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 900 am, 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 robotrsquos 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

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 12 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

and widely distributed, located in the remote Pingtung area with the headquarters in Taipei, for inspections of the Pingtung plant, the customer just needs to use the DaaS service model, directly order online and upload a map of the Pingtung plant, obtain a quote from the company, and then entrust local Pingtung pilots to perform aerial inspections of the solar power plant During the process, the drone's route is automatically calculated by AI to plan the flight path, and the aerial data is transmitted to the client's cloud account, allowing the Taipei headquarters clients to immediately see the inspection status of the solar power plant from the earthbook website such as the condition of the solar panels, dust detection, or abnormal heat generation from solar electromagnetism, effectively helping the customer significantly reduce operational costs and efficiently complete the solar power plant inspection service Introduction of DaaS online aerial photography service in petrochemical plants According to estimates, solar power plant clients often incur high personnel costs by purchasing drones or outsourcing aerial photography With the long-term provision of aerial photography devices and the DaaS business model by Extreme Present Tech, customers can save 45 of aerial photography costs, and obtain aerial inspection reports within 24 hours post-operation, helping clients efficiently identify issues with solar panels Aiming to become the largest aerial data service company and enter the Southeast Asian market Since its establishment in 2018, Extreme Present
