2024-10-04 11:18 Last Updated At:11:35

BANGKOK, Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Siriraj Hospital excels in maintaining its high standards for every service, including diagnostics through the integration of cutting-edge technology into its medical services, furthering its mission to become a global leader in healthcare. The hospital is focused on expanding its diagnostic expertise across all specialties and strategically uses artificial intelligence (AI) to boost diagnostic speed and accuracy. These advancements contribute to earlier disease diagnosis, a critical factor in treating patients.

Siriraj Hospital offers comprehensive imaging modalities, including X-rays, mammograms, CT scans, MRIs, PET-CT, ultrasound, and fluoroscopy, serving a total of 655,389 patients in 2023. The hospital's use of PACs for reporting results, coupled with AI-powered imaging diagnostics, has achieved an accuracy rate of 91.35%. This AI technology, certified by The Royal College of Radiologists of Thailand to be nearly on par with human radiologists (with less than a 5% margin of error), is now being utilized in over 40 hospitals under the Ministry of Public Health.

Siriraj Hospital's laboratory diagnostics encompass hematology, blood chemistry, serology, and molecular diagnostics, including cancer mutation detection for targeted therapies through next-generation sequencing. With the capacity to process over 23,000 tests daily, Siriraj has pioneered the use of an online blood smear imaging system in collaboration with private partners, making it the first hospital in Thailand to fully implement this innovative technology. Moreover, the introduction of allele-specific quantitative PCR in cancer mutation detection has significantly exhibited the promising sign of cancer treatment and reduced reliance on imported reagents, enhancing the affordability and accessibility of these critical tests for patients.

Siriraj operates state-of-the-art parasitology and microbiology labs equipped with 36 advanced scientific instruments, performing an average of 140 tests daily. The hospital's microbiology division includes seven BSL2/BSL2+ biosafety labs, specializing in the analysis of microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, mycobacteria, and Toxoplasma parasites. More than 380,000 tests are conducted annually. Siriraj is also home to Thailand's only WASP® automated specimen processing system, the first of its kind in the country.

The hospital's range of genetic diagnostics includes chromosome and DNA analysis for detecting genetic disorders. With over 100 specialized tests, many of which are available at only a few centers nationwide, Siriraj's Molecular Genetics Lab is a leader in the field. The lab's pioneering research has led to the inclusion of BRCA1/2 gene testing for breast cancer patients under the national health insurance scheme.

The Pathology Department at Siriraj is staffed by specialists covering all systems, analyzing around 250 surgical and cytology specimens daily, in addition to 200 special pathology tests. Key services include digital pathology, electron microscopy, and high-precision immunohistochemistry techniques for biomarkers such as ER, PR, HER2, and Ki67.

Siriraj also offers forensic testing services, including drug, toxin, and volatile substance analysis, identity verification, and evidence testing. The hospital's forensic division utilizes 210 highly accurate instruments and conducted 67,514 forensic tests in 2023.

Siriraj Hospital has received multiple international certifications, including ISO 15189 and ISO 15190, and is the first and only teaching hospital in Thailand accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP). This recognition reflects the hospital's commitment to delivering medical services that meet the highest global standards.

As one of Thailand's premier medical institutions, Siriraj Hospital is committed to delivering world-class healthcare to patients across the country and throughout the ASEAN region. In addition to its leading role in medical education, Siriraj contributes significant research that drives global advancements in medical science.

World's Leading Provider of Cutting-Edge Smart Ring Solutions

NEW YORK, May 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RingConn opened Gen 3 pre-orders on May 5th ahead of its official May 29th launch, marking the occasion with a feature on the iconic One Times Square billboard in New York City on the first day of pre-orders. The next-generation device combines holistic health tracking, subtle smart alerts, and new premium finishes, delivering an ultra-lightweight and slim design without compromising long battery life. To celebrate the launch, customers who pre-order through the official RingConn website can enjoy a limited-time 10% discount.*

Vascular Trend tracking

RingConn Gen 3 Smart Ring introduces advanced vascular insights, designed to help users observe long‑term vascular trends through continuous data collection.*

Built on over a decade of research in vascular algorithms and modeling, RingConn's vascular capability moves beyond single-point measurements to long-term trend-based assessment. The system requires periodic user calibration to ensure improved accuracy, with recommendations for calibration three times within the first 24 hours and monthly thereafter. By combining user-input blood pressure data with ring-derived vascular load indicators, the system provides a more comprehensive view of overall vascular health.

