Scheduled to run through October 25, the event showcases artificial intelligence-based consumer hardware across sectors including healthcare and childcare.
Among the featured exhibits, Ningbo-based manufacturer Mamibao presented a smart baby crib equipped with a real-time monitoring camera that alerts caregivers if an infant's nose or mouth is obstructed. Company representative Nie Ning noted that Mamibao previously manufactured goods for foreign brands before pivoting to develop its own high-tech brand, adding that the smart crib is currently sold in mainland China and Dubai.
In medical technology, E3A Healthcare co-founder and chief financial officer Chen Hongyuan detailed an AI model developed for a smart fetal monitor intended to predict the onset of labor.
