Surgical Navigation Solution

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

[INQ. NO. 2310E02] Decasight recently introduced a surgical navigation solution at a domestic exhibition. The solution can display information on the display using vision artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
The solution can play an auxiliary role, such as tracking surgical tools inserted into a patient’s body. The display can be replaced with a head mount to increase usability. The solution is also equipped with an Augmented Reality (AR) surgical practice function to improve proficiency.
“Automated surgical robots will be available in the next 10 to 15 years,” a spokesperson for the company said, adding “The solution can be used for machine learning to monitor actual doctors’ surgical procedures.”

Cataract Surgery Test Equipment

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

[INQ. NO. 2310E01] Huvitz Corp., a healthcare medical device company, recently launched ‘HBM-1,’ an optical biometry device that provides optimized workflow for cataract surgery.
HBM-1 is a 2-in-1 device that integrates optical biometry and corneal topography into one, measures 10 tests at once, and calculates accurate IOL power values through various formulas, thereby providing optimal workflow for cataract surgery.
Proven light-interference technology accurately measures four biometric values for cataract surgery, thus making it possible to obtain highly reliable data without deviation due to skill level. In addition, various combinations of patient conditions, IOL brands, types, and formulas can be compared and prescribed, and premium lens prescriptions that can correct astigmatism, myopia, and presbyopia are also possible.

In addition, the built-in myopia management program allows for a wide range of uses, from monitoring to regular management. By monitoring the patient’s vision history — including changes in axial length (AL) and refraction, diagnosing glasses, and dream lenses, comparing changes before and after prescription, and checking anisometropia — one can track changes in the patient’s ocular health status and establish a long-term treatment plan.
Another advantage is the realization of a user-centered inspection environment. It can be easily linked with DICOM to enable analysis of patient test data from various devices. Additionally, it has a built-in PC, so one can check everything from measurements to analysis reports on the LCD screen without a separate PC, which not only reduces treatment time but also increases inspection efficiency.
Huvitz expects that HBM-1, which offers speed, accuracy, convenience, and price competitiveness, will become a new alternative to cataract inspection equipment.

Air Ventilation System

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

[INQ. NO. 2309E28] HIMPEL Co. Ltd., as an indoor air quality (IAQ) specialist company, manufactures excellent ventilation products to enable healthy indoor life by supplying healthy and comfortable air, with the mission of ‘contributing to human health through air and energy technology.’
HIMPEL, selected by a government agency as a company with excellent quality competitiveness, is a leading ventilation company and is expanding its market, building a wide range of delivery performance and the best professional networks — not only with consumers but also with excellent domestic construction companies.

Customized air solutions
Huven C is a customized air solution that provides comfortable and clean air 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. It removes bad indoor air and fills the space with fresh air, creating a comfortable and healthy living space where one can always breathe comfortably.

Purifying the outside air & bringing it in
While air purifiers continuously circulate and recycle indoor air, HIMPEL’s Huven C ventilation system exhausts polluted indoor air to the outside, and cleanly purifies the air from outside and draws it in.
Purifying indoor air has the disadvantage of not being able to improve carbon dioxide levels, so that is why fresh air from outside must be introduced.
To lower carbon dioxide levels, one needs to open windows and ventilate, but there are disadvantages to doing this, such as allowing in fine dust, pollen, and causing energy loss. If natural ventilation is difficult, one can use Huven C to mechanically ventilate and filter out impurities in the air, while conserving indoor energy through a waste heat recovery device.
