TAIPEI, Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Following its previous successes in bio-signal monitors and connective health, VitalSigns Technology shifted gears and entered the IoT industry with its outstanding biosensor and physiological monitoring development capabilities. Its professional air quality monitoring systems EVMGG2H1 (Femto ampere level) and EVMOP1H1 are the latest products designed to detect and control air quality, helping manufacturers, government agencies, and research institutes collect accurate and useful environmental data.

Why Air Quality Monitoring Matters

Air pollution is a rising concern worldwide, and environmental hazards are exacerbating the spread of diseases such as asthma, cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, and obstructive pulmonary disease.

The increase in awareness of the negative health effects of polluted air has driven significant new market demand for air quality monitoring. The estimated value of the air quality monitoring systems market was $4.76 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.26%, according to Infoholic Research.

One Step forward toward the Smart City of Tomorrow

The professional air quality monitor developed by VitalSigns Technology provides real-time detection of environmental data, including humidity, temperature, PM2.5 with Electron Ionization (Femto ampere level) or Optical type, and toxic gases. The system passed the measurement service assessment conducted by the Industrial Technology Research Institute, a national accreditation body (NAB) in Taiwan, at a 95% coefficient of determination.

Product reliability is important for smart city IoT devices that are required to withstand long operating hours. The VitalSigns system features a thorough power management system as well as a fine-particulate ventilation system, waterproof casing, electricity leakage prevention system, unique shelter design, and a fall-down detector to optimize usage in a variety of locations and conditions.

As for data collection connectivity, VitalSigns uses an LTE module instead of less stable connection methods like Wi-Fi and BLE. In addition, the frequency of data transfer to customers’ IoT platforms is customizable. To avoid any possible data loss due to system crash or poor internet connectivity, VitalSigns’ Real-Time Air Quality Monitor’s remedial measures store data onsite for at least 7 days using a built-in 4GBS flash memory.

To suit different needs and missions, VitalSigns uses Femto ampere sensing technology in its electron impact ionization sensors to measure particulate matter in gas. Furthermore, VitalSigns also provides particular toxic gas sensing solutions that have 24-bit high accuracy gas-detect ADC with Android APP and Wireless BLE 4.2 support.

Improving Wellbeing from a Technology Perspective

The key team members of VitalSigns have decades of experience developing high-accuracy ADC systems and biosensors at major IC design companies, including MediaTek and RichTek.

VitalSigns CEO JL Juang remarked that «Our goal is to keep improving healthcare quality and environmental quality for everyone.» The company’s consistent investment in research and development related to high-precision devices, IoT, and big data analytics clinched the decision by Taiwan Tech Arena (TTA) to select VitalSigns to be part of the 100 featured Taiwanese startups showcased at CES 2021.

LONDON, Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — British Expedition Apparel brand Shackleton presents Antarctica NOW, a seven-day online festival celebrating the extraordinary continent that for centuries has captured restless imaginations and transformed understanding of the rest of the world. Normally January would be a time when thousands of people head to the Antarctic, whether for work or exploration, but COVID-19 has inevitably impacted on that. As borders close and lockdowns intensify, we invite people instead to come with us on a virtual journey. Through dynamic presentations and discussions, provocative writing and pioneering photography, this is a chance to explore the unique wonder and vital significance of Antarctica today.

Over a century ago, when the brand’s namesake Ernest Shackleton led three expeditions to Antarctica, exploration was about discovering new lands and breaking records. Today’s explorations in the seventh continent are more focused on fields of science, climate and conservation, all of which are playing a pivotal role in our understanding of the planet.

We are realising what we learn from the frozen continent today will be paramount in fighting climate change in the future. This is why Shackleton has decided to host Antarctica NOW, in order to  spread awareness of what’s happening in the coldest place on earth right now – and why it’s crucially important to every single one of us.

Discussion topics at the 7-day festival will include:

• What’s the polar power struggle playing out in Antarctica right now?
• How do events in Antarctica impact on everyone?
• What’s left for Antarctic explorers? Who gets to decide who goes?
• How fast are the ice shelves melting?
• What’s the link between Antarctica and space research?
• What can the ice tell us about the past – and the future?
• Are we winning the wildlife conservation battle?
• How can we make the world sit up and notice?

Antarctica NOW opens on Monday January 25th and runs until the 31st January with a lead speaker broadcast live on Zoom and Facebook at 6pm each evening, as well as a host of other interviews, briefings, writing, photographic essays and a discussion forum available via Shackleton’s website and social media channels.

Curated by writer and editor Rachel Halliburton (Avaunt Magazine), the festival brings together some of the most exciting and significant voices in the Antarctic community, including explorers, geopoliticians, scientists from the European Space Agency, cartographers and prize-winning photographers, to investigate and raise awareness of the most urgent and critical issues threatening the frozen continent..

«Antarctica is our spiritual home – it’s where Sir Ernest Shackleton made his name as a polar explorer over a century ago and where our expedition-grade apparel is tested and used today. ‘Like me, anyone who’s seen Antarctica first-hand feels compelled to protect it» says Shackleton co-founder Martin Brooks. ‘The aim of the festival is to raise awareness of the critical issues surrounding Antarctica, and how these impact all of us across the globe. As Shackleton said himself, ‘It’s in our nature to explore, to reach out into the unknown. The only true failure would be not to explore at all,’ We invite everyone to explore what makes Antarctica both critical and wonderfully compelling.’
