invest in this market. But in fact, it is not difficult to deploy antennas. What is difficult is that after the data is collected, a strong AI team must be behind the cloud to do analysis. The major Netcom manufacturer finally proposed a strategic alliance with Taiwan Information Technology. The major Netcom manufacturer will produce the hardware device of the signal antenna, which can significantly reduce the cost by about 60%. Taiwan Information Technology will be responsible for producing data analysis reports, and the AIoT software and hardware integration of the cooperation between the two parties will be reduced by about 60%. The solution is to attack overseas markets together.

▲ "Signal Cloud" is not only used to calculate people flow, but can also be used in the fields of security and information security.

"Signal Cloud" is not only used to calculate people flow, but can also span into the fields of security and information security. Zhuo Yingqiang pointed out that in the security industry, surveillance systems generally use video cameras. If Xiaoxiao avoids the camera, it may not be detected. However, if the antenna is deployed in a corner of the house, as long as the signal antenna detects abnormal Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals, it will immediately send a warning to the security company to take further preventive measures.

The signal antenna system proactively reports to reduce the risk of bank personal information leakage

In the field of information security in the financial industry, cases of bank personal information leakage resulting in deposit theft are common. Why do similar cases occur? Mainly for fraud groups or unscrupulous elements to use wireless network IDs that are the same as those of banks to provide free Internet services in or near the bank lobby, so that customers can undoubtedly connect to them and conduct online transactions. At this time, criminal groups collect customer account numbers, etc. Personal data, a major information security incident that caused a large amount of customer information to be leaked. In Taiwan Information Technology's solution, as long as a signal antenna is installed in the bank's business hall, if the antenna receives an abnormal account or device, it will proactively notify the bank's monitoring center, immediately take action to block the firewall, and blacklist the signal. , we can prevent the occurrence of data leakage.

▲ Taiwan Information Technology participated in the "President Cup Hackathon Competition" and advanced to the top 20 national finals. President Tsai Ing-wen (in the picture) specially communicated with the team.

In fact, this signal antenna, which Dr. Zhuo calls an "information flow antenna", can not only be placed in financial holding and bank business premises, but can also be deployed in military sites such as camps and national defense units as access control, Information security and security functions. After the COVID-19 epidemic, during the level 3 alert period, because she did not want her employees to be involved in the risk of contracting the epidemic, Zhuo Yingqiang could not bear to send her colleagues to carry out construction work even if the hospital had a demand for abortion monitoring. However, the sharp drop in revenue also made Zhuo Ying Gun realized that the market cannot be limited to Taiwan, so he actively looked for strategic partners to export the "Signal Cloud Antenna" solution overseas.

Taiwan Information Technology's overseas development strategy is to follow the footsteps of Taiwan's major Netcom manufacturers. After the service is implemented, it will be handed over to SI operators in local countries to perform installation and subsequent after-sales maintenance work. As mobile devices become smaller and lighter, Taiwan Information Technology predicts that within three years, the signal antenna will be "chip-based". It can not only be directly embedded in POS machines, but can also be placed in consumer electronic equipment and shipped together. These are the future development directions. Taiwan Data Science Company has been established for almost four years this year. In the past, it has been engaged in the field of data processing, from cashless big data for mobile payments to wireless signal big data for people flow analysis. As an AI start-up company, the number of colleagues is slowly approaching the 200-person mark, which is rare in Taiwan's start-up world.

Taiwan Information Technology's motto is "From SI to AI, from physical to wireless!" Taiwan Information Technology's antenna people flow detection technology leads the market for about 12-18 months, but Dr. Zhuo believes that we must continue to expand our lead. Advantages must be achieved through patent layout and world-class channels. As a former university professor, he is leading the company's team to patent "judging different field characteristics through various signals" and using his past expertise in the field of cashless payments to write some cross-field compound patents to "cashless payment". " and "wireless" are integrated together to create thresholds that are more difficult for newcomers to catch up with.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs assisted Taiwan Information Technology Co., Ltd. to shoot a promotional video for the "Signal Cloud Antenna" free of charge, and provided free guidance on entering the Japanese and American markets. All colleagues at Taiwan Information Technology Technology Co., Ltd. are very grateful for this matter. The Taiwan Information Technology Department has recently been obliged to work hard to contribute to the country's scientific and technological epidemic prevention. It is currently handling the access control system project of the Ministry of National Defense, the technology monitoring project of the Ministry of Justice, and the relief data processing project of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. For Zhuo Yingqiang, these things are able to use business wisdom and technology to make a small contribution to the small imperfections of human life, and this is also his greatest achievement and motivation since starting his business.

