Details
The 'Taiwan AI Impact Research Center' initiative, led by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, established demonstration sites at several major medical centers to promote the practical application and integration of AI technology into national health insurance coverage. CCMMUH serves as the sole center in the southern region, taking on the role of a hub for smart healthcare development. The facility involves diverse experts—including those from economics and public health—to conduct cost-effectiveness analyses of AI tools. Technically, it utilizes the Smart on FHIR standard to ensure data interoperability and has established a secure, privacy-protected validation environment. A key achievement highlighted is research that estimates body composition from breast cancer images, subsequently adjusting chemotherapy dosages based on these findings. This effort goes beyond mere AI application; it aims to achieve policy goals—connecting 'empirical evidence to reimbursement'—to optimize medical resources across the southern region. Furthermore, international insights were gained through lectures from the University of Chicago Medicine, covering topics like AI governance and regulation.
