“IL1A-AI based olfactory digital sniffer dog system” developed by South Korea’s Llias AI is a digital olfactory system. It is the world’s first product that can detect the presence or absence of drugs by smell. Olfactory AI technology captures the odor of the body and baggage of entrants, and converts the results into digital olfactory data using a multi-channel gas sensor array. The AI ​​system automatically compares the data with a drug olfactory database to determine whether drugs are present. It prevents drug smuggling at airports and other places.

URINE CHECKER-ER

 URINE CHECKER-ER developed by South Korea’s D&C Biotechnology is a cup-type urine analyzer that improves the unsanitary and cumbersome process of conventional strip-type urine analyzers, allowing you to test urine at home with the accuracy of a medical institution.
It is said that this will make it easier for people in underserved areas, where basic tests are difficult to obtain, to receive medical care.
It incorporates the same sensors used in professional urine analyzers, ensuring accurate results. Test results are digitized and connected to an app that automatically saves them. Users can send test results through the app, enabling quick consultations and remote medical care.
Amorepacific, a Korean cosmetics manufacturer, exhibited WANNA-BEAUTY AI. It is a generative AI-based virtual makeup solution with voice dialogue capabilities.

The system applies virtual makeup using a unique stable diffusion model to provide realistic images. It increases satisfaction in makeup selection by teaching personalized and efficient methods to find a style that suits you.

All of the innovations introduced here are Korean companies. I did not interview Korean companies specifically, but Korean companies made their presence felt at CES, just like last year. 1,031 companies, including startups, exhibited at the show, raising their status at CES. Incidentally, there were 1,509 American companies and 1,399 Chinese companies. Meanwhile, it appears that there were less than 100 Japanese companies (I heard there were 88 companies at the CES venue, but I was unable to confirm this). (Kei Kitajima)
