10/31 筑波醫電攜手藝術家做公益

筑波醫電董事長許深福將觸角延伸至藝術人文,公司大廳變身藝廊,成為訪客和同仁的心靈療癒空間。

位於竹北生醫園區的筑波醫電,將公司一樓大廳規劃為筑波藝廊,並在每年最後一季檔期攜手展出藝術家做公益,每賣出一幅畫作的百分之十捐給弱勢團體。

筑波醫電表示,即日起至十一月十五日推出「台灣隱藏畫家鍾文熙」個展。鍾文熙旅美四十五年,曾為憂鬱症所苦,甚至一度放棄繪畫三十年,後來受到鼓勵重拾畫筆,對生活環境變化跟一切遭遇都充滿感恩。此次展出作品橫跨兒時族群記憶、美國生活及國外旅遊,以寫實手法讓觀者如同偽出國般遊歷。

董事長許深福二十六日在接待外國訪客時,首站即以藝術總監身分為來賓導覽解說;接著才進到公司內部說明筑波醫電係以開拓台灣本土精密無創,微創醫療設備能量且推廣於國際,建立台灣從3C到三醫(醫才、醫技、醫材)的產業鏈平台數位轉型與人才培育,提升數位力。

筑波藝廊負責人由從歷史博物館退休的曾曾旂擔任。他說,筑波藝廊希望扶植年輕一輩畫家,此藝廊免租金,且有許多外國訪客到訪,是很好行銷自己至國際舞台的機會。

許深福說,《筑》是古代之擊絃樂器,形狀似箏,音質清亮且優美;《波》是彼此心靈所激盪出來的律動,願科技與人文藝術的融合,讓社會每一個角落都能創造出更多采多姿的共鳴。

On October 18th, 2022, TAITA Silicon Valley holds the 15th UTBEF: US-Taiwan Biomedical Engineering Forum at Delta Hotels by Marriott Santa Clara Silicon Valley. The National Science and Technology Council organizes an event for AI biotechnology experts from the San Francisco Bay Area and Taiwan practical sharing. More than 1000 VIP representatives join the event. Taiwan ACE Biotek receives a special invitation to display the AI technology application in antiCOVID-19 prevention. The products are Wallie Screen AI Rapid Temperature Screening System and O-Ring Automatic Hand Sanitizer Dispenser set at the entrance.

How is AI being used in the biotech and healthcare industry? In line with the policy of “Precision Medicine Industry Strategy” and promoting the interaction between Taiwan and the US Silicon biomedical engineering professionals, this forum is a platform that provides cross-disciplinary opinions exchanges. 15th UTBEF invites 18 experts from three academic areas: clinicians, data scientists, and production chain representatives to participate in the “AI x Healthcare” topic and share perspectives in translational medicine, precision medicine, and smart hospitals. Also, the event sets 14 booths for Taiwan’s new startup teams to exhibit their technology. The speakers include Taiwanese physicians, Harvard Medical School, Indiana University professors, and data scientists. They discuss using machine learning (ML) to enhance the success rate of new drug development and the accuracy of personalized medical treatment.

The conference is co-sponsored by worldwide institutions such as Taiwan Trade Center San Francisco (TAITRA), Overseas Community Affairs Council, Republic of China (Taiwan), Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI International), Cathay Bank, NVIDIA, KARIUS, and BOARDSIM, etc. ACE Biotek joined the 2022 TAITA Silicon Valley Annual Conference and the Taiwan National Day Banquet activity to support epidemic prevention. Based on positive customer feedback, TAITA invites ACE Biotek to participate in the forum to demonstrate the AI ​​epidemic prevention technology. Meanwhile, it provides the opportunity for customer experiences.

ACE Biotek’s AI research team has provided customized technology for users, including antiCOVID-19 products and digital hospital solutions. With “contactless, accurate, and fast” competitive advantages, Wallie Screen is an all-in-one system with temperature screening, mask screening, and FaceMe® facial recognition. The system is commonly used by large semiconductor industries, technology companies, and factories, especially for access control. The O-Ring dispenser uses the patented infrared sensor. It’s low power consumption and anti-dumping.

In addition, ACE Biotek uses AI technology in histopathology imagery analysis, medicine discrimination, item tracking, and material testing in the semiconductor industry. It also conducts academia-industry research with many institutions. Wayne Kang, ACE Biotek US Office Representative, indicates that, in response to the market trend of telemedicine, we develop the Uniiform digital handwriting system and the Einthoven ECG patch. The products digitize medical records, especially for anesthesiology, ophthalmology, dentistry, etc. ACE Biotek’s AI technology can enhance Taiwan’s technology awareness and boost industry cooperation.
