【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 9:00 a.m., 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 robot’s 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 obtains data within 30 seconds, saving 1/2 of the labor cost of care

The telehealth care management platform is an important core care platform of Zcon Telehealth. It effectively integrates the exclusive measuring equipment provided by the company to daycare center, such as blood pressure monitors, forehead thermometers, and i-GlucoPal - needle-free blood glucose detection. By downloading the smart care app of Zcon Telehealth, it can help long-term care institutions collect physiological data records of the elderly, and store the data in the cloud via Bluetooth transmission, allowing institutions to quickly obtain health data reports of the elderly. Elderly people can also download the app, and use their own account and password to accurately measure and record their personal physiological data. At the same time, family members can also use the account and password of their elders in institutions to keep an eye on the elder's health status and past measurement records. The 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 1/2 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 telehealth care, Zcon Telehealth launched Taiwan's original AI health management robot, integrating hardware manufacturers with health management software services provided by Zcon Telehealth. The service functions of the AI health management robot include the physiological measurement of Zcon Telehealth's Smart Care app combined with its own measuring equipment (blood pressure meter, forehead 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 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 services.

Psychological consultation + AI brainwave detection equipment to understand customers' mental health status in advance

In terms of tele-psychological counseling platform services, Zcon Telehealth not only assisted counseling centers with developing new remote customer service channels during the pandemic, but also uses the UberPsycho app to quickly help customers match with psychological counseling centers that suit them. It has also successfully provided value-added services that combine psychological counseling at counseling centers with AI brainwave equipment for brain health assessment through clinical verification. It also obtained brain assessment and test reports, and then guided customers to appropriate psychologists for counseling.

"More than 2.3 million people in Taiwan receive psychological counseling services every year, and about 1/10 of them, or more than 230,000 people, need further psychiatric treatment." In addition, the psychologists have different clinical experience and judgment. Bobby Pan pointed out that if psychological counseling can be combined with AI brainwave equipment for brain health assessment, and it can provide customers with the early prevention mechanisms of "mental health examination" and "psychological counseling." He believes that the company can quickly grasp the customer's mental state and prevent them from doing something they will regret. With the support of the AI HUB project of the Industrial Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Zcon Telehealth cooperated with 5 counseling centers in field verification, providing the counseling centers with AI brain health assessment equipment. The customer test report includes simple mental assessment, heart rhythm assessment, autonomic nervous system assessment, behavioral response assessment, brain health assessment, neurological response assessment, and brain emotion assessment.

In terms of breakthroughs in AI technology, Zcon Telehealth connects devices through a brain-computer interface for brain health assessment indicators, transmits physiological data, and uses a long-short-term memory model and convolutional neural network to analyze neural indicators. It automatically generates a cognitive function assessment report through cloud services as the quantitative result of mental health examination. This value-added service of the verified mental health examination solution has been actively expanded to all counseling centers in Taiwan through cooperating counseling centers. In the future, the company will continue to cooperate with medical institutions and health examination centers to expand its business.

▲Psychological consultation + AI brainwave detection equipment to determine mental health status in advance

In terms of business model, physiological data detection technology based on AI facial recognition uses a non-binding payment mechanism. Individuals or companies will receive AI blood oxygen detection cards provided by Zcon Telehealth, and scan the QRCode on the card using their mobile phones for unlimited self-health measurements within one month. They only need to pay NT$300 per month, which is quite affordable. In addition, the fee for the telehealth care management platform is also very affordable at only NT$100 for each account. For the tele-psychological counseling platform, Zcon Telehealth signs annual contracts and bills customers on monthly basis. The AI health management robot is provided for customers to buy out.

Looking towards the international market while based in Taiwan, developing diverse telehealth services

From the perspective of Zcon Telehealth, how to successfully develop products, market them, and expand business opportunities has been a challenge since the company was founded. Among them, the company's development of physiological data detection technology based on AI facial recognition was the most challenging. Bobby Pan said that since there is no precedent in the industry, the only way was to go back to school to study. Fortunately, he was admitted in a doctoral program two years ago and read countless foreign journals, which he then integrated into product design and development. It took 2 years of hard work to achieve this result. Zcon Telehealth is not only passionate about the development of AI-enhanced telehealth care services, but also believes that AI-based contactless physiological health measurement and data can provide people and care institutions with a more affordable, convenient, fast, and considerate health measurement option in the post-pandemic era.

