In the news video of Formosa TV, Taiwan’s broadcast news station, the booth from China Medical University and its related healthcare system at the 2022 Healthcare+ Expo showed off a number of achievements related to innovation and award-winning products. Wong Chi-huey, the head of the Institute for Biotechnology and Medicine Industry, was among many drawn by the exhibits. This year in 2022, China Medical University focused on six themes, including AI, smart medical care and regenerative medicine. The university has won 22 national awards for innovation, the highest number ever.
The CMUH’s AI healthcare system also demonstrated how AI can save lives in ambulances. A medical personnel put a patch on a patient’s chest and installed a special instrument. An electrocardiogram can be performed directly on a smart phone via Bluetooth. The CMUH has developed a heart attack remote diagnosis system using AI, which greatly shortens the process of patient checkups upon arrival at hospitals. It’s already used by ambulance staff for 14 fire brigades in Taiwan’s Central cities, including Taichung and Nantou.
Superintendent of China Medical University, Cho Der-yang said ,”Ambulance personnel are not doctors, so it is difficult for them to judge whether it is a myocardial infarction. This takes up a lot of time and can be shortened. You can know just after a minute after the patient’s in whether there is or isn’t a myocardial infarction.” China Medical University has invested in a number of research and development projects. The UMCH strives to promote its findings and inventions in the 18 nations that are part of the government’s New Southbound Policy so that the world can see Taiwan’s innovative capabilities.
