“Chest X-ray Supportive Detection System” in AILabs, the first TFDA approved AI-based X ray supportive detection system for COVID-19

Dr. Cheng in National Taiwan University Hospital has developed an AI based “Chest X-ray Supportive Detection System” with Taiwan AILAbs. This AI system can automatically detect the suspected area of COVID -19 infection in chest X-ray (CXR), reveal it by heatmap, and actively warn the medical staff about the suspicious cases. The accuracy of this model is up to 91.78%. It can be used, alongside PCR testing and rapid antigen tests, as a fast diagnostic tool to detect COVID-19. The TFDA had gave approval for commercialization of the AI system on a special basis (TFDA/EUA). The strength of the model is summarized in the following:

• Approved by TFDA/EUA in Taiwan, CE in Europe
• The accuracy is up to 91.78%
• Used in patients with lower respiratory tract symptoms as a fast detection tool
• Integrated with the PACS(Picture Archiving and Communication System) in most hospitals

National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH), Center of Intelligent Healthcare (CIH)

NTUH is partner with Microsoft and has launched wearable devices like HoloLens App for assisting healthcare monitoring and services. For instance, in emergency rooms and intensive care units, or for COVID-19 quarantine room, the zero-contact diagnosis and treatment method not only greatly reduces the risk of medical and nursing infections, but also improves the shortage of first-line medical staff under the epidemic. Other practical examples include medical data access, immediate monitoring as well as the medical operations with some constraints.

In addition, due to the spread of COVID-19 and the infection and death of people who are prematurely ill from 2019 to 2021, the Center of Intelligent Healthcare (CIH) of our hospital has completed the development and is currently entering the test phase of the Intelligent Medical Imaging Assistance System for potential SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our technology of analysis reports such as predicting the severity of the patient and the outcome and prognostic analysis of the disease, so as to provide the valuable reference for the clinical decisions in the hospitals.

National Taiwan University Hospital Yunlin Branch

Less contact but much closer care ---- QOCA telemedicine

National Taiwan University Hospital Yunlin Branch cooperates with Quanta Computer in developing a platform of telehealth service. Designed with the concept of “less contact but much closer care”, this platform combines the advantages of medical big data and new communication technology to monitor the physical and mental health of COVID-19 patients remotely by tablet and Internet of Things (IoT) during the stay in hospital and at home. By monitoring patients’ body temperature, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, electrocardiography, phonocardiography, breath sounds, with the combination of self-reporting questionnaire by 5-item Brief Symptom Rating Scale (BSRS-5) to reflect mental status, the medical team can easily recognize the latest condition of patients. By using videoconferencing platform, patients can receive real-time rehabilitations, psychological counseling, and other interdisciplinary cares, whenever in quarantine, during hospitalization, or even after discharge. This platform delivers not only digital data, but also the sincerity, professionalism, and love from the medical team.

1.Taiwan's elderly population is expected to exceed 20% by 2025. As the population ages and the elderly population grows, the issue of sarcopenia is receiving more attention. Sarcopenia has been shown in previous studies to increase the mortality rate of the elderly by 2.34 times. The effective diagnosis and treatment of sarcopenia is a critical public health issue. The Comprehensive Screening System for Sarcopenia (CSSS) and nutritional supplements (Sarcopenia Intervention Regimen, SIR) developed in our hospital are expected to be the first complete solution model in Taiwan to accurately diagnose sarcopenia and provide effective intervention.
2.The digital dentistry is changing the world. The intra-oral scanner provides dentists with precise 3D images of teeth. Computer aided design (CAD) software digitally generates the restoration proposal. Computer aided manufacture (CAM) milling machine which mills and grinds a porcelain material to cut the unique crown.
The differences between same-day crowns and regular crowns is the time it takes to create the dental crown. The former is built within approximately three hours. The latter take days to a couple of weeks.
With digital dentistry, patients only have to come in once for the whole process.
