According to estimates from the United Nations, 500 million people worldwide receive a diabetes diagnosis every five seconds, and by 2030, there will be an estimated 643 million cases. Ed Deng noticed how time-consuming and error-prone it was for family members to record their blood sugar levels on a regular basis in order to effectively manage diabetes, particularly while interacting with carers or healthcare institutions. Co-founding Health2Sync in 2013, he started creating digital healthcare solutions. Patients can record their daily health data with the Health2Sync app by integrating it with various devices and measurements, such as blood pressure, weight scales, wireless insulin pens, and blood sugar monitors. Healthcare providers may easily and reliably examine this data on the Patient Management Platform, which serves as a foundation for appropriate medicine prescriptions and food recommendations. Worldwide, there are over 1.2 million registered users of the Health2Sync app. Health2Sync has partnered with global leaders in diabetes treatment, including Abbott, Sanofi, Novo Nordisk, and AstraZeneca.

In the very precise aerospace sector, confidence is essential. NASA intends to deploy several "Data Cubes" on the moon in September of 2023. These cubes will enable astronauts in the future to "check in'' and use blockchain technology to confirm their existence on the moon. The information on the blockchain can be used to validate any scepticism or conspiracy ideas. Not only NASA, but even Slovakian blockchain startup 3IPK sees blockchain's promise in "space." They store extremely private information, such as satellite imaging data and supply chain information, using blockchain technology. This approach has attracted interest from the European Space Agency, Airbus, and even the Taiwan Space Agency. Space data can facilitate accurate transactions, just like cryptocurrencies do! The aerospace sector, where mistakes are not tolerated, has greatly benefited from 3IPK's increased reliability! In this episode, Ashley Reeves, Head of Taiwan & Asia Pacific at 3IPK, and co-founder Juraj Zamecnik talk about their shared goal, the history of their company, and how 3IPK came to work with the Taiwan Space Agency. In this episode of Startup Island Taiwan Podcast, you will find out: ☛ Juraj's dedication to the aerospace sector is not by happenstance. ☛ The rationale behind establishing a firm in Taiwan ☛ Some of the supply chain management difficulties that businesses in this industry confront ☛ In what ways do blockchain and other technologies ensure security, legitimacy, and confidence? ☛ In what direction do Ashley and Juraj see 3IPK heading?

E-commerce has changed people's lives dramatically. According to a BigCommerce trend research, although e-commerce purchases accounted for 14.1% of worldwide retail sales, the figure is expected to rise to 22% by 2023. There are a number of new e-commerce trends that have emerged over the years, including the mobile consumer experience, social software shopping, and precision marketing. When people begin shopping online, the customer journey is easily tracked and serves as the foundation for merchants' re-marketing efforts. "The problem is, I've discovered that businesses generally don't know how to use data to solve business problems," explains Tresl founder John Chao.
