173、ent,surgical treatment,health management and other aspects,and promotes the modernization of Singapores overall medical system.Fig 14.Recommendations and seminar conclusion by Singapore.3.4 Chinese Taipei The characteristic of Chinese Taipeis smart medical industry lies in cross-domain cooperation b
174、etween clinical needs and technology R&D manufacturers,integrating professional knowledge in the fields of medicine,information and communication technology,and biotechnology to improve medical services and improve patients quality of life.The maturity of smart medical technology will 29 provide a r
175、eference model for the Asia-Pacific region,and will also help promote cross-border cooperation and promote the upgrading of the overall medical industry.The Ministry of Economic Affairs subsidizes legal persons and industry players to participate in the early development of key technologies and over
176、all solutions required for smart medical care to accelerate the formation and promotion of the smart medical industry chain.With the global COVID-19 epidemic and changes in AI technology,smart telemedicine is a key development area of global medical technology today.The development of smart telemedi
177、cine is crucial to human health and well-being,and Chinese Taipei is an international semiconductor supply chain as an important player,Chinese Taipei began to leverage technology in the 1990s to promote a series of changes such as medical digitization and medical integration,which helped Chinese Ta
178、ipei s medical care service model rank first in the world for eight consecutive years.Medical care and information communications are the two most competitive industries in Chinese Taipei.Integrating the technological advantages of these two fields to successfully promote the development of smart me
179、dical technology will significantly improve the quality of medical services and enhance the competitiveness of the international medical industry market through the output of smart medical technology.The development of smart medical technology can not only improve medical accuracy,but also use innov
180、ative applications such as telemedicine and data analysis to meet the medical needs of different regions.In addition,optimizing medical management processes through information and communication technology can reduce medical costs.The medical system in Chinese Taipei has gone through the process of
181、medical electronics,information system interoperability and intelligence,from the initial method of logging all information on paper to now developing a variety of smart medical solutions.Chinese Taipei has been able to develop various types of smart hospital solutions.Chinese Taipei offers differen
182、t smart hospital model solutions,such as:(1)regional hospitals connected through IoT hardware,providing primary care services;(2)regional hospitals built with AIoT technology,offering intermediate-level medical services;and finally,(3)AI-powered wall-less medical centers,which not only provide advan
183、ced medical care but also offer intelligent telemedicine to meet healthcare needs across different regions,working towards the goal of healthcare equity.Chinese Taipei have combined our strengths in industry and technology,including(1)a comprehensive network infrastructure and(2)digital technologies
184、 from the ICT and AI industries.Chinese Taipei internet 30 penetration rate has reached 84.3%,and the mobile broadband penetration rate is 81%.Chinese Taipei also have globally renowned ICT and AI industries,such as TSMC,UMC,Wistron,Quanta,and Powerchip,among others.By integrating these technologies
185、 with the healthcare system,we have developed a wide range of medical solutions.For example,Quantas AI telemedicine platform provides smart medical solutions for telemedicine consultation systems,Acer Healthcare offers a precision medical solution for diabetic retinopathy,and Wistrons healthcare pla
186、tform helps optimize hospital management efficiency.Chinese Taipei utilize these various solutions to address different healthcare needs.Chinese Taipei has utilized smart healthcare technologies to meet the diverse medical needs of different regions and the demands of precision medicine.These techno
187、logies have also been applied to hospital workforce management systems,enabling healthcare workers to have more flexible work schedules and better patient care management.For example,by implementing intelligent ICT systems,the time healthcare workers previously spent60-70 minutes dailyon verifying m
188、edication information from the pharmacy to the patients bedside has been significantly reduced to less than 20 minutes.This also improves the hospitals management of medication costs.Additionally,for tasks such as reviewing patient medical records and verifying physician orders,healthcare staff can
189、use digital information systems to reduce the daily average time spent from 40-50 minutes to under 20 minutes.In Chinese Taipei,we effectively enhance workforce management in healthcare through digital ICT technologies,allowing medical staff to cut down about 1.5 hours per day on clinical tasks and
190、shift changes,providing more time and focus on patient care.Through Infrastructure-as-a-Service,Platform-as-a-Service,and Software-as-a-Service,were not just crafting solutions;Chinese Taipei tailoring a healthcare revolution thats both efficient and accessible.These digital tools are our way of ens
191、uring that the value of healthcare doesnt just lie in the cost but in its reach and impact.With these services,were extending the healing hands of our medical community to the farthest corners of Chinese Taipei.In recent years,under the coordination of the Metal Industry Research and Development Cen
192、ter,it has consulted on different medical industries and clinical medical needs,provided medical equipment,information and communications and other technical connections,and led smart medical manufacturers in Chinese Taipei towards a more flexible digital medical service model.At the same time,the m
193、etal center assists Chinese Taipei medical materials and technology 31 manufacturers to enter the international CDMO supply chain,effectively establishing cooperation and business opportunities with international manufacturers,and expanding the international market.Fig 15.Recommendations and seminar
194、 conclusion by Chinese Taipei.The cooperation between medical equipment manufacturers or hospitals and metal industry research and development centers will provide complete medical solutions for auxiliary diagnosis for the current aging population or diseases.For example,the symptoms of esophageal c
