Introduction

Taiwan successfully nurtured remarkable talent in the biopharmaceuticals, electronics and ICT industries. According to the Health Care Index 2024 ranking released by the global database website NUMBEO, Taiwan ranked first in the world for eight consecutive years, surpassing South Korea, Japan, the Netherlands and France, with its world-leading comprehensive healthcare and national health insurance system. Moreover, the total output value of Taiwan's IC industry ranks second in the world, after the United States. In the post-epidemic era, the field of remote and smart healthcare has become one of the main directions for the development of the global biopharmaceutical industry. By leveraging Taiwan's strengths in clinical medicine and ICT industries, this competitive edge is expected to catalyze the Taiwan’s next industrial boom.

I.    Current Status of Smart Healthcare Development in Taiwan:

Taiwan’s ICT industry’s design and manufacturing capabilities, in conjunction with its capacity for cross-domain integration with the medical industry, offer significant advantages in developing smart healthcare. The output value of Taiwan's smart healthcare industry in 2024 is estimated to be NT$60 billion. Taiwan’s current investment in smart healthcare can be divided into three main categories:

  • Major Electronics Manufacturers: Companies such as Quanta (QOCA telemedicine platform), ASUS (AICS smart healthcare solution) and Compal (Compal i Care System, BoostFix, etc.) have invested in building system integration solutions. This provides a solid foundation for Taiwan's smart healthcare development by leading electronics manufacturers providing essential equipment and data application solutions.
  • Startup Solutions: Many startup teams have created solutions to address clinical needs, such as the Deep01 Limited auxiliary diagnosis system for cerebral hemorrhage, aetherAI’s bone marrow smear interpretation system, Acer Medical's VeriSee DR auxiliary diagnosis system for diabetic retinopathy, and Ever Fortune AI’s chest X-ray assisted diagnostic system, etc. These technologies demonstrate the significant potential of digital technology to transform medical care.
  • Collaborations Between Industry Giants and Startups: Major electronics manufacturers and AI startups are collaborating on developing solutions for clinical needs and challenges. For example, Compal worked with Wistrend to develop the AI Contour and Annotation Platform for heart and blood vessel imaging by utilizing algorithm modules and AI assistance. Similarly, BesTCOM Infotech Corp. and Imvitec Corporation have jointly developed the Brain Radiation Therapy (AVM Brain Arteriovenous Malformation) Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment Image Prediction and Evaluation System. Through AI algorithms, normal brain tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, and diseased blood vessels are automatically contoured to facilitate benefit analysis before radiosurgery and postoperative predictions to assist doctors in understanding the lesion.

II.   Building the Vision for Smart Hospitals

Thanks to the National Health Insurance (NHI), Taiwan’s smart hospitals have a solid foundation for further advancement. During the pandemic, the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) played a crucial role in managing masks, rapid screening and vaccines. The NHI not only provides all citizens with basic healthcare, but also serves as an efficient digital medical records system. This system allows for seamless medical collaboration by enabling the sharing of patients’ medical information between doctors and medical institutions. This data-sharing model not only increases efficiency, but also helps improve patient treatment outcomes and can be extended to national health management. Using the model in diagnosis, prevention and treatment, and the provision of customized patient services, allows Taiwan to develop smart hospitals.

Smart hospitals in Taiwan are rapidly developing, with institutions including National Taiwan University Hospital, Taichung Veterans General Hospital and Changhua Christian Hospital actively building relevant sites and systems. By integrating advanced technology and medical services, these institutions aim to provide patients with better care and experience. The following are key developments in smart hospitals in Taiwan:
