Ploger is a wearable device brand from Prochild, which possesses Bluetooth expertise.
The IoT health band is a diet wearable device that national trainer Sean Lee personally participated in developing, and is well known as the olleh GiGA IoT health band.
The "S Trainer," a wearable device dedicated to dieting, includes a 15-minute diet exercise method and diet menu that anyone in Korea, regardless of age or gender, can easily follow. The 15 LEDs embroidered on the band's body are designed to resemble a quilted pattern reminiscent of Chanel. The S Trainer's dedicated app introduces 12 specialized S training methods (15 with the option included) by Sean Lee, as well as aerobic exercise methods such as walking and running. The company explained that the systematic diet menu will greatly contribute to diet success by harmonizing with free-style eating to avoid boredom.

Additionally, ACUBEL smart diapers help protect babies from diaper rash. ACUBEL's sensors measure the temperature and humidity of the diaper, alerting you when it's time to change it.
Prochild designer Eunhye Lee explained, "Smart diapers are products that can be easily attached to diapers," and "even busy working moms, new mothers, and tech-savvy mothers who are not familiar with smartphones can use them easily."

The Problem with AI is Not Performance, but Trust
CEO Kang Min-seung emphasized at Snowflake's World Tour Seoul that generative AI has entered a phase where "trust" rather than accuracy becomes the key competitive advantage. As AI is applied to various tasks including consultation, risk management, and operational automation, incorrect data, erroneous responses, and bias are creating actual business risks. He pointed out that enterprises must build a trust layer above AI. To achieve this, accurate data management, semantic structuring, governance, and prompt security are essential. He explained that AI is not merely an automation tool but a technology that reorganizes the entire organization's workflows and decision-making systems. Snowflake provides a platform that supports this trust-based AI operation, emphasizing that enterprises should build "trustworthy AI" rather than "intelligent AI."

The Decisive Factor for AI Agents in Finance: "Trustworthy Data Infrastructure"
The key to spreading AI agents in the financial sector is establishing a trustworthy data system. KB Kookmin Bank is operating over 100 AI agents by 2025 and is promoting expansion to 300. AI is automating repetitive tasks across various areas such as consultation, risk management, wealth management, and relationship management. However, if data quality, governance, and semantic structuring are insufficient, errors and risks increase. KB is building an AI-Ready organization through a multi-model strategy of GPT, Gemini, and Claude, as well as a Snowflake-based data system. The bank emphasized that AI has entered a phase where it restructures not just simple automation but the entire work process and decision-making system.
