Seoul – November 26, 2021 –

People & Technology, a leader in IoMT and medical AI solutions, has entered into a strategic partnership with Gilon, a specialist in digital healthcare solutions. The collaboration aims to integrate the companies’ proven products and infrastructures to advance real-time health monitoring, predictive medical analysis, and worker safety management solutions in high-risk industrial environments, driving joint commercialization in smart healthcare and Industry 4.0 sectors.

Smart Healthcare Collaboration

Starting in January 2022, the partnership will focus on building a joint commercialization model with 50+ healthcare institutions, including major hospitals in Seoul and other advanced hospitals nationwide.

• Integrated Solutions for Patient Safety:
  The partnership will combine People & Technology’s IndoorPlus+ SmartCare solution and AI-based patient vital sign monitoring with Gilon’s I-SOL Care solution, which specializes in analyzing patient gait data and assessing health risks. Together, these systems will provide comprehensive monitoring and proactive prevention strategies for high-risk patients, such as those prone to falls.

• Pain and Gait Monitoring:
  By integrating the IndoorPlus+ Smart PainCare solution—featuring mobile apps, wearable healthcare devices, and AI pain analysis—with I-SOL Care, the system will enable continuous monitoring of patients’ pain and gait inside and outside the hospital. This will support pain management, rehabilitation, and the prevention of potential comorbidities.

• Enhancing Hospital IT Infrastructure:
  Existing hospital IT infrastructures will incorporate patient gait analysis data and medical AI engines, improving the quantity and quality of medical data essential for digital transformation. This will elevate patient experiences and enhance the capabilities of predictive and preventive medical services.

Industrial Safety Integration

In industrial safety, People & Technology’s Smart Safety solution will integrate Gilon’s smart insole (I-SOL) technology for activity monitoring. This will provide:

• Real-time Detection and Response: Monitoring worker activity and detecting falls or health anomalies in hazardous indoor and outdoor areas, especially for lone workers.
• Safety and Health Recommendations: Preventing accidents and offering health management services through combined analysis of biometric data and activity patterns.

Global Expansion Goals

The companies aim to achieve significant outcomes in smart healthcare and industrial safety by mid-2022. Leveraging their success in Korea, the partnership plans to expand into the EMEA market, using People & Technology’s Swiss subsidiary as a base to secure customers and partners.
