GoQba Technology Co., Ltd. (CEO Jin-young Park) participated in the global startup exhibition 'SWITCH 2022 (The Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology 2022)' held at the Resort World Convention Center in Singapore from October 25 (Tue) to 28 (Fri).

GoQba Technology is a startup established in 2017 to solve social medical problems. Through the recently completed dementia overcoming project, KISTI (Korea Institute of Technology Information) introduced an early dementia prediction service through ‘data processing technology for dementia prediction through machine learning’.

It features a focus on dementia by analyzing various medical data such as medical history, medical examination, medical treatment records, and prescription drugs by year. This technology can be used for actual dementia prediction in medical institutions or nursing homes, and it can help solve the rapid increase in dementia patients and high social costs through early prediction, diagnosis, and preemptive treatment.

An official from GoQba Technology said, “There is no complete cure for dementia, so prediction and diagnosis are of the utmost importance. And it is very essential to respond early. Made for the dementia problem of the elderly, this service has the technology to predict the risk of dementia after 5 years for each individual through a dementia prediction algorithm model based on medical big data of 5.5 million elderly in Korea.”

The company is also developing digital therapeutics for elderly patients and has a diverse pipeline of self-rehabilitation solutions for MCI (mild cognitive impairment), solutions for dizziness relief and solutions for stroke aftereffects treatment.

The existing VR (Virtual Reality) method causes motion sickness in the elderly with no choice but to be used in a limited space with an administrator due to the risk of falling. GoQba developed a mixed reality (MR) digital treatment through multimodal analysis of gaze tracking and motion recognition of the elderly. It is currently undergoing clinical trials and has 10 domestic and foreign patents.

Having its 7^th iteration this year, ‘SWITCH 2022’ is global startup exhibition hosted by Enterprise Singapore, a public institution under the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry.
