As the only invited healthcare institution from Taiwan, CMUH was represented by Dr. Wei-Cheng Chen, Chief Secretary of the Superintendent Office, who shared CMUH’s Smart ICU Command Center and AIoT-enabled smart intensive care achievements.

HealthTechX Asia 2026 was held in Singapore from May 5–6, bringing together representatives from government agencies, national digital health organizations, and leading medical centers across more than 10 countries, including Singapore, Australia, South Korea, Spain, India, and Malaysia.

Developed through cross-specialty, multidisciplinary collaboration between clinical and digital innovation teams, CMUH’s smart critical care model has expanded from the respiratory ICU to cardiovascular, surgical, and neurosurgical ICUs, building a scalable framework for smart critical care.

The conference featured senior leaders from organizations such as the Singapore Ministry of Health, the Australian Digital Health Agency, and the Health Sciences Authority of Singapore, alongside C-level executives and digital health leaders from major academic medical centers including the National University Health System and Samsung Medical Center. Discussions focused on artificial intelligence, digital governance, healthcare resilience, aging care, and cross-system integration.

Beyond technology showcases, the conference emphasized healthcare decision-making, workflow redesign, and the development of resilient smart healthcare ecosystems, highlighting how digital transformation must ultimately improve patient care and operational sustainability.

The Opening Keynote Panel brought together leaders from major medical centers, national digital health platforms, healthcare innovation, and clinical care to discuss how Agentic AI can be safely integrated into healthcare systems while advancing human-AI collaboration, clinical workflow integration, and smart healthcare development.

China Medical University Hospital (CMUH) was the only invited healthcare institution from Taiwan. Dr. Wayne Wei-Cheng Chen, Chief Secretary of the Superintendent Office, presented CMUH’s Smart ICU Command Center initiative, demonstrating how workflow redesign, AIoT integration, multidisciplinary collaboration, and organizational culture transformation have contributed to improved clinical decision-making, workforce efficiency, and patient care quality.

The initiative was jointly developed by multidisciplinary clinical teams, including pulmonary and critical care teams, nursing, pharmacy, laboratory medicine, infection control, and nutrition services, together with the Digital Transformation Technology Office, AI and Robotics Center, Information Office, and Biomedical Engineering Office. Starting from the respiratory intensive care unit, the model has gradually expanded to cardiovascular, surgical, and neurosurgical ICUs with customized adaptations based on different clinical scenarios, establishing a scalable smart critical care model and demonstrating Taiwan’s growing role in international smart healthcare transformation.
