ASUS is committed to the Smart Healthcare sector and creates medical wearables, medical AI, and medical imaging solutions to enhance medical staff efficiency and empower people everywhere to enjoy healthier lives.
Medical wearables: VivoWatch 6 Aero takes the spotlight
The all-new ASUS VivoWatch 6 Aero medical wearable was unveiled for the first time at the show. It features a 1.1-inch AMOLED display and offers comprehensive health-management tools, including blood pressure and ECG measurements using medical-grade ECG and PPG sensors, along with sleep quality analysis and a Relaxation Index. Weighing less than 30 grams and delivering up to 7 days of battery life, it ensures continuous monitoring and convenience for users.
ASUS will introduce the AI Coaching Platform for the VivoWatch series in Q4 2024. This platform combines users’ vital-sign data and daily life information to construct a holistic health database for individuals. By utilising AI algorithms, the VivoWatch 6 series can provide customised health insights and identify potential risks, enabling users to take proactive steps toward improving their well-being.
AI solutions for medical diagnostics
One of the highlights of the showcase is ASUS EndoAim, an endoscopy solution that delivers groundbreaking advancements in polyp detection and classification. EndoAim has been recognised with the Best AI-Assisted Software Solution award at the 2024 MedTech Breakthrough Awards, solidifying its position at the forefront of colonoscopy diagnostics.
EndoAim’s advanced AI-driven technology offers real-time, precise detection of all types of polyps, including those that might otherwise be easily overlooked. Its sophisticated algorithms classify polyps into adenoma and non-adenoma categories, providing invaluable assistance to healthcare professionals in making accurate and timely decisions. Furthermore, the system simplifies the process by allowing for polyp size measurement3 with just a single click on the endoscope, eliminating the need for additional equipment. EndoAim aims to empower doctors with the tools they need to deliver precise and efficient care.
Another groundbreaking AI-powered product is the ASUS Handheld Ultrasound LU800 series. This wireless device features a 128-channel beamformer and a lightweight design for point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) solutions, expanding the scope of ultrasound examinations from clinic rooms to ambulances or remote rural areas, and effectively improving medical diagnostic efficiency. The integration of AI technology into the ASUS LU800 Handheld Ultrasound enables physicians to carry out measurements in just a few seconds, reducing scanning time. The device also offers a Voice Control feature, allowing physicians to activate multiple ultrasound functions using verbal commands, freeing their hands for medical procedures. Additionally, the Smart Preset feature provides one-click image optimisation using AI technology, delivering the most readable format for accurate diagnosis.
Cutting-edge medical imaging displays
The new ASUS MH3281A and ASUS MH2441A clinical monitors are also showcased. MH3281A features a 31.5-inch 8 MP OLED panel, while the MH2441 has a 23.8-inch 3.6 MP IPS panel, both with an anti-glare low reflection (AGLR) coating. MH series monitors are designed to meet DICOM Part 14 standard, and are listed as Class 1 Devices by the US FDA. Both monitors feature the ASUS-exclusive DICOM Preset mode that auto-compensates for the DICOM curve, depending on ambient lighting. Both monitors also have a hardware calibration feature and are factory pre-calibrated to JND<10% to ensure long-term DICOM accuracy. ASUS MH clinical displays are designed for radiology, as well as Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) use.
With its AI-powered healthcare solutions, ASUS continues to push the boundaries of medical technology, aiming to enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve the quality of healthcare worldwide.