Once calibrated, Gen 3 enables automatic vascular load assessments during periods of sleep or low motion, allowing users to continuously track meaningful changes over time without frequent manual input. The system also incorporates key influencing factors—including circadian rhythm adaptation, sleep respiratory health, post-exercise vascular recovery, and overall daily vascular stability—to help users better understand the relationship between lifestyle and cardiovascular patterns.

Effortless 24/7 Wearability with Extended Battery Life

RingConn Gen 3 Smart Ring is designed for continuous and comfortable wear, with a fully upgraded experience centered on durability and long-term usability. Featuring a refined ultra-lightweight form factor and enhanced engineering design, the device is built to seamlessly integrate into daily life, enabling consistent and uninterrupted health data tracking.

Powered by RingConn EcoPower Tech 2.0, the Gen 3 features an upgraded battery system and improved energy density, delivering up to 11–14 days of battery life in standard usage without vibration mode. This reduces charging frequency and supports continuous, long-term health monitoring with minimal interruption.

The ring adopts RingConn's proprietary ergonomic design, resulting in a lighter and thinner profile that conforms more naturally to the finger. With IP68 water resistance up to 100 meters, the Gen 3 is designed for durability in everyday use, enabling reliable performance across a wide range of real-life scenarios. Together, these features allow users to wear the device seamlessly through typing, handwashing, showering, swimming, and sleep - ensuring uninterrupted physiological data collection day and night.

A refined brushed finish, achieved through an advanced laser-engraving process, enhances the device's surface texture with greater precision and depth. The upgraded finishing process requires over 30% more production time compared to conventional methods, reflecting a higher level of craftsmanship. Expanded color options further enhance versatility, allowing the ring to blend naturally into both casual and professional environments while encouraging consistent daily wear.

Holistic Health Tracking

RingConn Gen 3 Smart Ring delivers comprehensive health tracking across multiple key dimensions, including sleep, sleep apnea, heart rate, blood oxygen, activity, stress, and women's health management such as menstrual cycle tracking and pregnancy preparation-related insights. Through continuous monitoring and long-term analysis, the device provides users with a more complete understanding of their health status over time, supporting more informed daily lifestyle decisions.

The system is powered by an advanced VCSEL infrared sensing solution, designed to enhance data stability and accuracy across a wide range of wearing conditions and real-world scenarios, strengthening the foundation for long-term health trend analysis. In internal testing, the system achieved a resting heart rate accuracy of ≥98.58%, a blood oxygen mean absolute error (MAE) of ≤0.95%, a step count accuracy of ≥97.20%, and a temperature accuracy of ±0.08°C, demonstrating strong performance in multi-dimensional health data capture.

Subtle Smart Alert

RingConn Gen 3 Smart Ring introduces subtle smart alerts to provide timely feedback when key health changes are detected. Through gentle vibration-based notifications, the device can also prompt users in scenarios such as prolonged inactivity or low battery, helping support more balanced daily usage and awareness. In quiet environments — such as during meetings or conversations — these silent notifications allow users to stay informed without disruptive sounds or attention-grabbing screen notifications.

The alert system is fully customizable, allowing users to enable or disable notifications based on personal preference. By prioritizing minimal disruption and silent vibration cues over intrusive alerts, RingConn ensures that health reminders remain discreet, context-aware, and seamlessly integrated into everyday life.

*Pre-order offer: The 10% limited-time discount is available exclusively at the RingConn official website from May 5 through June 10, 2026.
