【軍傳媒／國內軍事新聞】第九屆台灣醫療科技展於12月4-7日在南港展覽館一館舉行，此次、展覽主題包括六大類醫療機器人、AI醫療科技、再生醫療、精準檢測、臨床專科應用等，開幕當天包括總統賴清德，立法院長韓國瑜、國防部長顧立雄都到場。
韓國瑜院長致詞時首先表示，根據國際商業雜誌《CEOWORLD》近期針對全球110個國家與地區的醫療制度進行排名，台灣名列世界第一，獲評為「全世界醫療保健系統最健全的國家」。「科技」與「醫療」雙引擎，使本展覽早在2017年創辦以來，不僅是全球首創以醫院為核心的國際展會，也無愧為亞太地區最具代表性的醫療大展。
之後賴清德總統接著致詞表示，這幾年來臺灣醫療科技產業已經打下良好基礎，臺灣不僅醫療水準高，生物科技產業也具有相當規模，更難得的是具備強大的半導體、人工智慧、物聯網、雲端運算及5G通訊等科技產業，強強聯手，打下臺灣持續發展醫療科技產業的基礎。這幾年來臺灣醫療服務積極走向國際，包括以「醫療新南向」，在印度、印尼、越南、汶萊、菲律賓、泰國、馬來西亞、緬甸等國家，建立醫療合作與人才培訓機制，今年就有200位東南亞國家醫院的院長來台看展。
國防部軍醫局下轄的國軍醫療體系也都有參展，三軍總醫院個分院都個別展示出其在各個醫學領域裡專業的發展與創新科技，區分成軍陣醫學、高端技術、創新科技、AI研發等區塊。
軍陣醫學區塊中，又展示出幾個不同目前在研發的項目，例如電子傷票系統，目前的傷票制度是使用手寫分類後送，電子傷票主要是傷兵在接受初步治療後，將相關資訊輸入電子傷票後佩戴在身上，藉由NFC技術課近距離傳輸資料，後送後救護人員能快速更新並讀取傷情紀錄。
電子傷票主要是在解決傳統紙張商票在潮濕、髒污環境下破損污染無法辨識，或甚至遺失而影響醫療處置連貫性，藉由電子傷票的數位化管理，傷情資料可同步至後台節點，後送不管到哪都能存取。
另外三總岡山分院的飛行員認知作業模組，則是利用開發在平板上的軟體，在飛行學官地面模擬測試，藉以初期評估飛行學官的認知功能，評估飛行員所注重的視覺訊息處理速度、特徵組合記憶容量、工作記憶負荷量，以及遇到突發狀況或多工作業時，飛行員所需的工作記憶干擾抑制能力、心像操控能力等。
舉例來說，藉由平板上出現不同的敵我戰機圖案，依照要求快速識別、同時記憶出現的順序、方向等，看似簡單小遊戲，實際測試到後段速度快時就是一團亂整個打結，由此可知飛行員除了後天的培養，天賦合適度也是正要關鍵，這也是為什麼飛行員難訓練，因此國軍更應該重視越來越高的退伍率。
另外三總基隆分院則是介紹其高壓氧治療艙，北部地區目前就三總基隆級內湖有，除了能協助治療海軍潛水人員減壓症之外，對於壞死組織感染、創傷後壓力症候群、燒傷、燙傷、創傷輔助治療、急性創傷性腦損傷等都有幫助，藉由高壓氧治療能加速傷口癒合，減少併發症，並改善患者的整體預後，幫助每一患者在戰傷的挑戰。
The 9th Taiwan Healthcare Expo was held from December 4–7, 2025, at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 1. This year’s exhibition featured six major themes, including medical robotics, AI healthcare technologies, regenerative medicine, precision diagnostics, and clinical specialty applications. The opening ceremony was attended by President Lai Ching-te, Legislative Yuan Speaker Han Kuo-yu, and Minister of National Defense Chiu Kuo-cheng.
In his remarks, Speaker Han first noted that according to a recent ranking by the international business magazine CEOWORLD, which evaluated the healthcare systems of 110 countries and regions, Taiwan was ranked number one in the world and recognized as having “the most well-rounded healthcare system globally.” With “technology” and “medicine” as dual engines, the Taiwan Healthcare Expo has, since its founding in 2017, not only become the world’s first international exhibition centered around hospitals but also the most representative medical expo in the Asia-Pacific region.
President Lai followed with a speech, stating that Taiwan’s medical technology industry has built a solid foundation in recent years. Taiwan not only boasts a high standard of medical care and a robust biotechnology sector but also benefits from its strong semiconductor, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, cloud computing, and 5G communications industries. These advantages combined create the momentum driving Taiwan’s ongoing development in medical technology. In recent years, Taiwan’s medical services have also actively expanded internationally through the “New Southbound Medical Initiative,” establishing medical cooperation and talent training mechanisms in India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brunei, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar, and other countries. This year alone, 200 hospital directors from Southeast Asia visited Taiwan to attend the expo.
The military medical system under the Ministry of National Defense’s Medical Affairs Bureau also participated in the exhibition. The Tri-Service General Hospital and its regional branches each showcased their professional advancements and innovations in various medical fields, organized into sections such as battlefield medicine, advanced technologies, innovative solutions, and AI development.
In the battlefield medicine section, several ongoing research projects were displayed. One of them was the electronic casualty tag system. The current casualty-tagging method relies on handwritten triage labels. The electronic casualty tag allows casualty information to be entered into a digital tag after initial treatment and then worn by the patient. Using NFC technology, medical personnel can quickly access or update the casualty’s record upon evacuation.
The electronic casualty tag addresses the limitations of traditional paper tags, which may be damaged, contaminated, or rendered unreadable in wet or harsh environments, sometimes even lost—disrupting continuity of medical care. With digitalized management, casualty information can be synchronized to backend nodes and accessed wherever the patient is transferred.
Another highlight was the cognitive task module for pilot trainees developed by the Tri-Service General Hospital Kaohsiung Branch. This tablet-based software is used in ground-based simulations to assess the cognitive abilities of pilot trainees. The evaluation focuses on visual information processing speed, feature-integration memory capacity, working memory load, as well as a pilot’s ability to inhibit interference, perform mental imagery operations, and handle unexpected or multitasking situations.
For example, trainees must identify various friendly or hostile aircraft icons on the tablet, remember the order and direction in which they appear, and respond quickly according to instructions. While it may look like a simple game, the task becomes extremely chaotic at high speed, revealing the cognitive demands required of pilots. This also illustrates why pilot training is so difficult: beyond acquired skill, innate aptitude is equally critical. With the rising attrition rate among pilots, this is an area the military must take seriously.
Meanwhile, the Tri-Service General Hospital Keelung Branch introduced its hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber. Currently, only the Keelung and Neihu branches in northern Taiwan are equipped with such facilities. Beyond treating decompression sickness in naval divers, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is also beneficial for necrotizing infections, PTSD, burn injuries, scalds, trauma recovery, and acute traumatic brain injury. By increasing oxygen concentration in tissues, this treatment accelerates wound healing, reduces complications, and improves overall prognosis for patients recovering from combat-related injuries.
