Heroic-Faith is a medical technology start-up focused on the development of critical care and respiratory monitoring. They have developed a “real-time breath listening monitor” that converts breath sounds into digital data. This digital data can be used for anesthesia breathing monitoring, respiratory arrest identification, and other situations. In a seven-month QITC development program, Heroic-Faith used Qualcomm’s 5G mobile platform to enhance its “real-time breathing listening monitor.” AI identifies and monitors the patient’s condition and notifies the doctor. Clinic, surgery or telecommunications. According to Qualcomm’s press release, this is an important and innovative application for telemedicine and medical technology.

The runner-up, AVILON, provides autonomous drone (UAV) and fleet management solutions for automated drone system applications in a variety of industries. The team leverages the Qualcomm Flight RB5 5G platform to add indoor localization, itinerary planning, and obstacle avoidance capabilities to autonomously navigate the building, increasing the value of product commercialization and industrialization. I was allowed to. Their drone can also land accurately and deliver the details of the monitored details in clear 4K video streaming via 5G communication. Helps expand the commercial use of drone services such as factory inspections and warehouse management.

This is the third year Qualcomm has hosted a QITC contest in Taiwan. Under the guidance of the Ministry of Technology, Qualcomm started the event in January 2021 in collaboration with Taiwan Tech Arena, with more than 120 teams enrolled in the contest. In the final round of May, 10 teams were the finalists. By participating in the final competition and enrolling in the 7-month incubator program, each received a prize of $ 10,000. Qualcomm provided the 10 candidate list teams with technical support and engineering resources for the product development process, as well as incentives for patent applications. They also hosted workshops on the topics of intellectual property protection and business strategy to hone the business insights of start-up entrepreneurs.