In terms of business strategy, Bobby Pan hopes that recent promotion of the physiological data detection technology based on AI facial recognition will continue to increase market share and create cooperation opportunities with channels. To this end, the SDK (Software Development Kit) developed by Zcon Telehealth allows any application owner to embed it into their solution, and can use the SDK to directly detect physiological data on Android or iOS devices. It is also applicable to mobile phones, tablets, smart TVs, or smart health mirrors. In the future, Zcon Telehealth will primarily target large-scale health companies for cooperation, and looks forward to finding more potential partners with the assistance of the Institute for Information Technology (III).

In the past two years, Zcon Telehealth has actively expanded into the field of AI healthcare and maintained its leadership in AI facial recognition technology. Facing the fiercely competitive AI healthcare industry, Bobby Pan said that Zcon Telehealth must plan ahead and will first provide physiological data detection technology based on AI facial recognition to charity and religious groups free of charge, in order to increase product visibility in the short-term. In the mid-term, Zcon Telehealth will partner with large health companies, such as health examination centers, and utilize the big data collected through the cooperation to plan customized health products and services. For long-term development, Zcon Telehealth plans to set up a branch in Texas, USA by the end of this year and establish local distribution channels. It will actively expand business to emerging potential markets, such as Vietnam, the Middle East, and South America.

You can know what people look like but not what's going on inside. Zcon Telehealth breaks through the traditional approach and uses AI facial recognition technology to detect multiple physiological data in 30 seconds, gaining insight into an individual’s current health condition, so that it can not only know what people look like, but also what's going on inside. Bobby Pan said that it took years of hard work to complete the development of physiological data detection technology based on AI facial recognition. Zcon Telehealth is looking towards international markets while it is based in Taiwan, and will develop diverse telehealth services.

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

Watertight smart industrial safety inspection Linker Vision’s image analysis AI platform sets a new record of inspection time reduced from 100 minutes to 3 seconds

With the rise of smart manufacturing, there is a demand for industrial safety inspections in high-risk industries such as chemical, energy, and electrical industries Take pipeline inspection in the chemical industry as an example It relies heavily on manual regular inspection and monitoring, and lacks intelligent monitoring by a professional AI team This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but may also cause accidental risks to employees in various industrial safety environments The image analysis AI platform developed by Xinyun Linke not only improves employee personal safety and reduces risk factors, but also significantly reduces the time for human visual inspection of pipeline abnormalities from an average of 100 minutes to 3 seconds Paul Shieh, founder and chairman of Linker Vision Co, Ltd Linker Vision, said, "The overall technological development and progress in the United States comes from entrepreneurship Linker Vision's original intention to start a business in Taiwan has been I hope that through my past experience in entrepreneurship in the United States, I can introduce the American entrepreneurial spirit and culture to Taiwan's budding entrepreneurial fertile ground and truly implement it "American entrepreneurial culture encourages employees to value ownership and emphasizes that employees regard themselves as owners of the company Be a part of the company, with a work attitude and spirit that would be better than mine The company's achievements are your own achievements, breaking the original employer-employee relationship The company will reward outstanding employees with stocks, share the glory together, and establish a partnership with employees Partnership On the other hand, Taiwan still has room for efforts in entrepreneurial culture and management, and it retains the traditional thinking of employers and employees It is expected that Xinyun Linke's establishment of American entrepreneurial culture and values in Taiwan will serve as a starting point to drive more domestic new companies to follow suit, and then Only by upgrading the business constitution of new software AI entrepreneurs can they break out of the cocoon and go global Facing the market, most international players focus on developing AI models and algorithms They are less willing to invest in data-centered Data-Centric AI services They think that processing large amounts of 2D or 3D data is quite time-consuming It’s also energy-consuming Seeing the gap in AI technology and encouraged by Microsoft, Xinyunlinke decided to fully invest in Data-Centric's AI technology layout and deep roots many years ago, and specialize in technical energy in data processing, filtering and accuracy Therefore, Become an important partnership with Microsoft for AI technology supply In addition, due to the gap in industrial demand, domestic large factories, whose strength is chemical manufacturing, still rely heavily on manpower for inspection of pipelines in the factory, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive However, in order to cater to the AI industry, the owner reorganized the IT department originally engaged in database management and control into an AI team However, due to the owner's lack of professional experience in AI software technology, AI models and related domain know-how, the owner introduced AI implementation Industrial safety monitoring in the chemical industry is even more challenging The world's first AI automatic labeling technology surpasses manual labeling and can visually identify objects with an accuracy of over 95 In terms of AI technology power, Xinyunlinke has launched the world's first dual-core innovative technology of automatic labeling Auto-labeling and automatic machine learning to create an efficient and stable image analysis AI platform to provide customers with the best Advanced and complete AI solutions In terms of automatic annotation, this AI technology can overcome the most difficult challenge in deep learning, which is to provide customers with the highest quality training data Taking self-driving cars as an example, how to enable one self-driving car to effectively identify another car is the importance of labeling In the past labeling methods, we first needed to collect digital images of millions of vehicles, roads, signs, and pedestrians, and spent a lot of manpower Manually labeling one image at a time was time-consuming, labor-intensive, high in labor cost, and inefficient Through automatic labeling AI technology, combined with automatic machine learning to automatically label digital images, AI can exclude human error labeling and then throw the correct data into the vehicle's brain for vehicle identification Compared with manual labeling accuracy of only 60, the accuracy of automatically labeling and identifying objects with AI can be as high as over 95 It can also reduce manual labeling time by more than 80 and save at least 80 of labor costs AI automatically marks AI behavior recognition for high-altitude operations In the automatic machine learning part, Xinyunlinke established an AI visual model with continuous learning capabilities to adapt to data changes By optimizing the overall development process, from AI data ingestion and filtering Data Selection to AI labeling AI Labeling , model training and verification, deployment and monitoring, so that AI computer vision can continue to learn more quickly and easily Automatic machine learning can currently be applied to different business cases such as object identification and counting, personnel entry and exit security detection, product defect detection, people flow identification, product shortages on shelves, etc Looking at domestic companies such as TSMC, Formosa Plastics and Hon Hai towards intelligent AI management and purchasing a large number of cameras to meet the image recognition needs of industrial safety surveillance, coupled with the introduction caused by the unfamiliarity of existing customer organizations with AI applications Thresholds and preliminary preparations for image recognition include complicated workflows such as data screening and annotation To this end, Xinyunlinke has been committed to accelerating the development of AI computer vision applications in recent years, providing client-to-end services, and can flexibly deploy according to customer needs Complete automated AI solution services in the cloud, on-premises, or cloud on-premises Xie Yuanbao said that the AI automation technology process provides data selection Data Selection AI technology through domain-type pictures given by customers, helping customers automatically filter out precise such as 10,000 transactions from a

