Gonghoon (CEO Lee Tae-hoon) participated within the ‘2023 Artificial Intelligence & Big Data Show’, the biggest artificial intelligence (AI) exhibition in Korea held at COEX, Seoul on June 28-30, and introduced the intelligent CCTV nursing care service ‘Fast Care’. It was announced on the first that it could be presented.

Fast Care is a service that is especially chargeable for the protection of the elderly by installing it in nursing facilities based on voice and video identification through AI. It identifies and analyzes people’s postures and behaviors, and judges falls (fall), leaving facilities (wandering), and postural abnormalities (lying).

He identified that ‘image technology’ and ‘sensor technology’ are generally required for real-time identification, but up to now, the 2 worked individually. Due to this fact, he said, there have been disadvantages equivalent to increased cost, frequent motion detection errors, and cumbersome use resulting from the installation of attachable and installable (radar) sensors.

As a way to overcome this, Gonghoon said that he had solved numerous trouble by integrating ‘sensor operation’ with ‘image identification technology’.

Specifically, within the case of motion recognition, it’s explained that it is feasible to understand the concept of space and combination and three-dimensional understanding. It’s claimed that the accuracy is high since it recognizes people based on the space to the encompassing partitions or objects.

It’s a principle of identifying spatial coordinates by ‘spatializing’ a flat video image in three dimensions. It is feasible to detect abnormal behavior only with the camera and solve the issue that happens when the sensor is worn.

He emphasized that it is feasible to reply quickly to emergencies in addition to high accuracy. Identifies images in the power through CCTV, and even sends a notification to the manager or guardian when an issue is discovered.

At the identical time, in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act, essential information equivalent to face is processed as ‘non-identified’. It’s to support the general service by making the technique of caring for, managing, and controlling nursing facilities and the elderly more convenient.

Demand is anticipated to extend because the installation and operation of CCTVs grow to be mandatory in accordance with the revision of the Long-term Care Insurance Act for the Elderly. At the identical time, it added that it helps overall facility management, equivalent to supervising and controlling the caregiver’s negligence.

Meanwhile, Konghun succeeded in advancing image identification development technology and developing additional functions in April last 12 months, and accomplished product production and technology certification in April this 12 months. It would enter the market in earnest from this month.

CEO Lee Tae-hoon said, “We’re preparing to make use of the product not only for personal nursing facilities but additionally for caring for the elderly living alone in local governments. We’re continuing our export activities to aging countries equivalent to Japan.”
