The adoption of new technologies in the trauma field can improve the treatment and the outcome of the patients. Hip fractures are the leading type of fracture in elderly individuals and commonly see in the emergency department. Early diagnosis and management of hip fractures might preserve the joint\'s function, ambulation, and quality of life of the patient and reduced complications. The initial misdiagnosis of hip fractures will lead to advert consequences. However, the misdiagnosis of hip fracture remains in the chaos and busy emergency room with multiple patients or inexperienced physicians. In the emergency room, the physicians have to rapidly and precisely treat the trauma patients, where artificial intelligence can help.
The deep learning algorithm emerged in several medical image domains which proved to have promising performance. Our team developed a deep learning based computer-assisted hip fracture diagnosis system which can assist the primary physician to rapidly detect the possible fracture site. Once the diagnosis can be made earlier, the patient can receive definite treatment earlier. We also developed a human-AI collaboration mechanism to improve the diagnostic accuracy of physicians to make diagnoses precisely and improve the quality of medical care.

Multiple risk factors may lead to pharmacist dispensing errors, such as medications with look-alike, sound alike characteristics, with multiple strengths, with multiple dosage forms or human factors including not familiar with the medication cabinets, fatigue, not exactly making double check.
Changhua Christian Hospital began to cooperate with academic research units in developing Cell Indicator System for Pharmacies since 2014. Through this system, pharmacists can use barcode scanner to scan QR code from the medication bag, and then LED lights up to indicate the correct type of drug to fill. Pharmacists can fetch the correct medications based on the intelligent designs of visual instruction (light, color), verbal instructions and gesture sensors. This system can also support with different dosage forms in cabinet shelves or drawers.
This Smart Cell Indicator System can satisfy the requirement for dispensing in Taiwan. We believe this system can prevent dispensing error effectively, reduce pharmacist workload, and improve dispensing efficiency. Therefore, pharmacists can spend more time on direct patient care and improve the pharmaceutical care quality.

Fall Prevention Center (FPC) in Changhua Christian Hospital (CCH) has been committed to establish the health care system that ensures patient safety for years. It aims to prevent patient falls and decrease fall-related injuries. Our transdisciplinary team has developed a “mobile smart infrared bed-exit monitor” (Monibed). This product uses multiple infrared modules to monitor the behavior of patients and to reduce the false alarm. The device features include two sit-up/bed-exit modes for monitoring and highly mobile design for easy installation. The Monibed is compatible with most nurse call system, and equipped with Wi-Fi for smart medical care use. It also solves privacy concerns, which is frequently questioned by using the surveillance camera. The monitor has been patented in Taiwan, US, and China. It could be applied in healthcare institutes and home to reduce accidental falls of the patients and the burden of caregivers

Nasogastric (NG) tube is a PVC or silicon tube inserted via nasal passage to provide gastric lavage, feeding or administration of drugs. Placement of NG tube is a common procedure in clinical setting. The placement of a NG tube has to be confirmed to the location of the stomach before feeding. Misplacement of NG tubes to the trachea can lead to life-threatening condition, such as aspiration pneumonia after feeding into trachea.

We developed a novel method to confirming NG tube placement by using electro-magnet sensor system. A RFID sensor microchip is mounted at the tip of the NG tube. We use a detector for electro-magnet circuit to identify the signal the location of the NG tube. The electro-magnet sensor system with frequency of 120 kHz~140 kHz allows accurate identification of the placement of an NG tube, which can be a useful tool for confirming bedside NG tube placement.

This game is a cognitive detection and emotion expression system using nostalgic experience. In the past two years, the cognitive function evaluation game with a personal stand-alone player has been expanded to a board game system, and this year, it has been enhanced to a desktop, wall or screen device with touch functions; the software has developed more games for cognitive functions This item can evaluate cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, and calculation; increase the interactive function of two persons, increase the frequency of interaction between the elderly and others, and enhance interpersonal relationships; combine the ECG signal, brain wave signal, and peripheral blood flow during games Physiological signal measurement and acquisition of signal characteristics. AI analysis is currently being introduced to evaluate the player’s emotions. It is hoped that this can be used to understand the degree of emotional relief and is also useful for long-term tracking of changes in their psychological and emotional state. The system continues to promote and test the system in the community in conjunction with long-term care activities to create public welfare value; it also continues to invite medical long-term care and social welfare units to visit, and contacts with potential industry players to actively seek commercialization and applications.