Neuron Technology, moving and observing, starting with the eyes, the best smart medical assistant

Looking around the world and in Taiwan, the number of patients suffering from vertigo is increasing year by year When faced with vertigo testing, most people will choose to have it diagnosed by a doctor or hospitalized with neuromedical imaging tools such as MRI or CT for interpretation However, this may lead to misdiagnosis of vertigo, overdiagnosis of patients, waste of medical resources, etc, and cannot be effectively traced back The actual condition of the patient's dizziness In order to solve the long-term clinical pain point of vertigo, Neurobit has developed a smart wearable medical device - NeuroSpeed smart glasses and an AI assistance system It provides an AI smart solution for rapid screening of vertigo, assisting doctors in quickly screening more than 80 of brain diseases Efficient detection power with accuracy and sensitivity of over 90 Neuron Technology was founded in 2016 The co-founders include Yang Juncheng, Chen Weicheng, Huang Jinxun and Wang Jingfu The four of them were studying at the National Taiwan University Medical Engineering Institute and the Creative Entrepreneurship Program to jointly offer the "Biomedical Innovation and Commercialization" course Next, let’s embark on the entrepreneurial journey together The core team members of Neuron Technology are mainly composed of cross-field experts in medical engineering, information technology, neurology, patents, business, etc The common entrepreneurial concept is to continuously explore and explore unsolved pain points in medical clinical practice Seeing that patients were suffering from vertigo, Neuron Technology invented and independently developed an efficient and practical wearable smart medical device, NeuroSpeed Smart Glasses, which combines hardware AI-assisted decision-making system software to provide an AI smart solution for rapid dizziness screening Neuron Technology CEO Yang Juncheng said that the proportion of people in Taiwan and the world who suffer from vertigo is very high In Taiwan, as many as 3 of the people about 700,000 suffer from vertigo, while in the United States, about 1,000 people suffer from vertigo Tens of thousands of people go to see a doctor due to vertigo From the data, it can be seen that the vertigo medical care market is quite huge Regarding rapid screening for vertigo diagnosis in the clinic, current rapid screening tools in hospitals mainly use neurological examinations, and most of them are processed through questionnaire-type scales The diagnosis will rely too much on the patient's chief complaint and the doctor's experience judgment, and lacks quantitative indicators, resulting in Misdiagnosis of vertigo and loss of golden treatment time For patients with vertigo who are admitted to the emergency department, medical diagnosis in the past relied heavily on neuromedical imaging tools such as computed tomography CT or magnetic resonance imaging MRI After observation, it was found that the equipment was insufficient In the United States, the number of patients admitted to the emergency department Less than 3 of the population can receive immediate MRI diagnosis, and less than 50 can receive CT diagnosis However, excessive use of CT or MRI diagnosis may lead to overdiagnosis and treatment of patients, and even waste of medical resources In order to help vertigo patients accurately and efficiently screen and triage and reduce over-diagnosis in clinics and emergency rooms, NeuroSpeed Smart Glasses, a wearable smart medical device developed by Neuron Technology, is believed to have a great impact on the overall application of medical resources and patient diagnosis and treatment It is very helpful Yang Juncheng said that if it is not necessary to use MRI to track the diagnosis, this device can be used as a rapid screening test before the existing MRI neuroimaging tools and after the patient is admitted to the hospital, reducing over-diagnosis of patients NeuroSpeed's examination method is to quickly screen for nystagmus to identify patients with potential brain diseases The examination method of this technology is to observe the trembling state of the eyes and a series of eye movements when the subject is staring at a stationary object, so as to judge Brain risks for appropriate diagnosis and treatment NeuroSPeed smart glasses can crack brain and eye diseases, clinical trial sensitivity reaches 90 With the active research and development of Neuron Technology, two generations of NeuroSpeed smart glasses have been successfully launched The first generation NeuroSpeed mainly provides doctors with real-time observation of high-quality eye images and eye movement response-related examination data reference, and does not provide auxiliary diagnosis services The second generation of NeuroSpeed allows physicians to record, track, store and view relevant eye movement analysis and pupil area identification, thereby effectively diagnosing diseases of the central, meridian and peripheral nervous systems Because the second-generation NeuroSpeed product has the function of assisting doctors in analysis and diagnosis, it has been classified as a Class II medical device in the United States and must be certified by the US FDA before it can be sold externally At this stage, this product has completed pre-submission and will be submitted for review after the biocompatibility test is completed It is expected that the second generation NeuroSpeed will successfully obtain US FDA certification next year In terms of actual verification fields, NeuroSpeed has currently cooperated with New Taipei Shuanghe Hospital and Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital for clinical verification Its clinical results have confirmed the classification judgment of central nervous system diseases such as stroke