【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.

【解決方案】7毫秒內分離人聲 洞見未來科技協助聽損者「聽說更簡單」
Voice Separation in 7 Milliseconds: RelaJet's Future Technology Makes 'Hearing and Speaking Easier' for the Hearing Impaired

One rainy Thursday afternoon near Taipei Arena, the Taipei Experience Center of RelaJet was fully booked with appointments from people with hearing loss eager to try hearing aids made with a voice separation engine For the hearing impaired, having affordable, lightweight, and effective noise-reducing hearing aids is truly a blessing 'We hope to help users in need to hear the world's wonders again' This empathetic expectation by RelaJet's founder and CEO Po-Ju Chen, who is also hearing impaired, illustrates his understanding of the needs of the hearing impaired He hopes that RelaJet's unique voice amplification hearing aid technology will benefit many more people Affordable hearing aids benefit many with hearing loss Founded in 2018 by Po-Ju Chen and his brother Yu-Ren Chen, RelaJet developed a multi-voice separation engine paired with Qualcomm's Bluetooth audio platform, drastically reducing the price of imported hearing aids, typically costing 80,000-100,000 NT dollars, to just under 10,000 NT dollars They aim to develop affordable goods with excellent noise-cancelling capabilities that wirelessly connect to smartphones In its first two years, the company primarily developed the multi-voice separation engine, which significantly improved the noise reduction quality Once equipped with Qualcomm Bluetooth earphone chips, the audio processing time is drastically short, at about 7 milliseconds to enhance main voice projection and reduce ambient noise, less than half the time required by traditional medical standard of 16 milliseconds for hearing aids, nearly 'zero-delay' 洞見未來科技推出平價助輔聽器,大大嘉惠聽損者 Yu-Ren Chen explains that the primary use of Qualcomm chips for edge computing, along with a streamlined algorithm, achieves extremely low latency and better noise reduction The hearing aids can cover 18 channels, whereas traditional hearing aids cover 4-48 channels In the future, RelaJet will progressively increase the number of channels According to statistics, there are 470 million people globally with hearing disabilities, with a 30 average device use rate in developed countries, with the highest in Western countries Taiwan has nearly 15 million people with disabling hearing loss, of which the middle-aged and elderly make up 30, yet the device use rate is only about 10, which is quite low Yu-Ren Chen further analyzes that the low device usage rate is due to two reasons firstly, the high average selling price of international big brands ranges from 80,000 to 200,000 NT dollars with a three-year usability period, which deters many due to the high cost and maintenance Secondly, in noisy environments, the noise is also amplified which does not necessarily ensure clarity for the users, and the sound parameters can't be adjusted in real-time, making it inconvenient to frequently visit stores for tuning Thirdly, most models cannot connect to smartphones, making it inconvenient for the hearing impaired to take phone calls Utilizing Qualcomm Bluetooth chips for rapid product development In light of this, Po-Ju Chen, formerly a semiconductor engineer at MediaTek, leads the technical development, while Yu-Ren Chen, with a legal background, manages the operations Their seamless collaboration, along with their team employing AI algorithms and chip integration, learns from thousands of hours of audio files in databases through neural networks and deep learning technologies to develop low-latency, high-noise-reduction voice amplification technologies for hearing aids In 2019, this sound processing technology was integrated into Qualcomm Bluetooth chips, winning first place in the Qualcomm Taiwan Startup Competition and becoming a partner in Qualcomm's Global Expansion Program, significantly boosting product development pace In 2021, they launched their own Otoadd series of hearingenhancement products in Taiwan, which received both market favor and positive reviews from many with hearing loss Based on different consumer needs, various product designs are available According to Yu-Ren Chen, the Otoadd wireless earphones with hearing enhancement functions, model N1, are entry-level neckband style priced at 9,500 NT per pair Users can wear the hearing aid while taking calls, and control noise reduction strength and volume through a mobile app They plan to develop accessories in the future tailored to the needs of older adults Besides being available for trials at experience centers in Taipei and Kaohsiung, this hearing aid is also sold through PChome, Taiwan Mobile's myfone, and Elder Age networks, among other channels Another model intended for individuals with mild to severe hearing loss is the Classic R hearing aid, which received the Japanese Good Design Award in 2021 Since its market debut last year, it has attracted those with congenital hearing loss, with users noting improved clarity in noisy environments and appreciating the convenience of Bluetooth connectivity for calls and watching videos This product is anticipated to be exported to international markets in the latter half of this year Additionally, a hearing aid product combining Bluetooth functionality, set to launch in June this year, is sized like typical Bluetooth earphones, targeting visually conscious consumers with hearing loss Its small size and attractive wireless earphone design allow for phone calls, and if approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, eligible users can apply for government subsidies RelaJet to expand into overseas markets, using the USA as a beachhead An interesting question arises due to the pandemic everyone must wear masks which impedes lip-reading How does this affect those with hearing loss Yu-Ren Chen indicates that this situation highlights RelaJet's advantages As each person with hearing loss has different levels of hearing ability, hearing aids can only augment to an appropriate volume, assisting users to hear about 60-70 content, with the remainder relying on lip reading and gestures During the pandemic, as everyone wears masks, masks also muffle sounds, but RelaJet's voice separation engine can correct and strengthen the separation, making it easier for those with hearing loss to recognize voices Besides the Taiwan market, RelaJet's next stage will be expanding into overseas markets, expecting to obtain ISO 13485 medical device quality management system certification and US medical device approval in 2022 They plan to enter the US market, either under their own brand or through OEM arrangements Apart from the Taiwan market, RelaJet will also enter the US market in the next phase for hearing aids「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date:2024-05-19」
