Sharp instruments such as needles, knives, scissors, nails, and ampoules are widely used in hospitals for medical purposes, while literature and medical studies have regarded Needlestick Injuries (NSIs) one of the main occupational hazards among health care workers. That said, material problems of a glass ampoule itself and force applied by medical staff will also cause injuries when bottles are broken.

Therefore, the medical community provides safety tools for opening ampoules and professional workshops to ensure occupational safety and health for all medical staff. Based on the above reasons, we invented this portable product for its safe, easy-to-use.

By applying polypropylene fiber to the outer plastic with an inner silicone gasket covering the cutting blade, we can help the nursing staff prevent debris and trace metals splashes when opening ampoules in a time-saving manner. Through improving the convenience to open glass ampoules, it effectively protects both patients and staff by reducing occupational injuries and cuts.

Air pollution has been known to cause the inducing of asthma, the exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the occurrence lung cancer, and heart and immune diseases. The pollution sources include particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), formaldehyde, carbon monoxide (CO), etc.　People usually think　that these harmful substances are emitted from factories or automobile engines,　which may lead to close the windows or open the air filter　for　quarantining the particles. However,　due to harmful substances from building materials, furniture solvents, printers, perfumes, cleaning agents, etc. will be released. Therefore, if the windows are closed, there is a risk of causing more damage　on the human body.
Accordingly, our　team has　proposed　an automatic air quality tracking system. With the wireless sensing modules　and Internet of Things technologies (IoT), the proposed system is able to compare the concentration between sensing nodes to determine whether the pollution source comes indoors or outdoors as well as the assistance of artificial intelligence with deep learning opening or closing the door and window automatically; which can make right decisions on exclusions.

Nasotracheal intubation during general anesthesia will induce nasal-ala pressure sores if tube care was inadequate. The pressure sores will result in pain and discomfort, moreover, disputes or legal problems.Pressure ulcers occur due to pressure applied to local soft tissue, shear and friction diminish blood flow, and lead to decreased tissue oxygen. The firm fixation of nasotracheal tube and the weights of connecting tubes will increase excessive tension and angulation of the nasotracheal tube against the nose.Nasal pressure ulcers might be painful and a cosmetic problem for patients. It also increased medical cost and prolonged hospital stays and infection rates. The modified method of nasotracheal tube fixation. The innovation frame used the concepts of Y shape horn as fork. It elevatesnasotracheal tube from nose and moving with patients head’s direction without pull tubing, no matter in supine or upright position, the frame support is strong and prevent pressure on alar skin.

Artificial Intelligence Medical:
Taipei Cancer Center introduces cancer treatment aid system Watson for Oncology (WFO) as well as the gene therapy aid system Watson for Genomic (WFG) to let the public recognize the clinical application of artificial intelligence system. By entering patient data into the system and comparing with medical literature and expert advice, WFO can therefore assist physicians in finding the most appropriate treatment for their patients. WFG can bring together a large number of tumor genes and build a database that is updated monthly and offer the most complete and up-to-date treatment advice for oncologists.
Compact Proton Therapy Center:
A comparison of the differences in dose distribution between traditional photon therapy and custom proton therapy by simulation of on-site clinical cases is provided. Taipei Cancer Center uses the most advanced radiotherapy equipment available, including the fourth generation of superconducting proton therapy machines with the latest features such as Pencil Beam and Cone Beam CT, in hopes of providing patients with more precise treatment.
