Largan Precision diversifies into healthcare! Subsidiary Largan Health AI-TECH launches New Sleep Monitoring Product – Lin En-ping: "Slept well" after trying It for one night
Largan Precision's subsidiary, Largan Health AI-TECH, has collaborated with sleep medicine experts in Taiwan and referred to the cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) theory from Harvard Medical School to develop a innovative home sleep monitoring device called "DOMII." Largan Precision's Chairman, Lin En-ping, personally attended the product launch. However, he briefly mentioned his experience using the product, stating that he used it for one night, slept well, and didn't feel anything.
DOMII, designed by Largan Health AI-TECH, is a compact electrocardiogram recorder as the size of an Oreo cookie. Unlike traditional sleep monitoring devices, this wireless device is non-intrusive, allowing users to conduct sleep tests at home without disruption. Users simply attach the DOMII to their chest and wear the oximeter before going to sleep. After a night's sleep, the device analyzes and detects physiological signals, including apnea, sleep quality, sleep position, movement, nocturnal awakenings, heart rate variability (HRV), oxygen desaturation, electrocardiogram (ECG), rapid screening for arrhythmia, and autonomic nervous system imbalance.
During the media event, Lin En-ping was asked about his personal experience with the product. He mentioned that he used DOMII for one night, but as the results were normal, he didn't continue using it. Lin En-ping emphasized that he sleeps well regularly and relies on meditation to maintain his health.
Largan Health AI-TECH aims to develop simple and user-friendly sleep monitoring devices. DOMII, is a wireless and non-intrusive solution. It allows individuals with sleep disorders to undergo sleep tests at home, providing accurate and comfortable monitoring. The device aims to help diagnose and analyze sleep disorders, enabling healthcare professionals to prescribe appropriate sleep treatment for individuals. Unlike traditional sleep centers, DOMII allows users to conduct sleep testing at home without the need for hospitalization.
Lin En-ping mentioned that the product's software and hardware were developed in-house by Largan Health AI-TECH . The device, based on Harvard's CPC theory, offers close monitoring of heart and respiratory functions. The product has received medical certification, and Lin En-ping highlighted that it is currently the only sleep monitoring product in Taiwan with such certification. The company has already introduced DOMII to major medical centers in Taiwan, including Taipei General Hospital, National Taiwan University Hospital, and China Medical University Hospital.
Lin En-ping revealed that the challenge was to integrate large-scale sleep monitoring devices into a small device. The product's main challenge was data collection, and Largan Precision used theoretical foundations and collected numerous data to incorporate it into the software. Lin En-ping suggested that this aspect is also part of artificial intelligence (AI), and it has been helpful in various ways.
Regarding the timeline for the new product to make a substantial contribution to Largan Precision, Lin En-ping simply stated, "the sooner, the better." He expressed difficulty in setting specific goals but mentioned that the more people who use the product, the better. The company is currently focusing on DOMII, and there are no specific plans for new products. However, Lin En-ping suggested potential applications for heart-related issues and mentioned that it could be effective in monitoring irregular heartbeats, providing timely alerts, and notifying users of potential health issues.
Largan Health AI-TECH's DOMII is the first sleep monitoring product in Taiwan to complete multi-center clinical verification studies in collaboration with major medical institutions. Lin En-ping expressed hope that DOMII would become a widely adopted product. The device, offering medical-grade sleep cloud technology, can aid in early screening for potential sleep-related health issues, ultimately contributing to improving the overall sleep health of the population.
