Far Eastern Memorial Hospital stands out at the National Innovation Award

        On December 27, 2023, the National Biotechnology and Medical Industry Strategy Promotion Association, the legal entity of the association, held the 20th National Innovation Award Ceremony. Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, following its four national innovation awards in 2022, once again shone brightly in 2023, winning four "Academic Research Innovation Awards" and two "Innovation and Innovation Excellence Awards" in fields spanning artificial intelligence, precision detection, and innovative surgical technology, Showcasing outstanding strength in academic research and clinical innovation development, and benefiting patients with diverse treatment options and smooth clinical treatment processes.

        Dr. Chiu, Dean Kuanming, emphasized that Far Eastern Memorial Hospital is committed to becoming the preferred medical institution for the public, and the innovative spirit is the driving force for the hospital to improve medical quality. We hope to provide patients with better quality services through a new innovative model combining medical, biomedical technology, and technology.

        Introducing AI to lead the health revolution

        The Far Eastern Memorial Hospital team makes good use of AI Big Data, machine deep learning and prediction capabilities to improve the manual judgment of burn area and depth. At the same time, it optimizes image report interpretation and lesion selection, provides the best medical decision-making, and effectively shortens interpretation time. This time, it has won three important awards related to artificial intelligence themes, Including: "Myocardial perfusion scanning non norm one-stop coronary artery stenosis prediction system", "Artificial intelligence burn diagnosis platform and software", and "Meningioma and acoustic neuroma artificial intelligence assisted automatic selection system".

        Innovative biomarkers create new tools for early diagnosis of dementia

        Far Eastern Memorial Hospital uses amyloid like T cell responses as innovative biomarkers for cognitive impairment, which can accurately identify dementia patients who are still in mild cognitive impairment. It has higher discrimination than the p-Tau181 approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has been recognized by the Academic Innovation Award.

        Advanced UBE technology opens up a new era of spinal surgery

        The "Application and Development of Innovative Dual Channel Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Surgery (UBE) in Spinal Surgery" and the "Quick Navigation and Intelligent Nail Implantation System for Spinal Surgery in Composite Operating Room", which have won the New Innovation and Excellence Award, have propelled spinal surgery to a new era. Since 2018, UBE has performed over 1000 minimally invasive surgeries on the spine, with multiple studies published in academic journals. The surrounding injection devices and bone chisels have also obtained technology transfer authorization, attracting neurosurgeons and orthopedic physicians from both domestic and foreign countries to study at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital; We also developed a composite surgical navigation system with a biotech company and obtained a patent.

        Vice Dean Zhang Zhihong pointed out that Far Eastern Memorial Hospital actively pursues innovation, invests a large amount of resources in innovative research and development every year, and encourages cross disciplinary, cross team, and cross-border cooperation. This not only stimulates forward-looking results, but also continues to promote medical development.
