ESTsoft has teamed up with Shinhan Cubeon to introduce the first AI human home trainer in the domestic healthcare market.

ESTsoft (CEO Jung Sang-won), an AI service specialist company, announced on the 12th that it will launch a home training service using AI humans in cooperation with digital healthcare company Shinhan Cubeon (CEO Lee Yong-beom).

The launch of this service is an achievement made in just over three months since both companies entered the service development. Earlier this year, both parties confirmed ESTsoft's AI human operating at a commercial level even in a dynamic environment and signed a business agreement and main contract for the development of an AI human for healthcare in succession. As a result, they have launched a home training class using an AI human.

With this, ESTsoft successfully introduced its first AI human using its own IP in the healthcare market, thereby strengthening the revenue and profit base of its aggressive AI new business that the company is currently pursuing.

The service launched by the two companies was born by equipping the AI home training app service 'HowFit' by Shinhan Cubeon with ESTsoft's own IP, the AI human 'Kim Iso'. Specifically, AI human 'Kim Iso' appears as a pilates and yoga instructor in 'HowFit', which helps users exercise with accurate posture on their own using AI motion recognition technology, and operates home training classes.

Especially, AI human 'Kim Iso' has overcome the limitations of multi-angle implementation that occur in previously released AI humans by generating images not only from the front but also from the left, right, and even from the top and bottom. By enhancing AI technologies such as 'face detection', 'facial feature point analysis', and 'character generation' developed in-house, it has created a three-dimensional AI human that responds to various movements. In addition, Kim Iso was produced in ultra-high definition that is hard to distinguish from real people using high-quality data provided by its own studio with global top-level specifications, and in addition, applied a friendly IP to provide users with the optimal exercise environment.

The official name of the class is 'Virtual Home Partner Kim Iso AI Home Training'. The class is structured into a 4-week curriculum, consisting of 8 classes of 120 minutes tailored to the exercise goals such as aerobic exercise, upper and lower body, abdomen, etc. The difficulty of the exercises was adjusted to a beginner's level so that more users can experience the AI human. Currently, this class is available for free with a special promotion on the HowFit app.

Starting with this class launch, both companies plan to expand services based on AI humans into various themes such as yoga, meditation, diet management, etc. To this end, ESTsoft has decided to actively use the AI human IP secured in various industrial areas such as entertainment and education.

Lee Yong-beom, CEO of Shinhan Cubeon, said, "I expect that exercise content using AI humans will provide customers with a fresh experience," and "As we have focused our know-how of both companies to launch a new service, I hope many will use it."

Jung Sang-won, CEO of ESTsoft, said, "I am confident that the highly advanced AI human will bring innovation to the healthcare market as well as other industries such as education and finance," and "We plan to continue to strengthen cooperation between the two companies so that more advanced healthcare services can consistently come to market."

Meanwhile, the virtual human market that ESTsoft is pursuing as an AI new business has a very high growth potential and is receiving global attention. Global market research firm Emergen Research has also projected that the global virtual human market will grow to a size of 527.58 billion dollars by 2030.
