View times Yukang: Hardware for remote care direction

Absrtact: Before giving us the contribution "the Baymax Marine" the origin and the medical robot present situation Li Mingming, actually is in the medical information reform tide. His company is called Yukang, which is simply a hardware Gayun service for remote care.

Before giving us a contribution "super can" the origin of "Baymax" and the status of medical robot Li Mingming, in fact, is in the tide of medical information reform. His company is called Yukang, which is simply a hardware Gayun service solution for remote care.

The company is still thinking about the name of the time I know him, see Times Yukang's English title is "Spaceh". I remind him that a lot of people can not look down here will spray you, he did not say what "Star of the Sea", "a big company", only told me: "Is worship Elon Musk", and then think of a corresponding Chinese name.

The robot in the picture is one of their prototypes, which will not be marketed to retail and will only be tailored to the needs of the partners. It comes with a binocular bionic camera and a built-in mic, the top with 10 level pressure, in addition to the optional AGV and the Kinect V2 depth camera scheme, can identify environmental terrain, user gestures and simple user instructions, such as "Come", "go", or at a certain distance to follow the care object, Avoid obstacles at the same time. The primary version is mainly for children, half entertainment, semi-remote monitoring, the upgraded version of the test is more sophisticated, suitable for the elderly or chronic patients. The control part is the robot system, which is written by the video-Pirelli itself, with the upper docking of an optional Android system host (that is, the screen theme seen in the picture) for running application and connection services.

Currently standard version has been and a well-known in the domestic infant milk powder brand cooperation, the brand wants to face the mother and infant market launched early education applications and intelligent hardware. The program also comes with a 7 * 24h remote temperature monitor patch.

View Times Yukang for this robot to build a mobile terminal as the core of the remote connection system, this system can be achieved:: Video calls, remote image monitoring, remote medication reminder, remote warning light function. For objects that need to be monitored, a robot that follows and supports natural interactions is easier to use than a smartphone.

As mentioned above, in addition to the hardware front-end scenario, the Yukang also has a back-end cloud service platform for remote medical/nursing. If the above robot is somewhat similar to the Jibo, then this cloud service is the image recognition sensor calibration, outside the robot system to differentiate from other robots extension services, team capabilities.

Li Mingming is an interesting, or somewhat inefficient, entrepreneur. He was even inclined to talk to me about every possible link and not just throw me the word "big Data", "machine learning", "Semantic analysis."

Monitoring, warning, medication supervision is a link, the subsequent docking of real medical care can enhance the efficiency and practical value of digital. I was experiencing an early demo: The front-end UI can be adapted to the environment using Flash or HTML5, can remotely show the patient a variety of documents (case, medical device description, drug description, etc.) and support real-time synchronization annotation, in addition, also based on WEBRTC technology to build real-time text, audio and video dialogue functions, So theoretically the system can be adapted to both the desktop Web and the mobile side. At the same time, on this basis, the backend of the system will grasp the information of the doctor-patient communication in real time, and help the doctor and patient to claim the communication record through language analysis and data precipitation in the future, and help the patients with insufficient expressive ability to explain their own symptoms and dynamics, and to judge the patients

In Li Mingming's view, compared to the cold "guardianship", depending on the age of Yu Kang provided to the elderly or patients more important is a communication tool. "A doctor at Seven Oak Hospital in Canada told me about the need to monitor the behaviour of an old man," he said, "because elderly people living alone in a chronic condition may also have more serious mental health problems." Emotional and psychological regulation is a very important part of the treatment, through the remote system and equipment can allow the outside and relatives more timely communication with patients.

At present, Yukang not only to the hospital to solicit cooperation, but also for mobile medical software to provide telemedicine visualization, medical vertical search API. Li Mingming that these solutions are their value. Interested organizations can contact them via the website and email, the relevant API or robot demo.

They plan to conduct pilot projects in 100 districts in Beijing in the near future, facing a wide range of real-world testing needs.

The composition of the Yukang team are: The first 365 calendar, Sina sports Li Mingming, the original VMWare, NTT, the blue whale engineer Palace Meng (large data direction), the original Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing Equity Trading Center Yin Yang (large data, real-time computing system direction), former Microsoft Xbox senior engineer, Questsoftware General Architecture Wenduan and original search vertical search Group, Microsoft Institute Stre Conci. There are also sales teams from GSK.
