Upcoming AI health tech company - Radian Mobility gets funded

Mumbai [India], September 20 (BusinessWire India): Radian Mobility, a health tech company based out of Mumbai, focusing on enhancing mobility awareness through adherence in the physiotherapy and preventative fitness sector has raised USD 300,000 in its maiden raise from a large US family office.

Radian was set up by CEO Jamshid Pandole, a twenty-two-year financial veteran and avid athlete, and CTO Gaurav Vyas an ex-amazon Computer engineer in 2021. The market for fitness apps increased by a whopping 48.8 per cent from 2019 to 2020 and is expected to witness a yearly growth of 17.0 per cent to 17.6 per cent over the next 5 years.

Along with this the Indian HealthTech market is set to reach USD 5 billion by 2023. With 0.59 therapists to patient ratio for every 100,000 population, there is an urgent need for increased interaction between Doctors and Patients to increase the recovery matrix.

Technology will be the only solution and Radian has taken the lead in this space by building a tool for therapists to manage their patients, build customised exercise routines and track their patients' recovery. Radian guides patients through their journey to recovery by facilitating adherence to home protocols and keeping track on their progress.

With the help of motion tracking technology, the Radian App gives accurate data that Doctors, and therapists need to track their patient's recovery and progress.

This enhanced interaction between Patients and their Doctors have proven that patients recover significantly faster than their existing methods. Radian has already instituted tie-ups with Pvt Hospitals, Government Hospitals and Sports associations. Radian continues to collaborate with different entities, right from independent physios, small clinics to larger health/sports organisations.

Radian aims to provide physiotherapists a medium to keep up with their patients journey to recovery and give patients a place to continue treatment at their own pace. With features that are beneficial to all the parties involved, Radian is closer to achieving its goal of filling in the blanks in the recovery process.

To reduce manual monitoring, Indian Army deploys AI-based surveillance system at borders

New Delhi [India], August 6: To enhance capabilities, the Indian Army has been deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) based surveillance systems on Northern and Western borders.

Sources in the Defense establishment have confirmed that apart from deploying AI-based surveillance systems at borders, "They are also using it to keep watch on real-time social media monitoring, pattern recognition and prediction of adversary courses of action, etc." "AI-based real-time monitoring software has been deployed for generating intelligence in Counter Terrorist Operations. AI-based suspicious vehicle recognition system has been deployed in eight locations in the Northern and Southern theatre," a source said. It has been said that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is capable of providing considerable asymmetry during military operations. It is envisaged that the use of AI will transform war-fighting paradigms.

AI applications can be utilised for surveillance and detection, real-time social media monitoring, pattern recognition and prediction of adversary courses of action, etc. Indian Army has been closely collaborating with Academia and Indian Industry, as also DRDO for the realisation of complex AI-based projects.

For this, an AI Lab has been established at the Military College of Telecommunication Engineering wherein AI projects have undergone extensive in-house testing before being given to a production agency for deployment. Indian Army has deployed several units of AI-Powered Smart Surveillance Systems on Northern and Western borders.

The Unit is capable of handling heterogeneous inputs from devices such as PTZ cameras, and handheld thermal imagers. This has considerably reduced the requirement for manual monitoring. AI-based suspicious vehicle recognition system has been deployed in eight locations in the Northern and Southern theatres. AI-based real-time monitoring software has been deployed for generating intelligence in Counter Terrorist Operations.

New Amazon shopping cart lets users scan & pay to skip checkout lines

Mumbai [India], July 14: The Dash Cart screen will now display images of fresh items nearby, like produce, for shoppers to choose from, or shoppers can type in the item name instead of a four-digit PLU code

Amazon on Tuesday unveiled an updated smart Dash Cart -- a shopping cart that helps users scan and pay for their purchases and skip the checkout line.

In September 2020, Amazon's physical retail team introduced the Amazon Dash Cart for the first time.

"We've built the updated version of the Dash Cart to continue to offer the features people love most, like real-time receipts and the ability to weigh produce directly in the cart's basket, alongside new conveniences and behind-the-scenes technology advancements," said Dilip Kumar, Vice President, Physical Retail and Technology

The Dash Cart are available for use at many Amazon Fresh stores across the US.

The Dash Cart screen will now display images of fresh items nearby, like produce, for shoppers to choose from, or shoppers can type in the item name instead of a four-digit PLU code.

The carts feature an extended all-day battery life that requires less charging, making them even more readily available for customers, said Kumar.

The company has doubled the capacity of the cart while maintaining the ability to quickly measure produce weight for certified accuracy and price.

"As many of our customers return to their in-store grocery shopping routines, it's exciting to introduce new and unique ways for them to shop our stores," said Leandro Balbinot, chief technology officer for Whole Foods Market.

To use the new version of the Dash Cart, shoppers log in through a QR code in the Amazon or Whole Foods Market app, which allows them to easily sign in and begin using the cart.

From there, shoppers place their bags (if using them) in the cart and start shopping, scanning their items using one of the cameras near the handlebar of the Dash Cart.

The cart uses a combination of computer vision algorithms and sensor fusion to help verify each item placed in, and removed from, the cart.

The Dash Cart's screen shows a real-time receipt of all items in the cart, and when shoppers are ready to check out, they simply exit the store through the Amazon Dash Cart lane and their payment is processed using the credit card associated with their Amazon account.

Shoppers will receive an emailed receipt shortly after leaving the store.
