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

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

Looking around the world and in Taiwan, the number of patients suffering from vertigo is increasing year by year When faced with vertigo testing, most people will choose to have it diagnosed by a doctor or hospitalized with neuromedical imaging tools such as MRI or CT for interpretation However, this may lead to misdiagnosis of vertigo, overdiagnosis of patients, waste of medical resources, etc, and cannot be effectively traced back The actual condition of the patient's dizziness In order to solve the long-term clinical pain point of vertigo, Neurobit has developed a smart wearable medical device - NeuroSpeed smart glasses and an AI assistance system It provides an AI smart solution for rapid screening of vertigo, assisting doctors in quickly screening more than 80 of brain diseases Efficient detection power with accuracy and sensitivity of over 90 Neuron Technology was founded in 2016 The co-founders include Yang Juncheng, Chen Weicheng, Huang Jinxun and Wang Jingfu The four of them were studying at the National Taiwan University Medical Engineering Institute and the Creative Entrepreneurship Program to jointly offer the "Biomedical Innovation and Commercialization" course Next, let’s embark on the entrepreneurial journey together The core team members of Neuron Technology are mainly composed of cross-field experts in medical engineering, information technology, neurology, patents, business, etc The common entrepreneurial concept is to continuously explore and explore unsolved pain points in medical clinical practice Seeing that patients were suffering from vertigo, Neuron Technology invented and independently developed an efficient and practical wearable smart medical device, NeuroSpeed Smart Glasses, which combines hardware AI-assisted decision-making system software to provide an AI smart solution for rapid dizziness screening Neuron Technology CEO Yang Juncheng said that the proportion of people in Taiwan and the world who suffer from vertigo is very high In Taiwan, as many as 3 of the people about 700,000 suffer from vertigo, while in the United States, about 1,000 people suffer from vertigo Tens of thousands of people go to see a doctor due to vertigo From the data, it can be seen that the vertigo medical care market is quite huge Regarding rapid screening for vertigo diagnosis in the clinic, current rapid screening tools in hospitals mainly use neurological examinations, and most of them are processed through questionnaire-type scales The diagnosis will rely too much on the patient's chief complaint and the doctor's experience judgment, and lacks quantitative indicators, resulting in Misdiagnosis of vertigo and loss of golden treatment time For patients with vertigo who are admitted to the emergency department, medical diagnosis in the past relied heavily on neuromedical imaging tools such as computed tomography CT or magnetic resonance imaging MRI After observation, it was found that the equipment was insufficient In the United States, the number of patients admitted to the emergency department Less than 3 of the population can receive immediate MRI diagnosis, and less than 50 can receive CT diagnosis However, excessive use of CT or MRI diagnosis may lead to overdiagnosis and treatment of patients, and even waste of medical resources In order to help vertigo patients accurately and efficiently screen and triage and reduce over-diagnosis in clinics and emergency rooms, NeuroSpeed Smart Glasses, a wearable smart medical device developed by Neuron Technology, is believed to have a great impact on the overall application of medical resources and patient diagnosis and treatment It is very helpful Yang Juncheng said that if it is not necessary to use MRI to track the diagnosis, this device can be used as a rapid screening test before the existing MRI neuroimaging tools and after the patient is admitted to the hospital, reducing over-diagnosis of patients NeuroSpeed's examination method is to quickly screen for nystagmus to identify patients with potential brain diseases The examination method of this technology is to observe the trembling state of the eyes and a series of eye movements when the subject is staring at a stationary object, so as to judge Brain risks for appropriate diagnosis and treatment NeuroSPeed smart glasses can crack brain and eye diseases, clinical trial sensitivity reaches 90 With the active research and development of Neuron Technology, two generations of NeuroSpeed smart glasses have been successfully launched The first generation NeuroSpeed mainly provides doctors with real-time observation of high-quality eye images and eye movement response-related examination data reference, and does not provide auxiliary diagnosis services The second generation of NeuroSpeed allows physicians to record, track, store and view relevant eye movement analysis and pupil area identification, thereby effectively diagnosing diseases of the central, meridian and peripheral nervous systems Because the second-generation NeuroSpeed product has the function of assisting doctors in analysis and diagnosis, it has been classified as a Class II medical device in the United States and must be certified by the US FDA before it can be sold externally At this stage, this product has completed pre-submission and will be submitted for review after the biocompatibility test is completed It is expected that the second generation NeuroSpeed will successfully obtain US FDA certification next year In terms of actual verification fields, NeuroSpeed has currently cooperated with New Taipei Shuanghe Hospital and Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital for clinical verification Its clinical results have confirmed the classification judgment of central nervous system diseases such as