Taiwan has gradually entered an aging society. Health care and medical insurance have become topics of concern to many people. Various manufacturers have also begun to pay attention to the whirlwind brought about by this health business opportunity, trying to break into their respective industries and create a new pattern. . The Industrial Research Institute and the Institute of Science and Technology jointly held the "Innovative Technology Project Forum: Decrypting Future Health Business Opportunities" on November 19, inviting many industry professionals to share their thoughts on health business opportunities and future trends from their respective fields of expertise. The
forum opened with Lan Yifeng, digital content marketing director of Science and Technology News, as the introductor. He believed that in today's society, most people have the ability to eat and drink enough, and what they will pursue in the future is "well-being." "For example, clothes should not only be able to be worn, but also be worn smartly. The original minimum requirement for warmth and protection has shifted to requirements for product functionality.
Xue Wenzhen, a senior special assistant at ITRI, proposed the concept of C2B (Consumer to Business) participatory innovative technology experience platform. This concept originated from the "Decrypting Technology Treasures" exhibition held by ITRI for nearly a month in March 2015. In addition to understanding what ordinary people need for technology, the exhibition also allows visitors to personally come into contact with the latest technology through interactive displays. ITRI also collects and analyzes visitors’ feedback to understand the technological values and needs across generations. From consumers to manufacturers, reversing the past B2C innovation model.

Mastering the system platform network is the key to the layout of the health industry
From health equipment to medical services, platforms need to be linked together to become a huge health care system. Xu Binxiang, chairman of Gaide Technology, said that what they are doing now is to allow users to know various physical conditions through a watch, and accumulate the data to create a database similar to a health passbook, which can help Physicians can assess the overall condition and prescribe medication more accurately.
Chairman Xu Binxiang of Gaide Technology introduced on the stage.
Chairman Xu Binxiang believes that a person's health status and medical needs cannot be analyzed only from the data collected once or twice, but a long-term continuous data set. In addition, cross-border integration is also the key to integrating the past Integrate and effectively connect independently operated medical services. On the other hand, he also said that the diversion of medical resources is very important, so that resources can be decentralized, and then through the system platform, fragmented resources can be effectively turned into striped services, and then the concept of real-time business (on-demand) can be used to To cover more people.
He also revealed privately that MediaTek and National Taiwan University Hospital are collaborating to enter medical electronics technology and will launch an integrated watch in the future, which can measure heart rate, blood oxygen, blood pressure, etc. Wearable devices that only serve different purposes, one does everything.
Finally, he hopes that these services can improve users' lifestyles, achieve the best treatment results, manage their own health in a more effective way, and provide users with basis for their living habits through big data; in the industry It can combine all services to form a complete industrial chain and ecosystem.
Cross-border transformation, seizing robot business opportunities based on demand
The general public’s impression of Shin Kong Security is that it is a company that provides physical security and security system services. Now Shin Kong Security has also sensed business opportunities in the future health industry and has been actively Invest in the research and development of security robots so that the elderly can receive good care at home and contribute to an aging society. Zheng Zefang, associate director of
Shin Kong Security Technology Research Center, said that they have been investing in the research and development of security robots since 2004. The Shin Kong Security 6S robot developed this year even won the Top 100 Innovative Products Award at the 2014 Information Month, and is expected to be mass-produced and launched by the end of the year. He hopes to expand some functions on this robot in the future, such as carbon monoxide detectors and remote control of home appliances.
Zheng Zefang, associate director of Xinguang Security Technology Research Center, expressed their ideas on the stage.
Associate Director Zheng Zefang also gave the example of Japanese care robots. Japanese care robots are divided into wearable devices, such as artificial joints, and non-wearable devices, such as 3D imaging bed departure detection, and the recent launch of 1,000 units with instant sales. pepper robot. He said that technology always comes from human nature, and more importantly, the robot must be able to interact with the person being cared for and provide feedback, so that the user can experience the feeling of warmth, and then use the technology of the Internet of Things to build an innovative and integrated service platform.
Hand-eye coordination robot technology
The future development of robots will no longer just follow a command and an action, but will also have human-like visual and sensory coordination, and will make changes according to the actual situation. Manager Su Ruiyao from ITRI's Institute of Machinery and Systems introduced ITRI's patented hand-eye coordination robotic technology.
The hand-eye coordination robot developed by ITRI mainly hopes to achieve the same movements as humans. Therefore, the robot must have a brain-like controller inside and a servo motor to provide the robot with sufficient power; the outside must have vision. and tactile sensors, giving him the same sensory capabilities as humans. This robot has ITRI's core technology, the MIO robot controller, which not only makes it fast and stable, but also has human-like vision and can coordinate the power of the robot arm. Manager Su Ruiyao also mentioned the future challenge - how to make the equipment portable. He also pointed out that the future trend of robots is to be able to integrate with people and help humans complete more difficult tasks at different levels.