and other vestibular system diseases With the addition of NeuroSpeed Smart glasses are designed to be lightweight and easy to carry, detect quickly and easily, and have the functional characteristics of automatic interpretation They can effectively assist doctors in quickly screening for potential brain disease risks in patients with vertigo Field verification with foreign medical centers mainly involves vertigo patients admitted to the emergency department Physicians can use NeuroSpeed smart devices to interpret the phenomenon of stroke diagnosis Currently, the accuracy of clinical trials in the above-mentioned cooperative hospitals reaches 80 and the sensitivity reaches 90 Neuron Technology develops smart wearable medical device NeuroSpeed smart glasses In addition to becoming the best smart medical assistant for doctors to quickly screen brain disease risks in the clinic and emergency department, NeuroSpeed smart glasses also assist doctors in the detection and assessment of strabismus risk They are jointly developed with the Tri-Service General Hospital through neuron technology The "Portable Strabismus and Abnormal Eye Movement Diagnosis System" is implemented in the Tri-Service General Hospital, providing doctors with a complete preoperative assessment of strabismus and postoperative tracking basis This excellent RD technology achievement was recognized by the 17th National Innovation Award-Clinical Innovation Award in 2020 We know that many diseases can cause congenital or acquired eye movement abnormalities, and even cause symptoms of strabismus or nystagmus Among them, as for strabismus, according to expert physician consultation surveys, the global prevalence of strabismus among school-age children is 2 5, while the prevalence of strabismus among school-age children in Taiwan is about 1 to 4 Yang Juncheng said that clinical diagnosis of the symptoms of these diseases is mainly divided into two categories deviation measurement of eye position and eye movement test It has been observed that there is currently a lack of objective quantitative methods for diagnosing eyeball position deviation, and eyeball deviation measuring instruments are used to check subjectively For Neuron Technology, the current NeuroSpeed instrument and strabismus and abnormal eye movement diagnosis system software can integrate objective and clear eyeball images, eye muscle function and eye deviation angle data as a rapid test that meets clinical diagnostic criteria Service, the data of these tests can be used as the basis for doctors’ complete preoperative assessment and postoperative tracking of strabismus Therefore, this system can provide objective and effective quantitative analysis, which can greatly reduce the medical risks of patients during surgery In terms of business model, Neuron Technology mainly cooperates with hospitals to sell research-based products It is believed that the company expects to have significant revenue performance after passing the FDA next year At present, Neuron Technology will use the country's first wearable smart medical device NeuroSpeed smart glasses and AI assistance system to provide software and hardware integrated solutions to assist doctors in quickly screening brain diseases and eye diseases, extending patients' golden treatment time and reducing social risks health care costs to create a triple win NeuroSpeed smart glasses assist doctors in quickly screening brain and eye diseases Looking at the world, the pioneer of smart medical equipment, a new paradigm of biomedical software and hardware system integration In the early days of Neuron Technology’s entrepreneurship, technology research and development and business expansion faced many challenges Yang Juncheng expressed his sentiments that since the NeuroSpeed product is the first medical smart glasses developed in China, both in terms of obtaining hardware raw materials and developing technical specifications, The challenges associated with building and integrating related systems are higher than those for consumer electronics Additionally, bringing together cross-disciplinary talent and integrating it into a core team is also an entrepreneurial challenge In terms of business development, although the company has accumulated clinical verification results and published related outputs, the establishment of market channels still requires continuous efforts to expand It is hoped that it can continue to rely on the assistance of legal persons such as the Capital Strategy Council to actively create more diversified market channels and connect potential Cooperating manufacturers In order to accelerate international expansion and market operation exchanges, the company will conduct a new round of fundraising planning at this stage to meet development Since its establishment, Neuron Technology has taken long-term development and stable profits as its operating goals Yang Juncheng said that in addition to focusing on existing professional fields, we also develop and apply value-added products through the company's software development and software development The accumulated RD energy of hard integration is expanded to other medical disciplines and fields Yang Juncheng hopes that Neuron Technology can become a pioneer in smart medical equipment, with research and development oriented to meet the needs of users and patients, and also hopes to become a model for the integration of biomedical software and hardware systems For the medium and long-term layout, the company will promote industry-university exchanges and cultivate biomedical talents integrate upstream and downstream industry resources to create smart medical solutions and platforms and actively explore foreign sales markets such as the United States and Europe as a basis for sustainable development of the company Vision 「Translated content is generated by

