Nearly every business is being significantly impacted by generative AI (Gen AI). This is especially true in the healthcare sector, where Gen AI is improving patient care and efficiency while also boosting the value of the customized user experience.
The Smart Healthcare 4.0 era is now completely upon us. This involves improving healthcare delivery via AI, IoT, and big data. By connecting patients, doctors, and devices, treatment can be more personalized, effective, and efficient. It should come as no surprise that ASUS, a prominent technology firm, is contributing significantly to this healthcare revolution with its Gen AI-enabled healthcare products and services.
ASUS provides both individual consumers and healthcare organizations with cutting-edge smart healthcare products and services. With devices like Zenbo Junior II home companion robots, ASUS HealthHub for remote care, and smart health wearables like ASUS VivoWatch, ASUS will discuss how they are empowering patients in this post.
Revolutionizing Senior Care with Zenbo Junior II: The Ultimate Home Companion
Particularly for elderly people who might not be able to take care of themselves or have the support they need at home, healthcare should be a constant discussion that extends from hospitals to the home.
For this reason, it unveiled the Zenbo Junior II, a health companion robot made especially for elderly people. It offers individualized care and support by fusing Gen AI technology with smart health solutions.
The two main areas in which ASUS Gen AI shines are Personal Health Management and Natural Language Interaction.
Natural Language Interaction
By using Gen AI to have meaningful, organic conversations, Zenbo Junior II offers sympathetic company that lessens loneliness and promotes trust. It reacts empathetically, provides pertinent support, and comprehends and retains the context of the discourse.
For instance, Zenbo Junior II is able to respond to inquiries about health, including signs of different ailments. These responses are not medical advice; rather, they are meant to serve as general health education.
When a user displays worry, it responds with soothing, comforting words and uses 24 facial expressions to show empathy, creating a comforting emotional bond.
Personal Health Management
By offering integrated personal health management services, Zenbo Junior II helps close the gap between patients and healthcare professionals. It provides daily prescription reminders, shows pictures of medications to help with error prevention, and connects to hospital information systems to retrieve medication data.
With the help of Gen AI, Zenbo compares daily health data to past patterns to notify users of any irregularities. Users can better understand their data trends with the aid of alerts and insights, which also promote seeking medical advice when needed.
By integrating consultation data and offering appointment suggestions when users express discomfort during interactions, it allows hospitals to provide remote treatment through a business-to-business (B2B2C) paradigm.
Generative AI X Remote Care
ASUS HealthHub, an all-in-one remote care solution that combines hardware, measurement tools, cloud platforms, and software applications, was introduced in response to the pandemic’s heightened need for health care. Three software versions are now available. Hospitals and other healthcare facilities employ the B2B version, known as HealthHub Hospital, which enables fast data integration and video communications so medical staff may respond to anomalous data instantly. A brand-new B2B2C HealthHub Kiosk for business/community usage and a B2C HealthHub Home for personal use were launched in 2024 to buy hardware for the home. Using various measurement instruments, the HealthHub tracks physiological data like blood pressure, blood glucose, blood oxygen, forehead temperature, weight, and body fat.
In the past, persons recording physiological data lacked medical competence and direction, making it difficult to manage their health. The HealthHub team introduced the AI Health Assistant by integrating GenAI ChatGPT technology into the home and enterprise/community versions. In order to help caregivers and those receiving care manage their health appropriately, this assistant evaluates personal health data and offers professional, real-time guidance.
Using their measurement data, the AI Health Assistant will communicate with users via voice or text input on the HealthHub device, presenting pertinent disease information and providing self-care recommendations for diet and measurement values. For instance, if a user’s blood pressure reading is elevated, the system will show the normal range, advise relaxation, and then take another reading before recommending a diet based on the findings.
In order to provide caregivers peace of mind, they can also communicate with the AI Health Assistant to ask about health conditions if they are too busy to immediately attend to the elders’ medical requirements at home. To help users and caregivers analyze health status, comprehend health changes and trends, and foster mutual concern for one another’s health, an AI-generated weekly health report will also be distributed to friends and family. It will include health recommendations and charts.
Although HealthHub’s objective of offering health advice has been expedited by GenAI technology, the largest obstacle is making sure the AI Health Assistant does not offer medical diagnoses. The team has put a lot of work into calibrating GenAI to deliver precise health education content, incorporating technical texts and expert expertise to create prompts and targeted Q&As. This guarantees that frequently asked questions are handled appropriately, preventing misconceptions and guaranteeing accurate and satisfactory answers.
Smart Health Wearable Devices X Generative AI
In 2016, ASUS released the ASUS VivoWatch, its first smart health device, mainly for consumer use. Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare (TFDA) has certified its ECG and blood pressure application software, making it the country’s first self-developed application software. Since then, a number of Taiwanese medical facilities have included the VivoWatch in their VIP health services and incorporated it into their wards to track patients’ vital signs.
ASUS team has kept improving and iterating the product ever since. The VivoWatch 6 was introduced by ASUS in 2024 and has real-time continuous monitoring capabilities to measure users’ physiological data around-the-clock. Heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen levels, surface temperature, ECG, sleep quality, and novel body composition metrics are all included. The objective is to offer suitable management and preventive guidance for tracking and anticipating possible health problems in advance.
In 2025, the ASUS VivoWatch 6 will also launch an AI Coaching Platform to offer intelligent medical support and tailored health advice. By converting incomprehensible numbers into information that is easy to grasp, the platform improves users’ comprehension of their data and health state.
After just seven days, the coaching platform model evaluates user data, including blood pressure, maximum heart rate, resting heart rate, step count, exercise, and sleep data, to determine health patterns. Crucially, the gathered data is processed on the VivoWatch app to provide qualitative indicators, which are subsequently anonymized and transmitted to the cloud AI model for automatic, customized evaluations in order to preserve user privacy. A question-and-answer format is also available for users to engage with the app’s Gen AI for health advice, which does not rely on patient data.
The Gen AI model is continuously calibrated and adjusted to attain its correctness. Using multiple-choice questions, users give input on their health; the responses are then utilized to improve the Gen AI model’s capacity to offer individualized prevention and health management strategies.
In order to help customers detect any health problems early on, they are continuously creating new capabilities for ASUS VivoWatch that will offer health management and prevention guidance for chronic illness monitoring and prediction. For instance, the creation of respiration detection and sleep apnea interpretation capabilities, as well as the Afib (atrial fibrillation) detection function, which is presently undergoing TFDA certification. Users may easily monitor at home, identify risks early, and seek medical help right away.
A Gen AI-Led Healthcare Future
ASUS healthcare teams are dedicated to expanding ecosystem of AI-powered goods and services that empower medical professionals and patients. To guarantee a better, smarter, healthier future for everybody, it is striving to improve healthcare outcomes and efficiency from the home, community, and healthcare facilities.
