【2020 Solutions】 Juyi Intelligence Detects Symptoms with Just a Single Optical Lens

In ancient times, traditional Chinese medicine doctors diagnosed by looking, smelling, asking, and touching to assess the pulse, facial complexion, and interrogation of the patient to understand the symptoms; modern AI doctors, with a single optical lens, can scan and detect physiological information of the user, obtaining heartbeat, blood pressure, heart rate variability, etc., making symptoms nowhere to hide.

AI doctors 'see' physiological signals

The AI start-up company Juyi Intelligence, founded by Wu Bingfei, a distinguished professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the National Chiao Tung University, is at the core of 'AI optic-based physiological information measurement' technology. It uses common photographic lenses to capture continuous facial images for signal processing. After algorithms process the data, it can obtain physiological information such as heartbeat, heart rate variability, and blood pressure. The key feature of this technology is non-contact measurement.

With the advent of an aging society, the demand for long-term care has surged. However, for the elderly who dislike wearing devices, even the best wearable devices are ineffective. Additionally, seniors are generally unfamiliar with using 3C products, thus such devices might become a burden. However, Juyi Intelligence has a new solution by using an optical lens in an imaging detection system to observe facial expressions, it can detect blood pressure and heartbeat. Compared to other wearable devices, whether worn on the body or the wrist, the advantage of a photographic lens is its simplicity and complete unobtrusiveness.

Real-time measurement, precise tracking

Currently, most available products on the market are wearable physiological measurement devices or video surveillance products that do not have physiological detection capabilities. This solution is the only successfully commercialized system for image-based physiological information measurement. The technical highlights are:

1. Commercializable, non-contact continuous detection technology for heartbeat, heart rate variability, and blood pressure.

2. Heart rate measurement results can be output within 6 seconds.

3. Direct measurement even with glasses on.

4. High accuracy measurement compared to medical-grade devices.

5. Clinical trials conducted with hospitals to collect real physiological data to optimize AI algorithms.

6. Wide applications using physiological information measurements for stress, fraud, or fatigue detection.

Horizontal technology creates diverse vertical applications

In healthcare, it mainly assists elderly patients with cardiovascular diseases, avoiding the discomfort of wearing medical devices, without needing to change daily habits, allowing the system to automatically perform daily health records and predict related diseases, saving medical staff for more intelligent elder care solutions.

In the smart finance sector, facial image processing technology detects physiological information and emotional changes along with masking behaviors. Implemented in bank ATMs or counter systems to enhance monitoring camera functions, it observes the state of withdrawers, sends alerts to clerks upon detecting abnormal emotions or behaviors, thus preventing financial crimes or fraud.

In transportation, using Juyi's technology can detect whether drivers are fatigued. If data indicates the driver has become fatigued, an alert can be issued, advising the driver to stop driving to avoid accidents.

In the financial field, Juyi Intelligence has also cooperated with Shanghai Commercial Bank, introducing the image-based physiological information detection system in newly established smart branches, using physiological information to enhance emotion recognition, strengthening the bank's KYC verification and ATM anti-fraud operations along with VIP exclusive services, providing bank customers with a brand-new digital financial service experience. This technology has been implemented in digital branches in Taichung and Hsinchu.

Furthermore, the non-contact physiological information measurement has a wide range of applications, focusing on smart healthcare, smart finance, smart transportation, and smart security. Initially, these sectors were independent vertical blocks, but Juyi specializes in horizontal technology that allows more diverse applications in each vertical sector, providing more versatile grounding applications.