Complete checkout in 1 second, Viscovery AI image recognition assists smart retail

Artificial intelligence AI has gradually changed the way various industries operate in recent years However, most of the work is still done by humans, with AI playing a supporting role This has led to emergence of the term "AI Copilot," which stands for "AI-driven tools or assistants" that aim to assist users in completing various tasks and improve productivity and efficiency The concept of AI Copilot comes from the role of "co-pilot" During flight, the co-pilot assists the main pilot in completing various tasks to ensure flight safety and efficiency In fact, there have been signs of various "machines" beginning to play the role of "copilot" in different fields since the Industrial Revolution, assisting humans in completing heavy physical and repetitive tasks, greatly improving factory production efficiency, and driving rapid economic development Following the advancement of computing equipment and breakthroughs in machine learning, deep learning, and image recognition technologies, the concept of AI Copilot has gradually taken shape The development of AI Copilot marks the transition from "machine-assisted to AI-assisted" Early robots could only complete preset repetitive tasks, but today's AI copilot can learn and adapt to new environments and tasks, and continuously optimize its performance in practical applications This transformation not only changes human-machine interactions, but also has a profound impact on various industries The application scope of AI copilot covers various industries, including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, education, retail, etc, and are everywhere to be seen Application of AI copilot in the retail industry AI image recognition checkout In the retail industry, the application of AI copilot has begun to show concrete results Take Viscovery's AI image recognition checkout system as an example This system is a type of AI copilot model that helps store clerks speed up checkout or assists consumers in simplifying the self-service checkout process The store clerk needs to scan the product barcodes one by one in the regular checkout method If a product does not have a barcode, such as bread and meals, the clerk needs to first visually confirm the items, and then input them into the POS checkout system one by one Based on actual measurements at a chain bakery, it takes 22 seconds for an experienced clerk from "visual recognition" to "entering product information of a plate of 6 items into the checkout system" New clerks may need even more time In addition, according to a Japanese bakery operator, it takes 1 to 2 months to train employees to become familiar with products Now with AI image recognition technology, store clerks let AI handle the "product recognition" step, and AI will play the role of copilot, quickly identifying items within 1 second, speeding up checkout to save 50 of checkout time, and optimizing customers'shopping experience The time cost of training employees to identify bread can also be effectively shortened Even for products with barcodes, AI can quickly identify multiple items in one second, which is more efficient than scanning barcodes one by one The self-checkout system "assisted" by AI image recognition allows consumers to successfully complete shopping without the help of store clerks, eliminating the trouble of swiping barcodes or searching for items on the screen, which improves the shopping experience In a time when store clerks are hard to hire due to labor shortage, this also helps stores reduce operating costs AI quickly identifies multiple checkout items in just one second Source of image Viscovery Recently, startups dedicated to developing AI image recognition checkout solutions have emerged in various countries The most lightweight solution currently known is in Taiwan It can be immediately used by installing a Viscovery lens and a tablet installed with Viscovery AI image recognition software at the checkout counter to connect to the store's existing POS checkout system There are various integration methods, including plug-and-play and API solutions integrated with the store's POS system Viscovery AI image recognition system can be painlessly integrated with the store's existing POS system Source of image Viscovery Example of AI image recognition checkout Currently, the Viscovery AI image recognition system is being used in bakery chains in Taiwan, Chinese noodle shops in Singapore, micromarkets in department stores in Sendai, Japan, and Japanese bakeries and cake shops Over 7 million transactions were completed through this AI system, which identified more than 40 million items These use cases demonstrate the extensive application of the Viscovery AI image recognition system in the retail industry In the future, the company will continue to explore the various possibilities of using Vision AI in retail and catering nbsp The Viscovery AI image recognition system is already being used in bakeries, cake shops, restaurants, and convenience stores in Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan Source of image Viscovery