learning image analysis AI platform for Mobility as a Service in various fields Xie Yuanbao observed that the biggest challenge facing the entrepreneurial culture of software companies in Taiwan is that young new entrepreneurs or employees in Taiwan do not understand the entrepreneurial model and lack the awareness to regard themselves as part of the company owners This has caused It is a pity that your future is unclear or you have a past-experience mentality that prevents you from staying competent in a new start-up company for a long time I believe that the essence of true entrepreneurship lies in every employee rolling up their sleeves and working hard, so that they can truly enjoy the fruits of entrepreneurial profits Otherwise, for young entrepreneurs or employees who often change tracks, it will be like a rolling stone that gathers no moss , I am unable to take a deep root on the road of entrepreneurship, and I lose my ability to solidly accumulate financial independence Regarding the business promotion challenges of Xinyun Linke, Xie Yuanbao said with emotion that because the Taiwan market does not have a deep understanding of AI software applications, it relies more on open source AI visual analysis or machine learning and other resources on the market, but in fact These AI technology resources are limited in their ability to support customers' AI model needs, resulting in uneven quality of AI visual analysis software in the market Therefore, the impact is more indirect on Xinyunlinke's ability to truly provide customers with professional and data-centric AI image analysis services, and it also reduces the company's original business value in customer reference In terms of technical research and development challenges, the visual analysis AI platform cannot rely solely on AI model experts It must gather talents in various fields such as cloud, machine learning, data science, front-end and back-end and other professional team combinations to make the platform operate successfully Xie Yuanbao said that he believes that only through the automatic learning of the visual analysis AI platform, automatic fast and accurate data processing capabilities, and providing customers with complete AI solution services in the cloud, cloud ground Hybrid to pure ground, can we truly Convince customers and stand out from the competition Looking to the future, Xie Yuanbao hopes that Xinyunlin Technology can build an image analysis AI platform for Mobility as a Service to automatically learn in various fields such as self-driving cars, smart warehousing robots, and unmanned buses in smart cities At the same time, I am also grateful to the support of the Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs for the smooth landing of Xinyunlin Technology in Taiwan and the opportunity to recruit talents from all walks of life to work together In the short-term layout, the company will actively cooperate with domestic players such
