KISTEP 10 Emerging Technologies 2015
 
 

Technology	Details
Smartphone Diagnosis	(Definition) The technology can measure biometric information and send the result instantly through sensors, camera and simple accessories for collected blood sugar level, blood pressure and heart rate.   (Application) The technology can replace expensive medical devices which make it easier to supply them at low price. In addition, it will improve health service accessibility and allow giving feedback simply with smartphone application.
Bigdata Analytics for Healthcare	(Definition) The technology collects patients’ hospital service use, medication, treatment and other various data including medical records to analyze useful information.   (Application) Based on the result, the technology can provide prevention of diseases and personal healthcare which in turn reduces the medical cost.
Bio Stamp	(Definition) The technology is a sensor which can be attached to skin in order to monitor the person’s health.   (Application) The technology allows the elderly to simply monitor their health as when the device is attached to the skin it can automatically monitor live the blood pressure, temperature, brain activities and so on, then send the data.
Li-Fi	(Definition) Wireless communication technology which combines high efficiency light LED and wifi using light.   (Application) The technology provides high speed communication service at low price at the intensity of LED where we cannot visualize without crossing of frequencies. It can majorly improve internet accessibility.
Tactile Display	(Definition) The technology allows the user to actually feel certain objects from the surface that they touch.   (Application) Improve the elderly and the disabled’s use of touchscreen, therefore, improve the convenience via reproducing the sense of touching virtual hand.
Beacon Technology	(Definition) Local area network technology which allows useful information to the users automatically in a limited area.   (Application) The technology provides adverts, convenient information, payment information and so on automatically within a short distance, therefore, those who are not familiar with browsing can receive useful information.
Vacuum Insulation	(Definition) Insulation material technology using vacuum in order to minimize the heat loss.   (Application) The technology can reduce the causes of energy poverty through minimizing heat loss both in heating and cooling energy.
Energy Harvesting Nano-material	(Definition) Nano material technology which converts waste energy into useable electric energy.   (Application) The technology can be applied to collect unused energy from various transportation methods such as road and railway as well as vibration from human activity. The technology can create electricity at any time and place, therefore, reduce the energy cost of low income group.
Virtual Reality	(Definition) Virtual space creation technology which re-create real or virtual object in 3D.   (Application) The technology can provide cultural spaces in a remote area by re-creating various virtual forms in a real space, for example, theme parks, museums and concert halls.
Smart Learning	(Definition) The technology can increase the studying effect easily and efficiently by providing user centered contents and services with intelligence. (Application) Learning contents are subdivided into different categories according to the user's ability and characteristic, and provided with feedbacks from every session. This can provide the optimum learning environment and high quality educational environment to the user.