Disruptive innovative business model Qiyi Medical Electronics launches mobile medical device-ECG sensor to create the last piece of the puzzle in telemedicine

With the advent of the post-epidemic era, the development of global telemedicine is in the ascendant, which has greatly increased the demand for smart medical technology in decentralized medicine Among them, if mobile medical devices can provide real-world at home or outside the hospital data for use in hospitals, it is believed that it will reduce the burden of diagnosis and treatment on doctors or medical personnel and reduce health insurance expenses To this end, Singular Wings Medical has launched a comprehensive telemedicine solution, which combines excellent wearable mobile medical device design, innovative software development, AI algorithms and cloud platform services, and will become the last piece of telemedicine puzzle David Lee, the founder and general manager of Qiyi Medical Electronics, said that his original intention to start the business was because he witnessed Taiwan's long-term pursuit of low-cost mass production, which led to the continuous decline in the value of the industry For example, in the past thirty years, The output value of the former Silicon Valley was similar to that of Taiwan's Hsinchu Science Park, but thirty years later, the output value of Silicon Valley reached US14 trillion at the end of 2020, while the output value of Hsinchu Science Park was less than NT15 trillion at the end of 2021 Seeing Silicon Valley's sensitivity to industry needs and disruptive innovations such as Uber, Airbnb, industry trends and the post-epidemic era have driven a surge in telemedicine services, thereby creating high industry value, so I started a business at the age of 45 and conceived how to combine it with Taiwan After more than ten years of accumulated industrial advantages and Silicon Valley's innovative model, we decided to help Taiwan's industry upgrade and find a new path through the integration of the medical industry, ICT technology industry and innovative business models Seeing that Taiwan has always been a gathering place for the most elite talents in the medical industry and electronics and electrical industry, I believe that through the combination of the two and innovative business models, we can have the opportunity to follow Silicon Valley and create a different business According to Taiwan’s Communication Diagnosis and Treatment Methods, Taiwan’s market demand for telemedicine is divided into two situations emergency such as COVID-19 and special necessity such as special geographical locations such as outlying islands or mountains It is allowed Carry out communication medical diagnosis In fact, the development of global telemedicine decentralized medicine is in the ascendant, but the demand for smart medical technology to meet decentralized medicine still needs to be realized In addition to the medical technology gap, it also includes medical treatment flow, patient identification, remote Remote consultation and collection are fueling the push for smart medical technology Li Weizhong observed that for telemedicine decentralized medicine to be successfully implemented, it is best to use telemedicine devices that are used outside the hospital or at home and are easily available in daily life Among them, the data of the device is the key It can provide doctors with out-of-hospital real-world data Real World Data or Real World Evidence that they can trust and apply, so that they can improve their diagnosis and treatment methods In fact, this type of telemedicine device is not popular, making remote medical care difficult to complete In addition, as the number of wearable devices such as bracelets and watches increases, most of the data that these devices can truly provide is insufficient for medical purposes and is not easy to validate and verify Li Weizhong said that people are paying more and more attention to health awareness, which is a positive encouragement for telemedicine devices He believes that as long as there is an appropriate business model and the right way to cooperate with hospitals and doctors can reduce the burden on doctors or medical personnel and reduce health insurance expenditures, Qi Yi Medical Electronics will definitely have the opportunity to become the last piece of the puzzle in telemedicine Founded in 2015, Qiyi Medical Electronics’ core team consists of 22 diversified professionals, including young engineers with medical, engineering and information backgrounds and experienced entrepreneurs, working together to create an overall solution for remote healthcare The solution includes hardware design, software development and backend cloud platform services for the mobile medical device Beatinfor Health electrocardiogram sensor Electrocardiogram ECG is one of the most important vital signs body temperature, pulse, respiration and physiological data of the human body, which can reflect various physiological changes in the human body, such as cardiovascular health, inflammation, infection, bleeding, injury or anxiety index changes For this core concept, Qiyi Medical is committed to using wearable electrocardiograms as its core technology, while collecting important vital signs and environmental parameters such as electrocardiograms, and building AI algorithm systems and backend cloud platform services based on big data and machine learning to help solve remote problems Specific chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, sleep problems, and metabolic diseases are the most important in medical treatment Electrocardiogram sensor continuous physiological data monitoring reduces the risk of death in acute heart failure patients by 11 within 30 days after discharge In