Analyzing vitals through face recognition, Japanese and Taiwanese start-ups partnering up in health risk management DX.

PLEN Robotics Inc (Headquarters: Osaka, Japan; President: Natsuo Akazawa; hereinafter "PLEN Robotics"), SS SAICHI Corporation (Headquarters: Nishio, Aichi, Japan; President: Takumi Sugiura; hereinafter "SS SAICHI") announce to have agreed on a business alliance based on technical cooperation with Super Genius AI tek Co: Ltd. (headquarters in New Taipei City, Taiwan; CEO: Hong-Ren Suh; hereinafter "SGAItek") to develop a new kind of health management services based on image analysis. In more concrete terms, PLEN Cube, a camera device featuring a cutting-edge face recognition AI system developed by PLEN Robotics,  will be equipped with SGAItek's image analysis program, FACARE. This software is able to capture changes in blood vessels from approximately 8 seconds of a person's face image data. Through AI analysis, we can then measure physiological parameters such as respiration pace, heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen level. This will enable never seen before, contactless and speedy DX health management services. We trully believe and hope, that this service will be of use in a wide range of fields such as nursing care and construction sites.

Measurement

■AI Assistant "PLEN Cube

PLEN Cube" is a 7.4cm cubic terminal featuring a digital video camera enabled with facial recognition, voice recognition, and conversation synthesis functions. It's aiming at improving automatization and DX in the service industry, whether it would be at the front desk or in the back office.  Since the AI processing functions are directly implemented into the terminal, it makes the communication smooth and almost immediate. Face recognition is therefore made accessible without any limit and at flat-rate. We also developed a complementary service called "Care Cube" which is a stress check system based on voice analysis, capable of checking on a person's mental conditions based on a 3 second voice audio.

FACARE

"FACARE" is a software program using blood’s hemoglobin green light absorption characteristic. Through this absorption analysis, it can then measure blood vessels expansion and contraction. With this, it's possible to measure various vitals such as blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, blood sugar level, and oxygen level.
