Introduction

Professor Jack Li has been a pioneer of Medical Informatics research and a board-certified dermatologist in Taiwan. He is the founder of the Graduate Institute of Medical Informatics in Taipei Medical University. Due to his achievement in establishing medical information exchange mechanisms among hospitals and his dedication to information technology applications in patient safety and care.He was awarded as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the Year (TOYP) in 2001. and devoted himself to evolving the next generation of Al in patient safety and prevention ("Earlier Medicine"). He has been the Principle Investigators of many national projects in Electronic Health Record, Patient Safety Informatics and Medical e-learning.He has also been deeply involved in international cooperation for biomedical informatics development in Asia, America, Europe, and Africa.

The International Center for Health Information Technology (ICHIT) is a renowned research center that focuses on the utilization of ICT in healthcare. Our main focus is on 4P medicine, which includes Prediction, Prevention, Participation, and Personalization. We work closely with our teaching hospitals and practice translational medicine utilizing the best knowledge available. Our team comprises multidisciplinary experts from various fields, including Biomedical Informatics, Data Mining, Natural Language Processing, Social Networking, Consultants from Neurology, Cardiology, Nephrology, and Dermatology, Physicians, Nurses, and Medical Technologists. Our primary focus is on translational research in Health Information Technology (HIT).

In this context, we can offer you design as well as functional analysis of the software, business, and processes analytics, and integration of heterogeneous e-Health and m-Health systems through a common open platform.

  • Health IoT The Internet of Things is a concept in which more devices (sensors/things) will be communicating across the Internet than human users. Explore technologies that collect both clinical and lifestyle data to track compliance with care plans, assess the role of wearable technology in improving outcomes for chronic and acute conditions for patients.
  • Telemedicine & mHealth The mHealth + Telehealth technologies brings together hospitals, policy makers, and innovators to discuss the future of connected health. It bridge the gap between rural health seekers with urban health providers.
  • Big Data Analytis & Visualization Data visualization is the presentation of data in a pictorial or graphical format. Converting millions of data points into one graph or map for easy understanding. The potential healthcare benefits are immense, and data governance best practices can be used to help ensure a safer and quality care.
  • e-Learning & Medical Education Distance learning refers to use of technologies based on health care delivered on distance and covers areas such as e-health, telematics, telemedicine, tele-education, etc. Explore the various technologies and communication systems for the need of e-health, telemedicine, e-Learning or tele-education.
