A delegation organized by the National Science and Technology Council attended the global conference and exhibition of the U.S.-based Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society March 3-6 in Las Vegas.
According to the NSTC, the group comprised representatives from five hospitals around the country that showcase Taiwan’s strengths in artificial intelligence-enhanced healthcare, telecare and health data applications. The conference offered opportunities to further expand Taiwan’s global presence in the field, an endeavor that Chang Bing Show Chwan Memorial Hospital in the central county of Changhua has experience with through a partnership with France-based Institut de Recherche Contre les Cancers de l’Appareil Digestif.
In southern Taiwan, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Smart Hospital’s AI-powered HOPES (Hepatoma-Omics-Patient E-Journey System) is a world-leading platform that integrates the treatment paths of liver cancer patients to build AI models for better clinical decision-making. In the central city of Taichung, China Medical University Hospital’s Healthcare Internet of Things Tele-ICU monitoring system provides real-time video to view patients as if in person and has AI diagnostic functions to assist in diagnosing and alerting for severe conditions.
In response to the global push for more medical data applications and digital transition, the NSTC launched the Smart Healthcare Academia-Industry Alliance Program in 2021 to integrate resources from different streams within the medical field. Attendance at HIMSS 2025 is an ideal venue to continue expanding global partnerships and maintain Taiwan’s leading position in the field of smart medicine, the agency added. (SFC-E)
