Turing Video has customers in more than 20 countries, including China, Australia, Singapore and those in the Americas and Europe.
Shangkang Life Science plans to use biotechnology to develop a system that combines miniature biosensors that can detect and regulate human physiological indicators such as blood sugar and blood pressure and Turing Video’s smart series of camera equipment to monitor the health status of the elderly in real-time. This jointly developed system would be designed to identify abnormal health conditions in the elderly and in the case of an emergency, it would emit an automatic alarm signal to care providers to ensure that the elderly receive timely treatment. Also, this high-tech system is also expected to be capable of providing health management plans to the elderly by conducting data analysis through AI algorithms.
