New Zealand team creates world-first innovation in the fight against Coronavirus

Leave a comment

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Jan. 23, 2021 — Datamine, a New Zealand based AI company, has created ëlarm: a personal early warning indicator for viral infection, including Coronavirus. The ëlarm system overcomes what is arguably our greatest obstacle – viral spread by asymptomatic people who do not know they are infectious. By developing personal baselines of biometric data from smartphones and other wearables (such as Fitbit, Apple Watch and Samsung), ëlarm detects changes to those individual baselines that fit COVID-19 patterns – changes that occur as the body begins fighting viral infection.

"With ëlarm, you can know you’re sick before you feel sick," says ëlarm CEO and founding director of Datamine, Paul O’Connor.

Operating in New Zealand since June 2020, the ëlarm system has been developed to detect Coronavirus cases up to three days before people know they have the lethal virus."Based on our New Zealand success and the extensive data we’ve gathered from clinicians around the world, ëlarm is an accurate predictor of viral symptoms," Mr O’Connor says.

For more information: https://elarm.health/

While ëlarm is not a test and does not provide medical advice, the system alerts users to biometric changes that indicate viral infection and provides relevant World Health Organisation and CDC guidelines. This enables people to proactively get tested and self-isolate before any symptoms appear. This helps prevent the spread of viral infection to loved ones, communities, and workmates.

As opposed to developing technology based on specific smartwatches, ëlarm is ‘device agnostic.’ As a software service, ëlarm can use data from a growing list of wearable devices, and is available worldwide.

"When Covid-19 emerged, we had already created a vault where personal health and wearables data is safely stored and analyzed. We saw that we had the expertise and technology to make a substantial contribution in the fight against Coronavirus," Mr O’Connor explains. "With new Coronavirus strains and possible further mutations, the urgency is to slow the spread of the virus through our global population until a vaccine is available." 

Professor Michael Baker, one of New Zealand’s leading epidemiologists, says there are many useful applications for this technology. "It’s very encouraging that New Zealand is producing exciting innovations of new surveillance tools for tracking people who are potentially infected by Coronavirus and other infectious agents." 

ëlarm is available via the Apple Store and Google Play at www.elarm.health

A new, unprecedented solution for human behavior analysis

Leave a comment

Herta launches a new advanced facial expression analysis solution for the study of human behavior in videos

BARCELONA, Spain, Jan. 20, 2021 — Herta is thrilled to announce the launch of our new video analysis solution, BioObserver. This sophisticated software will mark a significant change in the study of human behaviour and facial expression analysis.

Based on advanced artificial intelligence techniques, BioObserver automatically detects and annotates a person’s facial expressions and micro-expressions, as well as the direction of the gaze and head orientation, in order to monitor behavioral metrics such as affective states or the individual’s level of attention. The platform also allows to configure automatic rules and annotations of events to extract keyframes of the video that are considered of interest. With BioObserver you can detect subtle micro-expressions such as "frowning," "blinking," or "raising eyebrows," according to the Facial Action Coding System by Paul Ekman. The tool offers the possibility to work at a very low level. Then, the combination of some micro-expressions may form a higher-level prototypic facial emotion (such as joy, anger, sadness, fear, surprise…) which can be configured in the software as well.

This new solution has been co-created together with key end-customers from the law enforcement sector, resulting on a user-friendly, intuitive and time-saving tool that any interviewer would love. The solution is being offered on a SaaS model and will give the customer the possibility to process hours of video, extremely fast and at a very affordable cost.

“Alchera Is Leaping Higher as a Global Leader,” Presenting Future Strategies Just Before Being Listed on KOSDAQ

Leave a comment

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 18, 2020 — Alchera, an AI image recognition startup and a member company of Born2Global Centre, has revealed its strategy and vision just before being listed on the KOSDAQ market as of December 21.

Alchera CI
Alchera CI

Alchera provides a complete solution that covers collecting and editing of large-capacity image data, deep learning, AI engine optimization, and creation of dedicated solutions. The solution has secured an unrivaled position among major domestic customers as it excels in facial recognition, augmented reality (AR), anomaly detection, and data business.

Alchera’s core competitiveness lies in its source technology for artificial intelligence facial recognition and anomaly detection. Alchera’s AI can recognize not only human expressions but also subtle abnormal signs of objects with an accuracy of 99% or more. Instant recognition is also available.

The company has achieved grade A standards in both a technical evaluation by eCredible Co., Ltd., a specialized rating service provider, and an evaluation by Korea Enterprise Data Co., Ltd. Alchera’s technological excellence has been shown when their technology was successfully applied to Shinhan Face Pay, known as Korea’s first facial recognition payment system

Image recognition technology is being used in various industrial fields. Since this was first applied to the Snow Camera in 2016, it has been applied to Incheon International Airport’s Automated Immigration System, the Passport Information Comprehensive Administration System of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the passport counterfeit detection system of the Korean financial industry, and the fire monitoring system of KEPCO. The company achieved a high level of market recognition as a result of its successfully established references.