stroke and other vestibular system diseases With the addition of NeuroSpeed Smart glasses are designed to be lightweight and easy to carry, detect quickly and easily, and have the functional characteristics of automatic interpretation They can effectively assist doctors in quickly screening for potential brain disease risks in patients with vertigo Field verification with foreign medical centers mainly involves vertigo patients admitted to the emergency department Physicians can use NeuroSpeed smart devices to interpret the phenomenon of stroke diagnosis Currently, the accuracy of clinical trials in the above-mentioned cooperative hospitals reaches 80 and the sensitivity reaches 90 Neuron Technology develops smart wearable medical device NeuroSpeed smart glasses In addition to becoming the best smart medical assistant for doctors to quickly screen brain disease risks in the clinic and emergency department, NeuroSpeed smart glasses also assist doctors in the detection and assessment of strabismus risk They are jointly developed with the Tri-Service General Hospital through neuron technology The "Portable Strabismus and Abnormal Eye Movement Diagnosis System" is implemented in the Tri-Service General Hospital, providing doctors with a complete preoperative assessment of strabismus and postoperative tracking basis This excellent RD technology achievement was recognized by the 17th National Innovation Award-Clinical Innovation Award in 2020 We know that many diseases can cause congenital or acquired eye movement abnormalities, and even cause symptoms of strabismus or nystagmus Among them, as for strabismus, according to expert physician consultation surveys, the global prevalence of strabismus among school-age children is 2 5, while the prevalence of strabismus among school-age children in Taiwan is about 1 to 4 Yang Juncheng said that clinical diagnosis of the symptoms of these diseases is mainly divided into two categories deviation measurement of eye position and eye movement test It has been observed that there is currently a lack of objective quantitative methods for diagnosing eyeball position deviation, and eyeball deviation measuring instruments are used to check subjectively For Neuron Technology, the current NeuroSpeed instrument and strabismus and abnormal eye movement diagnosis system software can integrate objective and clear eyeball images, eye muscle function and eye deviation angle data as a rapid test that meets clinical diagnostic criteria Service, the data of these tests can be used as the basis for doctors’ complete preoperative assessment and postoperative tracking of strabismus Therefore, this system can provide objective and effective quantitative analysis, which can greatly reduce the medical risks of patients during surgery In terms of business model, Neuron Technology mainly cooperates with hospitals to sell research-based products It is believed that the company expects to have significant revenue performance after passing the FDA next year At present, Neuron Technology will use the country's first wearable smart medical device NeuroSpeed smart glasses and AI assistance system to provide software and hardware integrated solutions to assist doctors in quickly screening brain diseases and eye diseases, extending patients' golden treatment time and reducing social risks health care costs to create a triple win NeuroSpeed smart glasses assist doctors in quickly screening brain and eye diseases Looking at the world, the pioneer of smart medical equipment, a new paradigm of biomedical software and hardware system integration In the early days of Neuron Technology’s entrepreneurship, technology research and development and business expansion faced many challenges Yang Juncheng expressed his sentiments that since the NeuroSpeed product is the first medical smart glasses developed in China, both in terms of obtaining hardware raw materials and developing technical specifications, The challenges associated with building and integrating related systems are higher than those for consumer electronics Additionally, bringing together cross-disciplinary talent and integrating it into a core team is also an entrepreneurial challenge In terms of business development, although the company has accumulated clinical verification results and published related outputs, the establishment of market channels still requires continuous efforts to expand It is hoped that it can continue to rely on the assistance of legal persons such as the Capital Strategy Council to actively create more diversified market channels and connect potential Cooperating manufacturers In order to accelerate international expansion and market operation exchanges, the company will conduct a new round of fundraising planning at this stage to meet development Since its establishment, Neuron Technology has taken long-term development and stable profits as its operating goals Yang Juncheng said that in addition to focusing on existing professional fields, we also develop and apply value-added products through the company's software development and software development The accumulated RD energy of hard integration is expanded to other medical disciplines and fields Yang Juncheng hopes that Neuron Technology can become a pioneer in smart medical equipment, with research and development oriented to meet the needs of users and patients, and also hopes to become a model for the integration of biomedical software and hardware systems For the medium and long-term layout, the company will promote industry-university exchanges and cultivate biomedical talents integrate upstream and downstream industry resources to create smart medical solutions and platforms and actively explore foreign sales markets such as the United States and Europe as a basis for sustainable development of the company Vision 「Translated content is generated by