195、ancer are not easy to detect in the early stage,and doctors need to spend a lot of time to diagnose the cancer.For the interpretation of lesions,through the integration of endoscopic equipment and AI software through digital medical technology,signs of disease can be identified during medical outpat
196、ient procedures,increasing the accuracy of medical diagnosis.Recently,digital medical AI calculations and data management have begun to be applied to hospital management,from bed management,patient medication to hospital cost reduction.In addition to improving the accuracy of medical treatment,digit
197、al medical technology can also further allow medical staff to have more time to care for patients.In addition,the Metal Industry Research and Development Center attempts to establish a complete industrial chain on the medical technology platform by integrating domestic industry and university academ
198、ic research,aiming to support the development of the digital medical industry.32 3.5 Thailand Thailand is gradually advancing the development of smart medical care.The government and private institutions are cooperating to introduce modern technology to improve the efficiency and service quality of
199、the medical system.Telemedicine is an important direction of smart healthcare in Thailand,especially for remote areas and areas where medical resources are difficult to access.Through the remote diagnosis and treatment platform,patients can conduct video consultations with doctors directly through m
200、obile phones or computers,and obtain medical advice and diagnosis,reducing the need for travel.This has been widely used during the COVID-19 epidemic and has promoted the rapid development of telemedicine infrastructure.In addition,Thai medical institutions have begun to use IoT devices to monitor p
201、atients health data in real time,such as heart rate,blood sugar,blood pressure,etc.These devices can sound alarms when data is abnormal,reminding medical staff or patients to take timely action,which is particularly helpful in the daily health management of patients with chronic diseases.Thailand is
202、 building and renovating several smart hospitals,which are equipped with modern medical equipment,intelligent ward management systems and self-service facilities.For example,patients can use self-service registration machines in smart hospitals to quickly complete registration and payment,greatly re
203、ducing queue waiting time.In addition,smart wards can automatically adjust indoor temperature and lighting through digital control systems,and even monitor patients sleep quality.The Thai government has launched a series of policies and initiatives to encourage the development of smart healthcare.Fo
204、r example,the Thailand 4.0 plan clearly points out the need to develop the digital economy,and smart healthcare,as an important part of it,receives strong support from the government,especially in technology research and development and infrastructure construction.Thailands smart medical care is con
205、stantly developing and maturing.Although there is still room for improvement compared with some advanced economies,with policy promotion and continuous technological upgrading,Thailands medical system is moving in a more digital and intelligent direction.33 Fig 16.Recommendations and seminar conclus
206、ion by Thailand 4.Results and analysis of pre-seminar survey To understand the current status of the application of information and communication technology in hospitals within the APEC region,we will conduct an online survey prior to the In-Person seminar.The survey questionnaire is divided into tw

223、ation of medical intelligence In the What are your views on the role the government should play in promoting smart healthcare section,the survey results show that APEC economies believe government support is very important in the process of digital healthcare transformation.About 42%think that stron
224、g support and resource allocation are necessary,while 44%believe that moderate and appropriate support is needed.Lastly,around 14%think there should be no government intervention in the development of smart healthcare.Finally,we summarize our suggestions for smart medical care.There are signs of pro
225、gress in smart medical development.However,more efforts are needed to advance digitization.It must be improved that the medical team believes in AI research developed in their own economy.We should change our mindset about digital transformation and AI technology,and promote absolutely to achieve a
226、digital level which reduces human power and cost as well.Laws and regulations are often outdated and need to be updated to support implementation of technologies.Ethical issues also should be carefully considered and addressed.Although the technology is highly benefit but due to high cost,access to
227、smart medical may limited to some area,some group of people.Since most projects in smart medical care are still in the infancy stage it is very costly to have these operate but if theres any way for it to become cheaper and more accessible to the public.Not now,because this issue is still in develop
228、ment.No specific information and no clear items have been smooth operated in current situation.The continuous improvement on medical care enhances the quality of the patients treatment and healthcare.To make smart medical care even better,there are several steps that can be made,like creating electr
229、onic health records(EHRs)that can easily be shared 42 between healthcare providers;this would allow seamless access to a patients medical records wherever they go.Using AI to help diagnose illnesses quickly and accurately,and adopting robotic-assisted surgery to improve precision and recovery times.
230、We should also develop apps that help patients stay engaged with their health,expand remote patient monitoring to manage chronic conditions and use blockchain to keep patient data secure.By also integrating genomic information,we can offer more personalized treatments,and using virtual and augmented
231、 reality can enhance medical training and procedures.Investing in smart hospital infrastructure with IoT devices can optimize hospital operations,and analyzing big data can help us understand health trends and improve public health strategies.These steps will make healthcare more efficient,effective
232、,and patient-centered.Smart medical care should considering and applying Privacy Protection for Medical Data sharing.Privacy protection must be highest consideration in smart medical care to protect patients data.APEC economies should collaborate by sharing the best practices,experiences and knowled
