Exploring Our Smart Sports & Digital Health Tech
Our smart sports and digital health innovations at CES 2024 were iGolfPutter, a smart sports technology designed for indoor golf training; iSwimWeaR, a smart personal device designed to monitor physiological vitals in underwater environments; Mountain Watch, an outdoor safety system that helps prevent hikers from getting lost or separated from their group; DeeGoo, a science-based management solution designed to assess and stimulate cognitive functions; and BeatSync, an AI-powered interactive music training device designed to relieve emotional stress and enhance mental health.
iGolfPutter offers outdoor golf course playing simulation
Powered by ITRI’s 3D sensing AI analysis technology, iGolfPutter captures the player’s posture, stance, and swing. iGolfPutter also combines skeletal data with embedded sensor data from the putter and golf ball to offer comprehensive simulation, analysis, visualization, and educational experience.
iGolfPutter offers comprehensive analyses and recreates the terrain of real golf courses for your next shot.
While the display provides a captivating view of the golf course, the AIoT green under the player’s feet dynamically recreates after each swing the terrain of real golf course landscapes for the player’s next shot. Furthermore, it enables multiple players to compete in both virtual and physical settings simultaneously. For instance, some players can play on an actual golf course, while others join the same game virtually from anywhere using iGolfPutter to simulate the same course.
iSwimWeaR tracks real-time vitals while submerged
Unlike existing waterproof wearable devices that only transmit data once out of the water, iSwimWeaR monitors real-time diver or swimmer vitals while submerged. Using low-power microwave sensing technology combined with a user-friendly smartphone app, iSwimWeaR tracks and displays underwater vitals including heartbeat, breathing rate, and activity levels in real time with a 95% accuracy rate. The device easily integrates with diving masks and swimming goggles without direct skin contact.
iSwimWeaR tracks real-time vitals even when submerged.
When the heartbeat or breathing rate drops too low, iSwimWeaR sends visual safety alerts to the diver or swimmer and colleagues, enhancing safety in beginner swimming lessons and elevating the overall training experience for athletes.
Mountain Watch displays real-time locations in areas with no phone signal
Mountain Watch includes a smartphone app and a mesh network device. Even in mountainous areas with weak or no mobile phone signals, hikers can use Mountain Watch to update and share their real-time location with emergency coordinators, other hikers, family, and friends.
Using ITRI’s mesh network technology, the device features low power consumption, an extended communication range, and three-dimensional multipoint signal communication capabilities. These features enable the devices to serve as relay stations for one another through long-distance transmission. The device also features an emergency system that immediately sends emergency signals to other hikers in the vicinity. Hikers can also plan routes, navigate, and stay connected with family and friends through Mountain Watch.

DeeGoo offers personalized cognitive assessment and exercises
DeeGoo helps seniors assess the risk of dementia and stimulate cognitive functions, prompting them to seek medical attention for early diagnosis and treatment. Compared to conventional time-consuming paper-based tests, DeeGoo tests can be completed within three minutes and can gather data such as response time and users’ reactions to interactive tasks, providing doctors with a comprehensive data set for evaluation.
DeeGoo personalizes cognitive exercises to train elders’ perception, attention, memory, executive function, language, and motor skills.
Through AI analysis, posture recognition, and algorithms for both body and cognitive functions, DeeGoo offers personalized cognitive exercises to train performance in perception, attention, memory, executive function, language, and motor skills. By tracking patients’ progress, DeeGoo has demonstrated a significant impact on delaying cognitive decline and improving overall cognitive health.
BeatSync personalizes music scores to enhance mental health
Through button-press musical instruments, BeatSync captures details including the number of button presses, accuracy, timing errors, and pressing force. This data is analyzed to instantly display results, serving as a health assessment reference for either the user or caregiver. BeatSync recommends personalized music scores based on performance results as analyzed by AI, tailoring the training experience to individual needs.
BeatSync tailors the music score training and can serve as a health assessment reference.
