Wireless Monitoring Deep Body Clinical Thermometer

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2510E11] ChoisTechnology Co., Ltd. has expanded its business into the wireless medical device field since 2013 and launched Thermosafer, the first wireless smart thermometer in Korea to receive medical device certification. Following this, the company developed a comprehensive patient monitoring system including a disposable patch monitoring thermometer that can be used in hospitals and other medical institutions; an electrocardiograph capable of real-time wireless monitoring; a pulse oximeter (SPO2); and a respiratory monitoring device ― as well as high-precision sensors for temperature, humidity, noise, and gas, etc.
Since then, ChoisTechnology has been unveiling a disposable patch monitoring thermometer that can be used in hospitals and other medical institutions; an electrocardiograph capable of real-time wireless monitoring; an oxygen saturation measuring device (SPO2); a comprehensive patient monitoring system including a respiratory monitoring system; and a customized wireless environment monitoring system using high-precision sensors such as temperature, humidity, noise, and gas.

Wireless monitoring deep body clinical thermometer, XST600
Most thermometers that measure existing skin temperature can have serious measurement reliability errors, depending on the measurement method and environment. In other words, reliable body temperature measurements were mainly possible when taken by experts. In addition, existing body temperature measurements only indicate instantaneous temperature, making it difficult to measure and record changes in body temperature over a continuous period.

ChoisTechnology’s wireless monitoring deep body clinical thermometer, Thermosafer XST600, can continuously measure core temperature using ‘Heat Flux’ technology. A wearable core thermometer attached to the forehead allows measurement and continuous monitoring through a smart device. It is also possible to sound an alarm according to the set temperature range. When linked to a subscription service, it is also possible to monitor patients from a remote location.
Compared to existing thermometers, Thermosafer XST600 can easily measure core temperature, so it is expected to be used in various areas such as operating rooms, emergency rooms, pediatrics, and infectious disease diagnosis. Additionally, it can be used for various kinds of research and experiments, such as prognosis and prevention for cancer patients, by continuously monitoring body temperature.

New-concept Wireless Presenter

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2510E10] ChoisTechnology Co., Ltd. is an IoMT specialized company established in 2001. It is also a specialized Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) manufacturer with 47 years of business experience.
As a market leader in the wireless presenter market based on its own wireless and sensor technology, ChoisTechnology is leading the market by launching new products incorporating new technologies.

New-concept wireless presenter, ImagePointer
ImagePointer has received much popularity since its launch, and has established itself as a steady seller. Rather than using the pointer’s laser light from outside the monitor like a conventional pointer, ImagePointer creates an image of the pointer on the computer screen and can be used on any screen, thus solving the problem of existing laser presenters that are difficult to use on LCD and LED screens. Thus, it is a new-concept presenter.
In particular, models without lasers are gaining great popularity in the market as safe presenters that anyone can purchase and use, unlike general laser pointers, which are restricted for purchase by those under the age of 19 years.

Reflecting consumers’ feedback, ChoisTechnology launched a new model, XPM180Y, which contains only the necessary functions and is easy to use. The product has been improved so that anyone can use it easily and conveniently with simple instructions. Additionally, in standby mode, when the USB receiver dongle is plugged into the transmitter, the power is completely cut off, thereby improving efficiency.
In addition, ChoisTechnology launched the Duo Saver, a set product, providing differentiated results based upon ChoisTechnology’s advanced technology. DuoSaver includes a multi-pointing function that can be used in a work environment with many people, such as presentations or meetings, by connecting multiple ImagePointers to a single PC. It can be used not only in small meetings but also in non-face-to-face video conferences and large lectures.

Smart Cigarette-vending Machine

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2510E04] SOYNET Co, Ltd. recently introduced its advanced cigarette-vending machine equipped with facial recognition technology.
SOYNET’s smart cigarette-vending machine applies facial recognition technology to compare and confirm the purchaser’s actual face with the face on the mobile ID, thus blocking the possibility of the illegal purchase by minors one more time at the time of the last purchase. This is the result of observing and studying how sellers visually compare ID cards with buyers during actual face-to-face sales.
The smart cigarette-vending machine that SOYNET launched this time uses the SoyFace model, which has obtained KISA bio-recognition system performance test certification, to be lightweight and accelerated using SoyNet, its AI execution optimization technology, on the kiosk’s operating board (Windows operating system, CPU environment) – and it thus can handle face detection, feature point extraction, and fake face discrimination.
This tech development has reduced GPU cloud costs, improved user experience with faster response speeds, and made it possible to easily apply the technology to other industrial areas that require AI services to run on low-end devices.

A spokesperson for the company explained, “This is the first smart cigarette-vending machine capable of facial recognition in Korea,” adding, “We have granted temporary permission through the regulatory sandbox. Once permission is granted, the user experience can be significantly modified.”
SOYNET is an AI infrastructure specialist company established in 2018. SOYNET is also developing accelerated and lightweight inference engines and MLOps as well as customer domain-based AI solutions.

Korea’s ICT Companies Actively Releasing New Items

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

Boosting the nation’s export growth

Korea’s exports in September this year increased by over 12% compared to those of the same month of the previous year. According to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE), exports last month totaled $65.95 billion (approximately KRW 93 trillion), a 12.7% increase year-on-year.
Exports increased for 10 of the 15 major export items, including semiconductors and automobiles.
Semiconductor exports, in particular, continued their record high in September, following August, driven by strong demand for high-value-added memory, particularly for artificial intelligence (AI) servers. However, exports of petrochemicals and steel decreased by 2.8% and 4.2%, respectively, compared to the previous year due to declining export prices.
Display exports, which had been sluggish, rose by 1.3% to $1.92 billion. This growth was driven by the expanded adoption of OLED panels in IT devices and a partial recovery in demand from downstream industries such as mobile phones and laptops.

Korean exporters are ceaselessly developing and releasing competitive new items, which are expected to capture keen attention in global markets. In particular, Korea’s ICT companies are actively releasing new attractive, innovative items targeting global markets.
For example, SOYNET Co, Ltd. recently introduced its advanced cigarette e-vending machine equipped with facial recognition technology.

In addition, AETECH developed the artificial intelligence (AI) robot ‘Atron’ for waste-sorting work and succeeded in commercializing it for the first time in Korea. Currently, it has installed more than 12 Atrons in domestic recycling sorting facilities.
SKIA recently introduced SKIA_OPD, which uses augmented reality (AR) to educate patients about pathological phenomena, surgery, and treatment progress.
