Dynamic Business Scene between Korea and Japan

Infomining analyzes six bio-signals (electrocardiogram, blood pressure, blood sugar, oxygen saturation, pulse, body temperature) with high accuracy in 24 hours anytime, anywhere, even if a patient is lying down, running, standing, or lying down, through a smartphone or PC. Infomining’s AI Solution is actually used in large hospitals in Korea. Moreover, surprisingly, it has the world’s highest accuracy in the field of artificial intelligence that judges diseases through electrocardiogram. It has already been confirmed that it has higher accuracy than IBM Watson. In addition, Infomining provides chatbot-type AIa self-diagnosis service that can be easily and easily self-diagnosed throughout the 24 hours, and artificial intelligence combines current and past medical history to inform diseases predicted after analysis. The most important artificial intelligence for self-diagnosis AI is natural language AI, which currently has the highest accuracy in the world for analyzing meaning. The Spanish Society published a paper in the second half of 2021 that said Google’s BERT and the latest GPT affiliates performed much better.

GB Soft analyzes light coming through the lens by AI Server’s algorithm, no matter what kind of camera it is, and informs four biosignals (blood pressure, oxygen saturation, pulse, body temperature) through KIOSK, Smartphone, or PC in just one second. This is called rPPG (remote PPG) technology, which boasts a much faster measurement speed than two to three competitors (measurement time: 25 seconds or 1 minute and 30 seconds). Of course, measurement is possible even at night. Although it is not as accurate as medical level, it is characterized by being able to capture four biological signals of hundreds of people caught by cameras at the same time. GB Soft’s AI Solution is actually used by large Korean construction companies. 

ITBook is a company that conducts ICT consulting, system development, and software/hardware sales to Japanese public institutions/private companies/financial companies, and was established in 2018, sales of about 21.224.76 billion yen, and employees.It consists of about 2032 people and 37 affiliates.Currently, we are developing Vital Data Measurement AI through Smartwatch in partnership with a company called MT Mobile, but we are discussing whether information can be disclosed through Web API in connection with AI Server through business partnership with Infomining in Korea. In addition, GB Soft in Korea has a lot of solution delivery records to large Korean construction companies, so it is said that it wants to be applied in Japan. Rather, it is so active that ITBook requests Web Meeting.

OMRON is a giant company with FA system/electronic parts business/vehicle full-length parts business/social system business/health medical device and service business in Japan, established in 1948, sales of about 859.482 billion yen, and about 35,000 employees. OMRON Research Institute is located in Daeryeon, China.OMRON Planning Division (China).Shanghai) is considering signing an NDA with Infoming and GB Soft in Korea to develop new medical services in the Chinese market.

And LA Times Asia Journal is MITSUI & CO., LTD.Since introducing Infomining and GB Soft to FujiSoft, they have also been conducting in-house reviews internally.

MITSUI & CO., LTD is an employee with information/energy/metal/mechanical/chemical/financial/logistics/resource, established in 1947, sales of about JPY 8.1025 trillion.It has about 44,000 people and is Japan’s first general trading company.It is one of Japan’s top five general trading companies and a traditional resource development company, and over the past decade, MITSUI & CO., LTD’s Wellness business headquarters has invested 4.6 trillion won in healthcare. Since 2011, it has invested in hospitals and companies with medical data, including IHH Healthcare (a hospital operator in Malaysia: operating about 80 hospitals in 10 countries including Singapore and India), and invested in TriNetX (US: about 400 million EMR (EMR) information) in 2019. Based on this big data, MITSUI & CO., LTD. developed a sophisticated hospitalization cost prediction system in partnership with AI startups, a groundbreaking system that can reduce the burden of raising surgery costs if patients can identify hospitalization costs before surgery. IHH Healthcare managed the health status of people with chronic diseases such as diabetes through a smartphone app and also developed a system for predicting severe diseases based on this. If a patient wears a wearable device manufactured by IHH, he or she can look into his or her health at any time, and if the risk of worsening the patient’s symptoms increases through advanced AI functions with big data, he or she recommends a “visit to the hospital” through the App alarm. The severe disease prediction system runs from reservations to treatment and prescriptions online, and if this is advanced, it is possible to efficiently operate mild patients at home and only high-risk people come to the hospital for treatment. NOBORI (affiliate of MITSUI & CO., LTD.) created a COVID-19 specialized remote diagnostic imaging platform on March 20 with the University of St. Louis, USA, and uses Alibaba’s cloud to analyze CT images with AI and send them to hospitals. TriNetX collects data from 175 hospitals in 30 countries, including the United States, anonymizes it, and provides it to pharmaceutical companies and hospitals. MITSUI & CO. and LTD. are connecting to projects such as support for new drug development using TriNetX’s data. MITSUI & CO., LTD. such as stress diagnosis service and exercise promotion app.It will also be used to upgrade the disease prevention service developed by the company.

MITSUI & CO., LTD.Despite securing vast amounts of medical data through this huge investment, Korea’s interest in Infomining and GB Soft seems to be due to the convenience of obtaining higher medical levels of data every second within 24 hours and simultaneously capturing hundreds of biosignals with cameras in just one second. In the end, for advanced medical services, it seems that the bio-signals of the underlying patients must be secured with simple and high accuracy, and bio-signals of hundreds of floating populations are also needed.

FujiSoft is a representative software development company in Japan, and has been developing healthcare management systems using Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) over the past two years. Japan temporarily lifted the initialization of online care, one of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), due to the outbreak of COVID-19, and eased regulations on IT use in medical sites. As a result, FujiSoft is developing a healthcare management system in which doctors and managers check their health by obtaining ECG data from patients, that is, from patients and transferring the data to Cloud. IoMT is responding by installing communication functions on devices such as electrocardiogram meters and thermometers to prevent risk to patients.

While developing a healthcare management system, FujiSoft seems to have realized that wearing a smartwatch without having to install communication functions on devices such as electrocardiogram or thermometer will help develop software that is highly utilized by many people, including the COVID-19 incident.

In addition, LA Times Asia Journal introduced EZ Group (Korea: a company that developed LED light emitting sheets) to Elematec, which is active enough to request products for Demo to introduce EZ Group’s products to their customers. 

Elematec is a professional trading company of TOYOTA Group, established in 1942, and has sales of about 175.654 billion yen, and about 1,200 employees.They decided that it was difficult to meet their customers and understand the feeling of light from the LED light emitting sheet or the operating principle of the product only with documents or videos. Elematec asked for a demonstration with the idea that it would be better to bring the minimized product directly. 

Unlike LED electronic displays and optical fiber light emitting products, the LED light emitting sheet is the only product on the market, and DIY is possible because the product cost is low and there is no installation cost. In addition, it is very durable, has little discoloration by ultraviolet rays, and does not cause diffuse reflection, so unlike LED displays, it has less glare and is easily visible from a distance. In addition, kit products are made in the form of special acrylic plates with LED light sources attached to the guide frame, making them about 1cm thick, unlike conventional products. By applying these products, road traffic signs that look clean from afar at night are also released and sold as Module products.

In the end, it can be said that it is a disproving that Elematec determined that EZ Group products (LED light emitting sheets, LED light emitting kits, and road traffic sign modules) have differentiation and business feasibility.

I hope that COVID-19 will significantly reduce business transactions between all countries around the world, and that the LA Times Asia Journal will serve as an opportunity to revitalize business between Korea and Japan even amid diplomatic conflicts between Korea and Japan. I hope that Korean SMEs, which are being incubated by the LA Times Asia Journal, will achieve business with global companies in Japan, and that business of companies around the world will be activated through them.
