Hankyung.com introduces: MecKare, Leading the AI-powered Innovation in Health Monitoring Solution

Leave a comment

– Leading efficient care management for the elderly with unimpeded smartcare

https://img.hankyung.com/pdsdata/pr.hankyung.com/uploads/2024/11/image01-1.png

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — JCF Technology is a startup that independently developed ‘MecKare’, a radar sensor that measures biological signals in a non-contact manner, and provides a platform service that automatically connects users and guardians in two-way emergency situations through an artificial intelligence analysis system. Since its establishment in 2016, it has developed a highly accurate non-contact multi-biological radar sensor through many years of technology accumulation, and succeeded in commercializing the product for the first time in 2021.

MecKare uses microwave radar and micro-Doppler signal processing technology to measure the user’s heart rate, respiratory rate, and skin temperature within 16.4 ft in real time. The sensor can measure human body movement patterns using precise and highly responsive thermal infrared rays and can detect falls through pattern analysis based on changes in human movement. In particular, the movement and change of thermal infrared rays within the measurement range are detected in real time, and the trend of biomarkers that appear as advance signs before a person falls can be checked through differential motion detection that measures the user’s movement pattern. It provides an alarm in advance by predicting before a person falls, enabling accuracy and quick response to accidents. As a result, it is possible to prevent safety accidents in the elderly by detecting emergency situations such as lonely death, cardiac arrest, breathing difficulties, and falls. Additionally, unlike other existing wearable devices such as smart watches or bands, MecKare does not need to be worn or attached to the body, so it can be used remotely via Wi-Fi without causing stress to the user.

https://img.hankyung.com/pdsdata/pr.hankyung.com/uploads/2024/11/image02.png

MecKare can be installed in the bedroom, bathroom, living room, or entrance of a home or facilities(Assisted Living, Nursing Home, etc) to provide 24-hour monitoring without a camera and detect abnormal signs in advance using a biometric information analysis algorithm and deliver them to the guardian.

MecKare’s radar biometric sensor is recognized in the global market for its technology as a device that obtains precisely customized biometric information while overcoming spatial constraints and without risk of privacy infringement. MecKare is being supplied to senior care facilities in Australia, Germany, Poland, Saudi Arabia, and China. In 2025, MecKare plans to conduct verification of vital signs such as attendance, fall prevention, and asthma of elderly people living in hospitals or assisted living in conjunction with local PPOs/HMOs in the United States.

In summary, MecKare is a system that reduces user inconvenience and enables management of multiple patients. By being able to provide personalized health data analysis results, it will serve as an opportunity to change the market paradigm towards preventive smart care. We expect MecKare’s A.I to play a role as an innovator that complements, rather than replaces, humans in care settings.

All you need to know about the OPPO Enco X3i

Leave a comment

Following the success of their previous TWS offerings, OPPO has unveiled the latest addition to their lineup – the OPPO Enco X3i. Designed for users seeking premium sound quality without breaking the bank, these earbuds boast an impressive array of features and technical specifications. Let’s delve deeper into what the Enco X3i has to offer.

Immersive Audio Experience: Dual Drivers and Hi-Res Audio Support

The heart of the Enco X3i lies in its integrated coaxial design featuring dual dynamic drivers. This industry-leading setup utilizes a 10.4mm woofer and a 6mm tweeter, working in tandem to minimize distortion and deliver a well-balanced, immersive soundscape. The frequency response range spans from 15Hz to 40kHz, ensuring impactful bass, clear highs, and crisp vocals for an elevated listening experience.

Oppo Enco X3i 9

Further enhancing audio quality, the Enco X3i supports the LHDC 5.0 Bluetooth codec. This technology enables high-fidelity audio transmission with low latency over Bluetooth, earning the Enco X3i the Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification – a testament to its exceptional audio capabilities.

Tailored Listening and 3D Audio Immersion

Enco X3i Inner Structure Dual Driver RGB 20231124

OPPO takes audio personalization a step further with the introduction of Golden Sound 2.0 on the Enco X3i. Through a quick audio test, the earbuds generate a personalized profile and fine-tune the sound output to your unique hearing preferences. This ensures you get a tailored listening experience optimized for your ears.

But the Enco X3i doesn’t stop there. It also boasts OPPO Alive Audio, a proprietary technology that utilizes algorithms and head-related transfer function (HRTF) data to simulate 3D spatial audio. This creates a sense of depth and dimension, enveloping you in a truly immersive soundscape regardless of the device or audio source you’re using.

Active Noise Cancellation for Undisturbed Audio Bliss

Background noise can be a major enemy of a good listening experience. The Enco X3i addresses this with its TÜV Rheinland-certified intelligent noise cancellation technology. This system boasts an ultra-wide frequency range of 4,000Hz and can achieve a noise cancellation depth of up to 49 dB. This allows you to block out both low-frequency rumbles like traffic and high-pitched sounds from instruments, letting you fully focus on your music or calls.

Smart-Scene Noise Cancellation further enhances the Enco X3i’s functionality. Utilizing three built-in microphones and intelligent algorithms, it detects ambient noise and automatically selects the most suitable noise-cancellation mode. Transparency Mode, for example, allows you to stay aware of your surroundings while still enjoying your audio content, adding a layer of safety and convenience. Additionally, call noise cancellation and wind noise cancellation algorithms filter out unwanted sounds during calls, ensuring clear and stable communication.

Enco X3i ANC RGB 20231124

Seamless Connectivity and Lag-Free Performance

The OPPO Enco X3i leverages Bluetooth 5.3 for lightning-fast transmission of high-fidelity audio. This translates to a low full-chain latency of just 94ms, ideal for a lag-free gaming experience where sound and visuals are perfectly synchronized.

Compatible with Android, iOS, and Windows devices, the earbuds seamlessly switch between smartphones, tablets, and laptops, boosting your productivity. Google Fast Pair further simplifies pairing for Android users, ensuring a truly versatile experience.

Intuitive Controls, Durable Design, and Extended Playback

Touch-sensitive areas on the stems offer intuitive control over the Enco X3i. With a simple swipe up or down, you can adjust the volume for a personalized listening experience.

Durability is another key feature. The earbuds boast an IP55 dust and water resistance rating, making them suitable for everyday use and even handling sweaty workouts or light rain.

The Enco X3i delivers impressive battery life. A single charge offers up to 10 hours of continuous playback with noise cancellation disabled. When combined with the charging case, the total listening time extends to a remarkable 44 hours. And if you’re short on time, a quick 10-minute Fast Charge provides up to seven hours of playback, ensuring you never miss a beat.

Stylish Design and Comfortable Fit

The Enco X3i comes in two elegant colour options: Electric Blue and Meteor Grey.15 Both flaunt a sleek and modern aesthetic with a metallic coating and matte finish. The charging case features a rounded rectangle body and an anti-smudge coating for a comfortable grip.
