To promote collaboration in the integration of smart healthcare information systems, AI technology, and clinical applications, ACE Biotek and Taichung Armed Forces General Hospital signed a MOU on December 7, 2023, followed by an on-site visit. The event was led by Director Chen Ying-Kai, with Vice Director Jane-Dar Lee and other chief physicians present for the exchange.

The collaboration between the two parties originated from an earlier healthcare system alliance event this year—the alliance aimed to facilitate cooperation between industry, academia, research, and the medical field. Following a visit and experiential activities led by the Department of Internal Medicine and the Research Department of Taichung Armed Forces General Hospital, both parties engaged in in-depth discussions on smart healthcare. Subsequently, they formalized their collaboration by signing the MOU and outlining plans for future cooperation.

As part of the MOU and visit, ACE Biotek arranged a special presentation showcasing smart healthcare products, including the UniiForm Digital Handwriting System, InfinityAI & Einthoven ECG patch, applications of smart upload systems (ophthalmology, anesthesia, physiological monitors), sharing on trauma care and military medical practices, and Terahertz (THz) detection technology.

Director Chen Ying-Kai of Taichung Armed Forces General Hospital emphasized, “At the current stage, our hospital envisions achieving the level of a medical center and is dedicated to developing distinctive medical services, implementing holistic care, and initiating smart healthcare for precise quality care. The hospital is currently constructing a new medical building, scheduled to be completed in the year of 2025, to safeguard the health of the military and civilians in central Taiwan. ACE Biotek has demonstrated outstanding effectiveness in AI smart healthcare integration solutions. Through this collaboration, we hope to leverage the clinical expertise of our hospital and the research and development capabilities of ACE Biotek to jointly build a smart hospital and personalized healthcare, striving to enhance patient safety and the efficiency of healthcare professionals.”