Alchera recently launched a facial recognition-based entry control system with its own algorithm called Alchera ACS that has aggressively entered domestic and international markets. Following the KC and CE certifications, the system is waiting for certification from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

Young-kyoo Hwang, CTO of Alchera, said, "In the non-face-to-face era and a trend of non-contact service, AI image recognition technology is attracting attention as an optimization solution in various areas including payment and public services, financial industry, medical services, entry control, and security services. The company expects a steep increase in sales in the future due to Alchera’s source technology being a strong barrier to entry for overseas competitors who have yet to produce a similar product." He added, "The listing on the KOSDAQ is expected to be a turning point for Alchera to leap higher". He also mentioned, "We will do our best to transform into a global AI image recognition company that leads trends in various industries thanks to our overwhelmingly innovative technology."

Transforming the Future of Digital Health Management – Enjoy a More Fulfilling Life With Zepp

Leave a comment

SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 23, 2020 — Zepp (pronounced /zep/), a professional brand focused on digital health management, recently hosted a live streaming event to introduce Zepp brand, as well as launch its latest wearable, the Zepp Z. 

Zepp Brand Information
Zepp Brand Information

The Zepp brand was founded in Silicon Valley in 2010 and quickly became the go-to brand for athletes looking to improve their performance. Now in 2020, Zepp is transforming itself. Zepp has already commenced an exciting new chapter, with personalized health management as its mission. Powered by its belief in the role human-centered technology can play in self-improvement, Zepp is leveraging the potential of the Internet of Things, AI technologies, devices and apps that help people manage their health and wellbeing.

Zepp is a dynamic brand transforming personal health management

Zepp, the brand, grew from concept of using technology for self improvement and personal health management in order to enjoy a more fulfilling life every day. The Zepp brand tagline is "With you every moment".

The Σ that appears in the logo is based on the Greek letter, sigma, which is a mathematical symbol representing summation. Mathematics requires precision and discipline, and so the inclusion of sigma expresses Zepp’s focus on connection and precision in a simple and direct way. This aligns perfectly with Zepp’s brand concept and values.

Zepp is supported by smart technology, that relies on precise data analysis and strict algorithms. For Zepp wearable users, the Σ signifies the continuous analysis of biological data regarding their health and activity, which is then presented to them through a simple and easy-to-understand personalized evaluation system.

While sister-brand Amazfit will remain focused on wearables, Zepp is becoming a health management brand with a broader vision to care for more aspects of health and  wellbeing using cutting-edge technology and new platforms.

Zepp is your smart health partner that puts you in control

Zepp is building a high-end health management brand that is actively involved in research and also offers consumers outstanding industrial design, advanced processing and craftsmanship that will take smartwatches and personal health management to a new level. Zepp will use its advanced health and medical technology to redefine the significance of smart wearable devices. Ultimately, Zepp aims to transform wearables from being seen as "accessories" to becoming reliable health partners, helping a growing number of people to manage and take control of their personal wellbeing.

Zepp invests in research, technology and global collaboration

The extraordinary user experience and powerful and precise health management service that Zepp provides comes from its advanced technology, support from respected experts, dedicated professionals, and expanding partnerships with world-class organizations.

Through rigorous research and experimentation, the team has made remarkable progress in tracking and analyzing various types of biological data. In June, the team announced the official launch of the advanced self-owned PPG bio-tracking optical sensor, BioTracker™ 2 (which currently supports five biological data engines), ExerSense™[1], RealBeats™[2] 2, PAI™ Health Assessment System[3], OxygenBeats™[4] and SomnusCare™[5]. Meanwhile, the Huangshan-2 AI chip, featuring even higher computing efficiency and lower power consumption, made its debut only 450 days after the launch of the first generation. These will guarantee Zepp’s relentless pursuit of all aspects of new technologies, devices, apps and services.

Another example is the Zepp App, a platform for managing personal health and wellbeing that connects Zepp and Amazfit wearables with cloud services. Available on both Android and iOS devices, analysis, through the Zepp App, results are integrated and presented interactively with ease. People can take control of their health and fitness activities, and also effectively manage other aspects of their daily routine that contribute to improved wellbeing.

By partnering with organizations and institutions around the world, Zepp has been involved with far-reaching research that could help people stay healthy and perform better.

