Taiwan’s Healthcare Industry – Current State and Development Potential
Sustained Growth of Taiwan’s US$3 Billion Medical Equipment Industry
IEK Consulting estimates that in 2017 the output value for Taiwanese medical equipment was about US$3.4 billion and will have reached US$3.8 billion by 2019. The aging of society has resulted in an increased demand for assistive devices and bone implants, which, along with increased orders for blood sugar meters, test strips, and contact lenses, will be major drivers of output value growth. Taiwan has three opportunities for developing smart healthcare:
  • A complete and comprehensive electronic industry supply chain and medical system.
  • National Health Insurance data accumulated over 24 years can be applied in AI medicine development.
  • Proprietors and hospitals can collaborate to export solutions overseas.
State of Healthcare Industry Exports in Taiwan as of 2018
“Taiwan is extremely well suited for digital healthcare. Its medical environment has a high cost-to-performance ratio. Such areas as digitization and automation rely greatly on machinery integration and automated production, which dovetail with Taiwan’s IT and semi-conductors industries.”
- Michel Chu, General Partner, Acorn Campus Taiwan
“Biomedical Industry Innovation and Promotion Program” Accelerates Biomedical Development
Global Healthcare Industry Trends
Since artificial intelligence became a hot topic around 2017, cognitive technology and IoT applications have become a key focus of the global biomedical industry and the investment community. Due to population aging in recent years, demand for medical treatment is on the rise, and new technologies and products have ushered in an era of growth in the global pharmaceutical and medical equipment markets. (In 2017 the total value of the medical equipment market was US$402.8 billion, and it is expected to increase to US$521.9 billion by 2022.)

“Paonan” PK HTO Correction System is an external fixator for treating medial knee osteoarthritis through self-healing to delay joint replacement and has been approved by FDA and TFDA. The system provides special designed instrument to ensure the safety and precision of surgical procedure. The advantages of this system are: 1. Low profile anatomical shape design is more convenient for patient’s daily life activities; 2. Minimally invasive surgery offers smaller incisions and patient has less hospital stay; 3. Application of distraction osteogenesis theory and wolff’s law in product design to achieve shorter bone healing time and earlier full weight bearing after surgery. 4. Correction is more precise through phased external adjustment postoperatively; 5. Pins can be removed by phase to provide bone stimulation; 6. Pin is easy to be removed while pin site infection is occurred; 7. Secondary surgery for removal of implant is unnecessary and easy to conversion from HTO to TKA.
AmCAD-UO is an innovative solution to assist physicians evaluating the risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) syndrome. The solution consists of a positioning system and a computer-assisted detection (CAD) software device. The positioning system helps accurately locate the ultrasound probe to scan and acquire multiple-angle sonographic images of the upper airway. The computer-assisted detection software device is to automatically detect the airspace of the pharyngeal airway. The dynamic changes of the airspace are then computed to evaluate the risk of OSA. The evaluation process is performed on awake patients and takes no more than 10 minutes to get the results. The entire process is objective, accurate, cost-effective and safe and is expected to transform the clinical practice of OSA diagnosis.

The accompanying software allows quick review and interpretation with a detailed ECG report. *Small as pocket size makes it perfect for use in doctors' visit, clinics and mobile healthcare service *The report is printed on general A4 paper instead of additionally purchasing the thermal papers. *ECG report is saved in digital file, facilitating e-mail communication and integration to hospital information system. *The software manages real-time ECG waveform, patient profile and QRS analysis, for doctors' diagnosis reference. *Advanced defibrillator protection and pace-maker detection feature a reliable use for emergency application.
We believe that successful medical material innovation comes from the clinical field, so we collects product experience questionnaire feedback through in-depth interaction with physicians in product clinical trials and is committed to product improvement to meet user needs and develop product uniqueness and competitiveness. The core of MonoStereo is to convert 2D endoscope image into 3D image, which is compatible with 2D endoscope systems on the market to reduce the cost of hardware upgrade.. The MonoStereo includes adjustment settings for stereoscopic parameters. The adjustment of the stereo parameters is divided into five stages for allowing the surgeons to perform the surgery in the most comfortable state. IRCAD France research team led by Professor Marescaux had collected 60 surgeons using MonoStereo and existing 2D endoscopy systems for comparison and found MonoStereo significantly helps surgeons save 20% to 30% of the time in specific minimally invasive surgical procedures.

It is particularly easy to overlook appliances that emit heat have near-infrared light and sunlight has more than 50% of near-infrared light. Near-infrared rays pass through the crystal through the macula to the optic nerve, causing optic nerve damage and early-onset cataract. As the eyes do not feel the damage of the heat, prolonged exposure can burn the cornea or retina and Blue light in digital product is more likely to cause macular degeneration in the retina.21Ray can effectively block off harmful near infrared red light and blue light from penetrating the eyes and reduce the damages. 21Ray uses aspherical lens to effectively block UV light and filter out harmful blue light while retaining beneficial blue light. SGS certified a blocking rate of more than 40% in the near infrared, more than 50% in the blue light, and more than 90% in the ultraviolet light, which reduces eye damage.