order to realize remote medical services, Qiyi Medical Electronics has launched a complete set of remote medical care solutions, including wearable mobile medical devices-electrocardiogram sensor BEATINFO ECG, BEATINFO HEALTH APP, and AI algorithms , web pages and BEATINFO HEALTH cloud service platform The BEATINFO ECG sensor is an exclusive device for the BEATINFO HEALTH APP health cloud platform It can be used continuously for 40 hours when fully charged The device is only 15g This sensor can collect the user's electrocardiogram, respiration, and skin temperature through a patch or chest strap , body movements, postures and environmental parameters Currently, BEATINFO ECG sensor has 8 patents in the United States and Taiwan, and won 2 German iF Design Awards in 2017 Mobile medical device-electrocardiogram sensor can provide continuous physiological data monitoring In terms of overall technical features, the BEATINFO HEALTH cloud service platform has four key physiological data detection characteristics continuity, long-range, real-time and dynamic In terms of operation, users can download the BEATINFO HEALTH APP on Android or iOS systems Its interface can provide physiological data status, order health assessment reports such as one-day sleep assessment report or cardiovascular health assessment report, and high-intensity exercise test Cardiovascular assessment reports, third-party remote medical consultation services and other functions Users use patch-type or chest-strap ECG sensors paired with end-to-cloud platforms for continuous physiological detection Before being transmitted to the cloud for further calculations, all data will be de-identified and made available to professionals Data reports are provided for physician judgment The BEATINFO HEALTH cloud service platform has powerful noise filtering processing capabilities, fast waveform recognition and judgment, as well as highly complex cloud architecture and communication technology Why is the noise filter processing capability so important Because medical equipment in general hospitals must require users to complete short-term measurements under static conditions Usually, data in life situations outside the hospital cannot be collected by the hospital, and this data is very important to doctors It is increasingly important to understand the progression of the disease and the condition of patients leaving the hospital Therefore, if we continue to record very weak ECG signals in daily life, we actually need to overcome a very high technical threshold After these signals are processed by the noise, they will first be judged by the AI algorithm before preliminary and rapid conclusions can be made Users can instantly avoid certain fatal risks The cloud architecture provides a deeper level of second-order computing and also covers the business model architecture It provides service models such as user management, automatic report generation, record keeping, alarm notifications, and connection with more services such as third-party alarms Emergency rescue, third-party medical consultation, doctor and patient docking, medical treatment cash flow and other functions In terms of competitive advantages in the industry, compared with the industry's braceletwatch products, Qiyi Medical's electrocardiogram sensor BEATINFO ECG provides accurate medical-level measurements, and can continuously record and collect physiological data, improving any Sudden or sporadic symptoms may occur Compared with the electrocardiogram patch of its peers, it provides real-time data return and web-based management tools, and can produce various reports for managers to remotely manage a large number of users on the web According to statistics from Beijing Medical University, the mortality rate of patients with acute heart failure within 30 days after discharge is as high as 11 If an electrocardiogram sensor is installed on the patient for continuous and real-time monitoring for 30 days, it is possible to reduce part of the risk of death, and at the same time, it can Significantly reduce health insurance costs Additionally, in the case of cardiovascular disease, if the user wears the device for a period of time, regular cardiovascular assessment reports can be obtained and provided for follow-up in-depth examinations by doctors In addition to the measurement of cardiovascular diseases, the ECG sensor configuration can provide home assessment of sleep apnea OSA During the measurement, patients can discover potential and easily overlooked cardiovascular diseases, and users do not need to stay in the sleep ward for treatment After a boring night, through the ECG sensor patch and AI algorithm, patients only need to sleep at home for one night to receive an OSA test report If needed, doctors can access patient status remotely and instantly via any internet browser Therefore, through the ECG sensor wearable service, users can discover hidden and unknown cardiovascular diseases such as arrhythmias related to sudden death from the measurement process to avoid unnecessary regrets Qiyi Medical Electronics’ business model is mainly B2B2C, hoping to assist individuals, hospitals, enterprises, care services and other units to create a win-win situation Li Weizhong analyzed that the business cooperation model is quite flexible, whether it is leasing or buying out wearable measurement devices, or providing annual report subscriptions to reduce the cost of purchasing devices for users, such as including 2-minute electrocardiogram, Flexible subscription package including 7-day cardiovascular health assessment, exercise cardiovascular health assessment, sleep health assessment report, etc Group cardiovascular monitoring system solution creates a many-to-many real-time physiological