What\u00a0is\u00a0iCarbonX?<\/b><\/p>\n

You may not have heard of iCarbonX, but it could alter our health in the future. The Chinese data company aggregates health information from millions of consumers to develop\u00a0deep\u00a0understandings\u00a0about\u00a0diseases and<\/span>\u00a0their progression. The goal is to provide\u00a0actionable, personalized insights to slow the development of disease in the body.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Beyond just physiological data, iCarbonX looks at behavioral and psychological patterns as well. It might just be the first huge play for big data in healthcare<\/a>. The company is working hard to build out its network of partners to construct its \u201cecosystem of digital life.\u201d This could be the key to better outcomes and treatments in the very near future.<\/p>\n

Merkel showed great interested in intelligent health monitoring system.\u00a0This seemingly ordinary mirror can not only capture the body’s data including height, shoulder circumference\u00a0and\u00a0waist,\u00a0but also monitor body shape over a prolonged\u00a0time and combine genetic data and motion data to develop personalized sports programs, and act like a virtual fitness trainer.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re combining data from new biological measures with experiential data from millions of people around the world, and using advanced AI to search the data for new signals about health, disease\u00a0and\u00a0aging. We are fundamentally transforming the health and wellness of individuals<\/a> by unlocking the power of deep and dynamic digitization of biology.” CEO Jun Wang Said.<\/p>\n

This new technology reminds us of Baymax, a\u00a0lovable character in Disney\u2019s Big Hero 6 movie.\u00a0Baymax is a healthcare robot, who saves his young partner and\u00a0combats evil…before eventually becoming\u00a0a big hero! iCarbonX is like a Baymax in reality: a new\u00a0technology for human being’s healthcare, which can also save people’s lives and offer a better way to care for people’s health.<\/p>\n
