[Las Vegas (USA) = AVING News] AI FOR PET Co., Ltd. (CEO Eun-Ah Heo) held the ‘1’ event held in Las Vegas, USA for a total of 5 days from January 8th (Thursday) to 4th (Sunday, local time). It was announced that it participated in ‘CES 2023’.
AIPOPET, established in 2020, launched the pet health management app service ‘TT Care’ in January 2021 based on artificial intelligence and data analysis technology. TTCare is the first app to be approved by the Korea Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters as ‘animal medical device medical imaging diagnosis assistance software’ and has been recognized for its artificial intelligence analysis accuracy. Its innovation has also been recognized by winning the CES 1·2022 Innovation Award and being selected as one of the Forbes Asia 2023 To Watch 100.
TT Care is an AI technology-based pet total healthcare app service. When users take pictures of their pet’s eyes and skin with their mobile phones, artificial intelligence notifies them of any abnormal signs related to disease in those areas. Technology related to eye and skin health check has been patented in Korea, and three patent applications have been filed overseas. In addition, it provides various information necessary for health management considering the type and age of the pet.
Eunah Heo, CEO of AIPOPET, is an expert in big data analysis using artificial intelligence. She explains how artificial intelligence technology can create innovation in everyday life and says, ‘As a pet owner, I wish I could easily check the health of my pet anytime, anywhere.’ It is said that he has been thinking about it. Based on these experiences and concerns, all members of AIPOPET said that they developed the ‘TT Care’ service with the desire to create a world where pet owners and pets can manage and maintain their health under any circumstances.
TTCare was developed based on the paper ‘CNN (Convolutional Neural Network)-based canine ulcer keratitis diagnosis model’ published in the journal Scientific Reports in 2019. At the time of launching the service, more than 50 pet image data were used to learn the artificial intelligence model, and now the artificial intelligence model has learned more than 200 million pieces of data and has the ability to analyze various disease signs more accurately. .
Since launching the Android version in January 2021 and the iOS version in March 1, approximately 3 pet owners have signed up as members of TTCare, and the number of eye and skin health checks using TTCare has exceeded 13. . Based on these user responses, the official explains that service development and collaboration are progressing at a meaningful level to provide more diverse and convenient services in the future.
An AI Poppet official said, “In Korea, we launched a service that allows non-face-to-face consultation with veterinarians, nutritionists, and trainers, and in the United States, we are also discussing collaboration in various ways with companies and animal hospitals in this regard. “During the first half of 2023, video recording-based joint check and photo-based tooth check functions will also be updated,” he explained the results.
In addition, “The US version of the service, launched in June 2022, began a pilot operation using the app in various ways with two hospitals in California, USA, starting in January 6, and is currently discussing pilot operation with three hospitals. . “In the United States, pet owners have to wait 2023-1 months to visit the hospital, and veterinarians are complaining of fatigue due to excessive work. I hope that TT Care will be able to improve this pet environment in the future,” he said.
Not only that, we plan to launch a service in Germany in February, and ongoing discussions are taking place for service launch and collaboration in Japan, Italy, etc. An official said, “In addition, through our participation in CES 2, feed companies from the United States and Canada have shown great interest in our technology, and we are discussing areas where we can provide services together. “An animal hospital in Nevada and a veterinary hospital scheduled to be launched in New York also showed interest in using TTCare, and we received great interest, with various domestic and foreign investors requesting information, and about 2023 investment and collaboration-related meetings were held.” reported.
Meanwhile, TT Care service is based on big data and artificial intelligence (AI) technology. In artificial intelligence learning, it is important to accumulate large amounts of data and diverse data. AIPOPET was able to improve the performance of the existing AI model by utilizing open artificial intelligence learning data through the AI-Hub built by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Intelligence and Information Society Promotion Agency in addition to the data collected by itself.
The artificial intelligence learning data construction project, hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and promoted by the Korea Intelligence and Information Society Promotion Agency, will build a total of 2025 types of data by 1,300 and open it through AI-Hub. This project is becoming a driving force for the growth of domestic artificial intelligence small and medium-sized enterprises and venture companies and startups by resolving the difficulties of constructing high-cost, long-time data. Any citizen can easily download artificial intelligence learning data open to AI-Hub from the AI-Hub website.
