MYEG Launches AI‑Powered Risk‑Check for Chinese Visitors
In a recent move that feels like a superhero cape for public health, Malaysia’s MYEG Services Bhd rolled out an artificial‑intelligence system to profile the coronavirus risk of travelers coming from China. The tech‑savvy duo is offering this service to Malaysia’s own government—and to the Philippines as well—just in time for a global pandemic that’s as unpredictable as a weather‑watching dog.
Why the Scrutiny?
Malaysia’s ministers, following the president’s call to close borders, have barred visitors from provinces in China that are locked down. After a 22‑case spike in the Malaysian market and a 3‑case (including one death) report from the Philippines, the stakes were high. That’s why MYEG stepped up at the last minute.
How the System Works
- It digs into a traveler’s historical geolocation data—think of it as a GPS‑based health detective.
- It pulls in heart‑rate and blood‑pressure statistics to spot any lab‑new anomalies.
- Public transport data is cross‑checked to see if the visitor has hopped on any buses or trains that passed through infection hotspots.
- All these data points feed into a fully automated engine that instantly produces a risk profile.
- If a red flag pops up, health authorities get an immediate alert—ready to swoop in for evacuation, quarantine, or whatever the situation calls for.
Partnership Power
MYEG partners with Phoenix Travel Worldwide, a Beijing‑based travel agency that has a knack for connecting travelers with precision. Together, they’re aiming to make travel safer, one AI‑predicted risk score at a time.
Bottom Line
Whether you’re flying over from Shanghai or dosing in from a remote Chinese province, MYEG’s brand‑new system looks to keep the infection rate down while making the check‑in process as smooth as a butter‑sliding ski run.