information monitoring platform to replace diagnosis with prevention In addition to providing individual users with remote mobile physiological data measurement, the BEATINFO cloud platform provides a "group cardiovascular monitoring system" solution that can create many-to-many real-time physiological information monitoring through network technology Based on the platform, patients only need to wear a lightweight monitoring patch, and the back-end system can grasp the changes in their physiological information, so that prevention can replace diagnosis and reduce the chance of sudden cardiovascular death This platform provides 3 functions, including the ability to manage different users into groups and hierarchically, and the number of users can reach tens of thousands it can display users’ basic physiological information in real time on web tools, and can be used under certain preset conditions When triggered, this platform will immediately send out an alarm historical data can also be reviewed on the platform, which is very suitable for doctors to check the patient's disease progression outside the hospital during consultation For the application of the "Group Cardiovascular Monitoring System" solution, taking high-intensity exercise as an example, such as long-distance running and cycling, mountain climbing activities or traveling abroad, a prior cardiovascular health assessment is required activities, and corresponding evaluation reports This report allows users to share it with doctors, so that participants can make assessments before the event or test their training effectiveness, which can significantly reduce the risk of accidents during the event beforehand During the activity, the group cardiovascular monitoring system also provides real-time on-site monitoring of a large number of participants It can be monitored in real time by the AI in the background at the moment of exercise Once an accident occurs, the platform can immediately issue an alarm and even report the accident GPS positioning of the location, and continuously transmits back the user's physiological information during search and rescue, striving for golden rescue time In sports monitoring applications, taking golf as an example, how to improve golfers' puttinghitting performance A player's performance and concentration are usually directly related to personal emotional stability Li Weizhong said that through HRV analysis of Qiyi Medical's electrocardiogram device, it can help determine the player's emotional and stress index performance, and at the same time help golf coaches select and train players The group cardiovascular monitoring system can create a many-to-many real-time physiological information monitoring platform Establish a firm foothold in Taiwan, move towards the US and European markets, and move towards the goal of a data company Faced with the challenges of technology research and development and market promotion, Qiyi Medical Electronics’ automatic identification of electrocardiograms requires a large amount of data for AI calculation development For this reason, Qiyi Medical Electronics must cooperate with hospitals and develop jointly Finish At present, the company has established good cooperative relations with many medical centers and research units, and has overcome these technical bottlenecks one by one In terms of market promotion, Li Weizhong said that the biggest challenge facing Qiyi Medical Electronics is to communicate with the market and let the public understand the differences between competitors' bracelet and watch products and the company's mobile device-electrocardiogram sensor Compared with the common bracelet and watch products on the market that collect electrocardiogram data in a discontinuous manner, it may take a long time to collect discontinuous data before potential cardiovascular problems can be discovered by luck Qiyi Medical Electronics actively promotes electrocardiogram to the public in a continuous manner The competitive functional characteristics of sexual detection data and emphasize that it is a very important means to assist in the detection of many potential diseases, replacing diagnosis with prevention and reducing the occurrence of unnecessary cardiovascular diseases In addition, in terms of business promotion, we also hope to create more opportunities for business matching and new venture capital raising with the assistance of the Corporate Resource Strategy Council Looking to the future, Li Wei and Xu Qiyi Medical Electric Energy will become the last piece of the telemedicine puzzle in the health wearable device-electrocardiogram service Li Weizhong said that in the short term, Qiyi Medical hopes to gain a firm foothold in Taiwan and become a common medical device in everyone's home, just like thermometers and blood pressure monitors The company is also constantly developing new indications Starting from electrocardiogram, coupled with AI and big data, it can deal with more chronic diseases In addition to cardiovascular diseases, we have also successively developed sleep apnea and other more special diseases The applications are aimed at the problems of elderly chronic diseases that modern people are very likely to encounter With a mid- to long-term plan, Qiyi Medical will enter the US and EU markets, become an international company, and continue to aim to become a data company, making good use of the company's long-term collection of data applications to provide services in diverse fields such as new drug development and vaccine development application to create business opportunities and profits 「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation

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

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
