Using big data and AI algorithms, it provides personalized risk trend predictions and related recommendations. This solution has been highly valued during the COVID-19 vaccination period and is ideal for workplace use.
The COVID-19 virus continues to mutate, and long-term coexistence with the virus has become unavoidable. Leadtek Technology not only encourages employees to maintain exercise habits while adhering to epidemic prevention SOPs, but also focuses on cardiovascular problems, which can lead to severe illness post-pandemic. Through medical-grade ECG recorders like HRV Guard, pulse oximeters, and ECG wearable watches like H2 Plus, Leadtek has been providing long-term care for employees' overall physical and mental health, building a "heart" workplace health solution for the post-pandemic era.
At 3 p.m. every day, if you walk into Leadtek Technology, you will hear lively music echoing through the office, reminding employees to get up, stretch, and relax. Employees are the company's most valuable asset and guarantee of productivity. Leadtek Technology prioritizes employee health and well-being, designing various health activities. In addition to the daily 3 p.m. health exercises, the company promotes daily walking, measuring health data to earn reward points, and other long-term activities to encourage employees to develop healthy habits and focus on their physical and mental health.
It's Not Just About Exercise: Workplace Health Concepts Must Evolve with the Times
Currently, while employers generally recognize that employee health and safety are essential for business operations, most companies still primarily focus on pandemic-related measures like mask-wearing, temperature checks, and alcohol disinfection. Few companies have extended their efforts to overall health management, addressing risks related to employees' physical conditions. According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, heart disease ranked second among the top ten causes of death in Taiwan in 2020. Additionally, deaths from hypertension and heart disease have increased compared to previous years. Research also shows that a small number of individuals may develop myocarditis or pericarditis after receiving mRNA vaccines such as Moderna or BNT. In the era of COVID-19 coexisting with seasonal flu, there is clearly a need for greater focus on cardiovascular health.
Leadtek Technology Chairman, Lu Kunshan, who has deep expertise in the smart healthcare field, realized that employee health maintenance should align with current environmental changes. Therefore, the company developed a comprehensive health promotion plan, providing employees with pulse oximeters to reduce cases of silent hypoxia from undiagnosed COVID-19, ECG measurements before and after vaccination, stroke prevention, sleep analysis, fatigue assessment, and mental stress analysis, creating a 24/7 health protection network.

Leadtek Technology's HR Director, Yu Zhaorong, said: "During the pandemic, in addition to daily temperature checks, we provided pulse oximeters to ensure employees' oxygen levels. Also, to address concerns about adverse reactions before and after vaccination, we have portable ECG recorders like HRV Guard, which can measure ECG before and after vaccination to understand employees' conditions. The built-in health insurance card reader in the HRV Guard makes it easy for hundreds of employees to record physiological data and, using big data and AI algorithms, provides personalized risk predictions and recommendations, making it perfect for workplace use."

In addition to promoting exercise to strengthen the body, we must adapt to changes in the environment by providing necessary support, such as measuring blood oxygen and ECG levels during the pandemic, ensuring long-term care for employees' physical and mental health, and achieving a happy workforce and a happy enterprise.
Balancing Physical and Mental Health: Setting Up ECG and Autonomic Nervous System Measurement Stations in the Workplace is Not Difficult
"Workplace health" is one of the themes for World Heart Day, which urges workers and employers to focus on cardiovascular health, particularly through regular ECG measurements, smoking cessation programs, and alcohol education.
Dr. Guo Zhengdian, the director of Tai'an Hospital, shared: "An ECG is the simplest non-invasive method to assess heart health. It can determine whether there are arrhythmias, heart enlargement, or coronary artery blockages. Additionally, heart rate variability (HRV), derived from ECG, can quickly show the activity of the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system stimulates excitement in response to stress, while the parasympathetic nervous system helps relaxation and recovery. Autonomic nervous system activity must be regulated according to the body's condition for good health. If autonomic nervous system imbalance occurs, various psychological and physical illnesses can emerge. Previously, ECG and HRV analysis had to be done in hospitals, making it difficult for the public to track results and monitor long-term data. Now, portable ECG recorders solve these issues."

Leadtek Technology launched Taiwan's first medical-grade portable ECG recorder, HRV Guard, with a built-in reader for health insurance cards. This non-invasive device uses ECG signals to measure heart rate, heart rate variability, real-time ECG waveform, and irregular heartbeats. Notably, the HRV Guard is about the size of an A5 notebook, requiring little space and is easy to operate, making it ideal for workplace and primary care clinic use, enabling quick implementation for cloud-based daily tracking. In the post-pandemic era, rental services can integrate oxygen measurement and AI cloud reports for in-depth ECG signal applications.

Medical-Grade ECG Recorder HRV Guard: Only 30 Seconds a Day
Leadtek's medical-grade portable ECG recorder, HRV Guard, takes just 30 seconds a day to record heart rate, heart rate variability, and ECG, making it perfect for personal health self-management. For busy employees, using scientific data to adjust lifestyle and develop better habits can not only improve productivity but also increase employee satisfaction and company loyalty.
From Fitness to Autonomic Nervous System Activity: Creating a New Balanced Health Workplace
After promoting workplace fitness for many years, how can companies verify whether employees are actually becoming healthier? Should exercise methods be adjusted? Leadtek Technology integrates professional medical testing equipment and health management services, using data to prove that Leadtek is not just promoting exercise but also helping employees understand their cardiovascular conditions, stabilize their physical and mental emotions, and regulate their autonomic nervous system for overall balance. Leadtek invites businesses nationwide to join the new, comprehensive health promotion plan, truly realizing a happy workforce and a happy enterprise, creating a healthy workplace environment, and achieving corporate sustainability.
