The 22nd National Innovation Awards Ceremony and Medical Innovation Demo Day took place on December 17 at the 3rd Floor Platinum Hall of the Grand Hi-Lai Hotel in Taipei. Tri-Service General Hospital was honored with 5 National Innovation Awards and 3 National Innovation Excellence Awards. The hospital's delegation, led by Deputy Director Wu, Chia-Chao and a cross-disciplinary team, attended the event, showcasing the military medical system's strength in AI-driven medical technology research and application.
This year, the hospital's awards covered AI diagnostic imaging, surgical assistance, bone density screening, metallic contrast gauze, and educational systems, demonstrating the power of translational smart healthcare. Dr. Wang Yu-Chi's team from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (currently Director of the Medical Management Division at the Military Medical Bureau) developed the "FemdaLi™ System," utilizing endoscopic imaging technology in image-guided surgery. The system immediately provides annotated images to assist surgeons in observing or dissecting during surgery, significantly preventing misjudgments of organs and providing protective measures for vital structures such as blood vessels and ureters.
Dr. Fang Wen-Hui's PASTER small-sample AI training platform from the Digital Medical Center can predict effectively using only a small number of chest X-ray samples, achieving excellent recognition performance (AUC over 0.9). The platform has already been verified in several medical centers. Dr. Lin Kun-Yi from the Department of Orthopedics and Net-Technology developed a bone density screening system using AI in hand X-rays, improving sensitivity to over 90%, solving clinical screening bottlenecks, and aiding in geriatric preventive medicine.
Additionally, Dr. Hsu Sheng-De from the Department of Trauma Medicine introduced the Metal-Visible Gauze technology, which replaces barium sulfate with innovative metal composite yarn, enhancing foreign object tracking during surgery and improving battlefield emergency effectiveness. The technology has already been patented, with advantages in domestic production. Dr. Hsieh Shan-Shan's team from the Department of Clinical Pathology developed a sensor-based simulated blood draw arm teaching system, integrating sensing devices and interactive visual interfaces to realistically replicate the blood draw process, providing real-time feedback on needle insertion angles, procedural accuracy, and error analysis. This system strengthens skills and learning guidance and has also obtained a new patent.
This recognition from the National Innovation Awards highlights Tri-Service General Hospital's outstanding innovative capabilities in smart healthcare and exemplifies the successful outcomes of cross-institutional and interdisciplinary collaboration. Moving forward, the hospital will continue to drive the commercialization of technologies and clinical implementation, providing more precise and safer healthcare services for military personnel and the general public.
