TELEMEDICINE
Overview
With the vigorous development of mobile communication, Internet of Things, AI, and information security, how to use related technologies to mitigate the impact of aging, low birthrate, shortage of medical staff and emergency resources, rising hospital costs, and the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic, and how to assist enterprises in managing employees’ health and preventing occupational diseases are important issues in the development of smart medical. We develop technologies such as medical information standardization, health data protection and authorization, integrate physiological measurement equipment, and build a health cloud service system to provide services such as personal health data collecting and sharing, health management, and risk grading. With the “Cloud Based Health Service System” as the core, integrating AIoMT (Artificial Intelligence of Medical Things) equipment and wearable devices, etc., to develop sleep monitoring, blood oxygen saturation monitoring, and telemedicine platforms, providing sleep tracking and silent hypoxia protection, and remote outpatient clinics/consultation/rehabilitation. We have also developed an emergency medical rescue information integration solution to instantly grasp emergency medical resources and patient information, and automated reporting to reduce the hospital's manpower burden and gain rescue time. In addition, we have developed an “Enterprise Health management system “to provide enterprises with health check management and occupational disease prevention services that comply with occupational safety regulations, reduce the occurrence of labor occupational diseases and assist enterprises to take care of their employees, thereby enhancing employee productivity and corporate health image.TELEMEDICINE

APPLICATION SITUATION
Cloud Based Health Service System：We use technologies such as health information standardization, AIoMT(Artificial Intelligence of Medical Things), health data privacy protection, data authorization and exchange, combined with physiological measurement and wearable devices and personal health records(electronic medical records, health passbooks, health examination reports, and daily measurements, etc.) aggregation to provide measurement reminder, exercise plan, symptom return, risk analysis, health promotion functionalities. Currently, we cooperate with the Zuoying Branch of Kaohsiung Armed Forces General Hospital, Tri-Service General Hospital, Mennonite Christian Hospital, etc., with the institutions’ professional health care, case management, care information, health education guidance, etc., to provide care services for chronic disease health management and improve tracking after health examinations. We were also selected as the finalists for the 8th "APAC Eldercare Innovation Awards 2020".
Telemedicine Platform：With the “Cloud Based Health Service System” as the core, we combined 5G mobile networks and mobile medical equipment to provide video consultation and care services, and develop telemedicine and collaborative care technology to reduce the risk of exposure to infection for medical care personnel. Currently, our platform is applied in Home Clinic Dulan, New Taipei Wulai District Health Center, and Yuan Rung Hospital supporting hospitals to conduct remote consultations, sharing medical images such as ENT mirror, ultrasound, 12-lead electrocardiogram, etc., and synchronize conditions through smart glasses. With immediate access to professional guidance and advice from remote physicians, we can effectively improve the quality of medical care in rural areas. The service has been affirmed by medical institutions and can be expanded to video outpatient, community medical tours, and home visits in the future.
Sleep Quality & Silent Hypoxia Detection System：We utilize health information format standardization, the artificial intelligence of medical things, health data privacy protection and authorization sharing, etc., to collect various physiological and activity data during daily sleep at home. Combined with 5G mobile networks and TFDA (Taiwan Food and Drug Administration) certified wearable medical devices, using the professional AI analysis of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University’s Digital Medicine Center, to perform multiple sleep physiological functionality analyses and silent hypoxia monitoring. The sleep monitoring service is used in the Health Trend Healthcare Center and Taipei Veterans General Hospital’s psychiatry department and sleep disorder clinic to help people reduce the risk of sleep disorders and won the "18th National Innovation Award in 2021". When the COVID-19 pandemic heats up in 2021, the silent hypoxia detection system is applied to the New Taipei City Hospital, Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Hospital’s COVID-19 ward, and the long-term care ward in Kaohsiung Municipal Min-Sheng Hospital to monitor and analyze the blood oxygen saturation level of patients/residents, predicts the potential of blood oxygen deterioration and immediately notify the relevant medical workers to prevent the risk of hypoxia, economize manpower, reduce contact risks, and improve patients’ safety and care quality. A total of more than 100 patients have been cared for, successfully preventing sudden death caused by silent hypoxemia. We have won the "2021 18th National Innovation Award", and the "2021 Digital Technology Solution Competition Jury Award of the Industrial Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs".
Emergency Medical Rescue Information Integration Technology：We integrate information communication technology and emergency disaster information exchange standard, EDXL (Emergency Data Exchange Language). Connect the central, hospital, and fire department units to establish a data exchange mechanism to achieve real-time sharing of resources, and create a disaster mobilization information reference and medical resource scheduling tool. Develop the pre-hospital early warning application that the ambulance will report the patient's condition and important information before arriving at the hospital, which will help the emergency room prepare for hospitalization in advance and strive for golden rescue time. Develop the emergency medical information integration application for county and city governments to assist county and city governments to collect information on emergency medical needs in an automated way (such as: emergency full load, referral cases, patients of large-scale activities, inpatient tracking, etc.), which helps improve the efficiency of scheduling and improve the timeliness of medical team preparation. This technological achievement has been applied to Kaohsiung City and effectively coordinates the existing emergency medical resources in the Kaohsiung area.
Enterprise Health Management System： We combine technologies such as health risk classification, health promotion, and prevention of emerging occupational diseases in the workplace, to develop an enterprise health management system to assist enterprises in taking care of their employees' health. We provide health examinations and emerging occupational disease risk management tools that comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Law, to help health managers and workplace doctors take care of employees' health and meet labor inspection needs. The enterprise health management system has been used by more than 20 enterprises in Taiwan, serving more than 100,000 enterprise employees. This application won the "Excellent Application Award of 2020 Cloud Computing and Internet of Things Innovation Award".
