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」

Taiwan is moving towards an aging society, and the demand for long-term care for seniors has increased significantly The invisible killer of long-term care - the fall of an elder is an unspeakable pain for home caregivers and care institutions How to turn every unexpected crisis into the most immediate and warm care is a true test of the adaptability and innovation of smart care In order to make filial piety easier, Foreaider Technology has launched the intelligent sensing mattress Foreaider-Z, a thoughtful auxiliary device that can prioritize the physiological information of the elders, allowing the elders to live with dignity, make up for the lack of care manpower, improve the quality of care, and reduce the cost of care The fall rate reaches more than 25, effectively saving more than 200,000 yuan in care costs per person per year “To take care of my mother” was the original intention of Furen Technology when it was established in 2018 Luo Yilin, founder and general manager of Furen Technology, said that he has been a caregiver for more than 10 years and recalled that his mother had A patient with severe mental illness spent 20-30 years in a nursing home Because he was reluctant to leave his elderly mother, Luo Yilin decided to shoulder the heavy responsibility of taking care of her In the past, my mother stayed in a nursing home for a long time, which made her unwilling to contact strangers and made her feel insecure about changes in the environment and space This is why Furen Technology "makes filial piety simpler without changing the living environment of the elderly" "Let the elderly live with dignity" as the ultimate goal of the product, we decided to use advanced sensing technology and AI analysis to deliver appropriate care information to caregivers, eliminating the physical and mental torture that caregivers experience when caring for the elderly We look forward to using smart care AI Technology makes interacting with elders easier Elder falls are the most common accidents that occur when caring for the elderly at home Bed exit warning technology has become one of the important demand indicators for caring for the elderly, Luo Yilin said Insufficient manpower at night is often a headache for the operation of nursing institutions They can only handle daily routine care affairs, but cannot properly manage emergencies or minor symptoms of the elderly, such as falls at the bedside, temporary physical discomfort such as aspiration pneumonia, etc It is a problem that cannot be properly handled by the current ward inspection and shift handover mechanism For nursing institutions, taking bedside falls as an example, a fall may increase the average annual care cost by more than 200,000 yuan per person In order to build a non-verbal communication bridge between caregivers and care recipients, help care institutions quickly respond to the elderly's physiological and medical information, and improve medical care schedule planning, Luo Yilin and the core team gathered caregivers, doctors, and senior engineers and other professionals, jointly independently developed the "Smart Sensing Mattress" Foreaider-Z to provide homes and care institutions with more thoughtful and high-quality hardware and software AI smart care solutions Helping people without being too strict and helping people without blame is the founding purpose of Helper Technology, which mainly delivers on two levels The first is to put people first and make caring for the elderly a warm interaction In addition, caregivers should have a selfless dedication mentality It has been observed that the cared for may not be willing to express their own needs due to different reasons If the needs of the elders can be grasped through smart care technology, it will not only bring more dignity and dignity to the elders Space can reduce unnecessary communication misunderstandings, make the care process smoother, and reduce care costs Smart sensing mattress, the caring guardian of the elders, reducing the fall rate by more than 25 In the technological breakthrough of smart sensing mattresses, combined with the physiological micro-motion sensing technology developed by Furen Technology, it uses air pressure changes for physiological sensing and AI algorithms, so that caregivers do not need to replace the original mattress Place the smart sensing mattress with a thickness of less than 1 centimeter under the elder's original mattress, plug it in and connect it to the Internet Wait 3 minutes for the environment parameters to be automatically matched and set, and the pressure on the bed can begin to be accurately detected changes and interpret the actions and behaviors of the elderly For critically ill and long-term care recipients in nursing institutions, as well as the elderly and infants at home, Furen Technology has launched three versions of smart sensing mattresses, including the smart sensing mattress "Lite version", "standard version" and " Pro version" The Lite version entry-level version, combined with air pressure change sensing technology, can provide home caregivers with relevant identification functions to warn the elderly when leaving bed and inquire about daily routines The OTTALK home care bell APP can be downloaded through the mobile phone, and the caregiver can remotely Set the bed exit warning time and pay attention to the elderly's status of leaving the bed or not, and check the status of work and rest through the mobile phone The standard version, in addition to the bed exit alarm function, can provide caregivers with data measurement status of the elderly's heart rate and breathing during sleep through analog signal calculation technology For the Smart Sensing Mattress Pro version, a three-stage warning function of bed-sitting-up-leaving the bed is specially added, as well as sleep status records such as time in bed, hours in bed, hours of light sleep, hours of deep sleep, hours awake, and number of respiratory arrests and other information, hoping to provide better and more timely services to end customers In terms of business model, Furen Technology provides small-scale care units with a buyout system that integrates smart sensing mattress software technology In terms of cooperation with SI industry players, the company provides hardware equipment for integration and creates more promotion opportunities through SI channels For the empirical application of clinical trials, Furen Technology has currently cooperated with Taipei An'an Nursing Home to successively introduce smart sensing mattresses such as Lite, standard, Pro and other functional products into the care environment to provide diversified services for the elderly Intimate and convenient services of intelligent care During the cooperation process, since An'an Nursing Home is a small institution with a shortage of manpower, the bed exit warning function of the smart sensing mattress helps caregivers quickly remotely determine whether the elderly has left the bed or has fallen, effectively reducing the fall rate by more than 25 Through physiological micro-motion sensing technology, it can quickly help caregivers record the elderly's sleep status the previous night, creating a more convenient communication mode and information exchange mechanism between caregivers and family members In addition, the implementation of smart sensing mattresses can help nursing institutions obtain more positive evaluations in the evaluation Furen Technology develops smart sensing mattresses through physiological micro-motion sensing technology Smart sensing mattress voice AI recognition reduces the number of people sent to hospital for aspiration pneumonia to less than 5 of the overall number of cases Optimizing the voice AI recognition establishment mechanism has always been the goal of Furen Technology’s efforts to improve Luo Yilin said that he was very grateful to Furen Technology for having the opportunity to participate in the development plan of AI care services for respiratory diseases under the guidance of the Industrial Bureau and the Information Policy Council painting, and conducted field clinical demonstration at Puli Christian Hospital Through this project, not only the smart sensing mattress uses AI voice recognition and calculation technology to become more sophisticated, but also an AI training optimization framework is established to allow caregivers at Puli Christian Hospital to respond to the elderly’s upper respiratory tract-cough sounds and lower respiratory tract symptoms -The identification and warning performance of heartbeat and respiratory rate changes are more optimized, and the number of people sent to the hospital due to aspiration pneumonia in care institutions is effectively reduced to no more than 5 of the total number of cases in the month It is believed that with the integration of smart sensing mattresses and respiratory disease AI care services, the service is expected to spread to 5 domestic medical institutions this year Luo Yilin said excitedly that not only that, the smart sensing mattress has also been favored by Japanese dealers and conducted product testing In the next stage, business promotion in Japan will be launched Smart sensing mattress-assisted care institutions reduce the number of people sent to hospital due to aspiration pneumonia Create the integration of long-term care industry software, hardware and service ecosystem to make care simpler Although Furen Technology has only been established for 4 years, it took 9 years to complete product technology research and development Luo Yilin expressed his gratitude for supporting and recognizing the company's entrepreneurial philosophy despite limited manpower and resources The guidance and support of the distinguished people as well as the AI Industry Promotion Plan of the Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Corporate Information Strategy Council For a small start-up like Furen Technology, there are always challenges and learnings in terms of funding, technical issues, obtaining and processing of production materials and parts However, Huangtian pays off its hard work Driven by the ultimate goal of "making filial piety easier", Furen Technology strives to make smart sensing mattresses the first smart care product in Taiwan that uses air pressure sensing physiological information For the original intention of starting a business that emphasizes the orientation of social value, how to make smart sensing mattresses take into account social value while maintaining a win-win and balance of commercial interests is a strategic issue that Luo Yilin must carefully consider when operating the company's products and business development In the face of business layout, Furen Technology will work hard to stabilize operations and marketing operations in the near future to give back to investors and target customers who have supported the company for a long time In addition, Furen Technology is more active in international business development and product testing in Japan, Vietnam and Poland Regarding the mid-term planning, Luo Yilin believes that the care needs and services of the elderly cannot be completed independently by one industry Furen Technology looks forward to cooperating with more like-minded smart care industry players in the future By gathering the professional energy of each industry, we can build a complete Only with a diverse product chain mechanism can we work together to conquer domestic and foreign markets To this end, Luo Yilin hopes that the company can create an integration of the software, hardware and service ecosystem of the long-term care industry and realize its wish to make care simpler Looking forward to the future, Furen Technology will hope to move from long-term care to preventive medicine I believe that if preventive medicine is managed properly, it will definitely make a great contribution to saving the cost of long-term care Luo Yilin said that more importantly, it will help the elderly in their later life Halftime enjoys a more understanding quality of care and a bright and hopeful life Luo Yilin, CEO of Furen Technology「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only
