The champion team this time is AutoSafe. The team found that 30% to 40% of workplace deaths are from the construction industry, so they designed an artificial intelligence system to monitor site safety.
The system will use the camera to track the site personnel, and cooperate with the digital project supervision system to conduct risk assessment. When a danger is detected, it will trigger a warning light and send a text message to remind workers to pay attention to safety.
The team has cooperated with the industry to adopt this technology in a hotel project and a government project, which is expected to strengthen the protection of workers' occupational safety and health.

The runner-up team was FLASH Diagnostics, who started with protecting the health of "hairy children".
The team said that the current cost of pet physical examinations is high, and it takes a while to report.
Therefore, rapid test kits for zoonotic diseases have been developed for use by veterinarians.
The cost is cheaper and simpler and more convenient than the laboratory used in animal clinics.

The third runner-up team was XOXO Beverages.
The blender developed by the team is equipped with a medical pump tube to accurately control the amount of blending; the vortex mixing mode developed by the scientific research and development is used to evenly stir the cocktail; coupled with the freezing system to control the temperature and the amount of dissolved water, it can provide professional bartenders at an affordable price. Standard cocktail service.
