Application 1: Medical materials are lightweight and connected to the Internet to assist rural medical
Posted: Wed Jan 08, 2025 4:39 am
First of all, we can see the trend of "lightweight medical materials". Some operators have successively developed handheld ultrasound machines, three-in-one wound machines, and even small hemodialysis machines for home dialysis. There is no need to lie in the hospital for 4 hours, and dialysis can be done at home while resting or sleeping.
For example, Hon Hai, the leading electronics OEM, teamed up with optical module manufacturer Yang Ming Optical and Chang Gung Memorial Hospital to develop a "handheld smart fundus image capture device" weighing only 600 grams. It claims that a fundus map can detect potential diseases throughout the body. It is also equipped with multiple communication functions of physical SIM card, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It can instantly upload fundus images in remote areas and synchronize the hospital system and user App diagnosis results, making it suitable for remote medical treatment.

Application 2: VR/AR drives digital therapy and rehabilitation can be achieved by playing games
When smartphones, wearable devices, and Internet of Things technology become popular, digital therapy (Digital Therapeutics) becomes a new trend in treatment. The treatment of neurological diseases such as autism, ADHD, and developmental delays requires high-frequency and long-term rehabilitation training.
Taiwan has advantages in the information and communication (ICT) industry and is the fifth largest mobile game market in the world. It has the opportunity to develop wearable VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality) front-end medical devices. In the future, VR virtual coaches will be used to conduct rehabilitation training at home, and the remote doctor can dynamically adjust the training content based on the game results.

Application 3: Connect pharmacies to solve the last mile of medical care
Looking at the approximately 7,000 pharmacies in Taiwan, during the epidemic, people went to pharmacies to buy masks and get screened. In the future, pharmacies will also have the opportunity to play the role of "community health stewards", and pharmacists can also assist in the last mile of drug delivery. .
Taking this epidemic as an example, although online medical consultations are open, people still have to go to the hospital to receive medicines. Huang Suzhen mentioned that drug orders from Japanese clinics are sent online to pharmacies for dispensing, and then the logistics company Black Cat Delivery delivers the medicine to your home; the United States has also tried the ride-hailing platform Uber to provide medicine delivery services. This means that technology can still help in the last mile of drug delivery, and community pharmacies will play a more important role.
