Neckband 4
Neckband 4, which is fully interlocked with the GOKURI system in the cloud, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to quantify swallowing. It monitors vital data by means of contact-type sensors (Patent No. 6903368). They are: swallowing and breathing sounds, the number of swallows and coughs, neck angle, pulse rate, temperature measurement function, and blood oxygen level. Both wireless (Bluetooth connection) and wired connections are supported and can be used according to the hospital environment.
GOKURI Cloud
The GOKURI Cloud, a cloud system provided to medical professionals together with the Neckband 4, allows various data collected by the neckband to be managed and viewed on a dashboard.
The dashboard facilitates information sharing among multiple professionals engaged in swallowing and care activities in the hospital wards, especially clinicians at different times of the day.
Key Research Partners
Partners that cooperated to the development of GOKURI for basic medical research
Service Plan
Multiple plans are provided to hospitals, research institutes, and educational institutions based on purposes and usage scenarios.
Currently, GOKURI is a non-medical device and should be used for research purposes only. It cannot be used for the diagnosis of diseases.