Earlier this year, the team supported and published the scientific research paper, "Learning from Large-scale Wearable Device Data for Predicting Epidemics Trends of COVID-19", which provided accurate predictions of COVID-19 trends in Spain and Italy. The research team also worked with China’s epidemic prevention team formed by Zhong Nanshan, the doctor who led China through both SARS and COVID-19, to explore the effects of respiratory rehabilitation on quality of life for COVID patients.

In June 2020, the team established an AI research institute which is led and consulted by renowned AI industry experts and professors from prestigious universities. Currently, the institute focuses on the study of respiratory health management, athletic performance and neuroscience, and will serve as the engine for future technological innovation. Its exciting research results will be utilized to enhance Zepp’s abilities.

The team has also partnered with Silicon Valley-based AliveCor, the leader in AI-based personal ECG technology, to develop entirely new ECG devices to detect heart arrhythmias. In the meantime, the team is also working with the Stanford University Sleep Center to study the effect of sleep on the physical recovery of sick patients, and on otherwise healthy people.

The future of Zepp

Zepp will remain focused on smart wearable consumer products for the short-term future. However, Zepp will continue to diversify its products and services as well as exploring research and technology that pertain to all aspects of life. This will help Zepp to realize its vision of creating a comprehensive health management brand, available to everyone that helps people enjoy a more fulfilling life.

Elegant Design with Impressive Technology

Available with either a stainless steel or black aluminum alloy case, the Amazfit GTR 2 has a classic look, featuring a round 1.39-inch AMOLED display with crafted 3D curved glass that’s clear and easy to read. The slim Amazfit GTS 2 has a rectangular 1.65-inch AMOLED screen and is available with either a midnight black, desert gold or urban grey aluminum alloy case plus matching strap.

Both watch displays are made from 3D Corning Gorilla glass with optical Diamond-like Carbon (oDLC) and anti-fingerprint coatings, which makes the screen exceptionally strong, more resistant to scratches and easy to keep clean. A fully rotatable screen makes the watches equally comfortable whether you are lefthanded or righthanded.

All-round Health & Fitness Management[2] Features

The Amazfit GTR 2 and Amazfit GTS 2 offer high-precision heart rate monitoring. Equipped with the BioTracker™ 2 PPG optical sensor, which tracks your heart rate 24/7, it monitors your resting heart rate, heart rate zones and provides you with abnormal heart rate warnings, to better understand your heart health.

The BioTracker™ 2 PPG also supports OxygenBeats™[3] to measure blood-oxygen saturation. When engaged in long-term mental work, or physical activity such as participating in marathons or high-intensity outdoor sports, if you feel uncomfortable then you can measure your current blood-oxygen level in order to quickly understand your physical state, and keep your health firmly in your hands.

Sleep quality monitoring[4] ensures optimal performance and these Amazfit smartwatches monitor your sleep and makes it easier to understand your sleep patterns and improve sleep quality. Once synchronized to the app you can learn more about how long you spend in light and deep sleep stages, including the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep stage, and even daytime naps[5].

Both smartwatches feature the innovative PAI™ Health Assessment System[6] that turns your heart rate data, tracked activities and other health data into a PAI score that lets you understand your physical well-being at a glance.

Both the Amazfit GT 2 series watches support stress monitoring that help you balance your stress levels.

Staying healthy means staying active, so the Amazfit GTR 2 and Amazfit GTS 2 include 12 popular sports modes[7] that are easy to activate any time you start exercising. Record distance, speed, heart rate changes, calories burned, and other exercise data during your workouts.

The Amazfit GT 2 watches have about 3GB of local music storage so you can listen to music without your phone. With the addition of haptic vibration that delivers customizable haptic feedback when you receive calls or get notifications.

When you take your watch off a wear detection function will lock the watch to protect your privacy and you can add a password for extra security.

With a built-in microphone and speaker, these smartwatches let you take phone calls thanks to its Bluetooth call feature.

New Generation GT Watches Make Life Smarter, More Efficient and More Fun

Now you’ve got voice control, here’s where the GT 2 watches get super smart. With Amazon Alexa built-in you can ask questions, search for information, get translations, create shopping lists, set alarms, timers and reminders, check the weather, control smart home devices and more. You can talk to the Amazfit GTR 2 and Amazfit GTS 2 and Alexa will respond to your voice commands with text responses on screen. For example, just say,

  • "Alexa set a timer."
  • "Alexa add eggs to my shopping list."
  • "Alexa turn on the living room lights."
  • "Alexa how’s the weather today?"

Alexa lives in the cloud, so it’s always getting smarter, adding new capabilities that are delivered to your device.

An offline voice control feature also lets you perform voice operations on your watch even without Internet access, including turning on sports modes, heart rate tracking and more.

The long battery life of the GT 2 series watches means they will be with you on your journey every day of the week.
