From surgical suites to outpatient clinics, AI is transforming healthcare — and nowhere is this more evident than in Taiwan, where top-tier medical centers are collaborating with NVIDIA and leading system integrators to revolutionize patient care. At COMPUTEX in Taipei, the spotlight was on how agentic AI, robotics, and digital twin technologies are being deployed across Taiwan’s healthcare ecosystem to solve some of the industry’s most pressing challenges.
Taiwan’s healthcare system is known for its quality and accessibility, but like many advanced economies, it’s grappling with significant pressures: an aging population, rising treatment costs, hospital overcrowding, and a growing shortage of medical professionals. Enter AI and robotics.
With support from NVIDIA’s ecosystem of system-builder partners—including Advantech, Onyx, Foxconn, and YUAN—Taiwan’s top medical centers are integrating physical and digital innovations to enhance diagnostic accuracy, streamline hospital workflows, and ultimately, save lives.
At the heart of these breakthroughs are powerful NVIDIA platforms designed specifically for the healthcare edge:
-
NVIDIA Holoscan – A real-time sensor processing platform tailored for AI-driven medical applications.
-
NVIDIA IGX – Enterprise-grade edge AI built for the rigorous demands of clinical environments.
-
NVIDIA Jetson – Compact yet powerful embedded AI computing for robotics and edge devices.
-
NVIDIA Omniverse with OpenUSD – A platform for building digital twins and simulating real-world hospital environments.
These tools enable hospitals to move from experimental AI pilots to large-scale, real-time clinical deployment.
Case Study: Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (CGMH) Pioneers AI in Colonoscopy
With over 8.2 million outpatient visits and 2.4 million hospitalizations annually, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (CGMH) is one of the busiest healthcare providers in Taiwan. Recognizing the critical role of early cancer detection, CGMH is using NVIDIA-powered AI to supercharge its gastrointestinal diagnostics.
In collaboration with Advantech, CGMH has developed a next-generation AI colonoscopy workflow system using NVIDIA Holoscan and IGX platforms. This system processes real-time colonoscopy video streams, using deep learning models trained on thousands of cases to identify and classify colonic polyps during the examination itself.
The benefits are profound:
-
Faster, more accurate diagnostics
-
Reduced cognitive load on doctors
-
Shorter exam times and improved throughput
By embedding this AI system directly into consultation rooms, CGMH is not only increasing diagnostic precision but also creating a rich dataset to continuously train and refine its models.
Beyond Imaging: Smart Hospitals Go Fully Agentic
While AI-powered imaging is a significant leap forward, the vision of a fully “agentic” hospital goes further. Imagine humanoid robots assisting nurses with routine tasks like delivering medication or transporting supplies. Think of digital twins simulating entire hospital workflows to identify bottlenecks before they impact patients.
These are not futuristic fantasies—they are being actively developed using NVIDIA Omniverse and Jetson platforms. By modeling virtual replicas of hospital environments, Taiwan’s healthcare innovators can prototype, test, and deploy solutions faster and more safely than ever before.
The partnerships forming between Taiwan’s elite hospitals and leading tech manufacturers like Foxconn and Onyx illustrate the potential of a deeply integrated approach to AI in medicine. With NVIDIA providing the hardware and software backbone, these collaborations are not just addressing Taiwan’s healthcare challenges—they are creating scalable models for global adoption.
As countries worldwide face similar pressures, from aging populations to overburdened hospitals, Taiwan’s smart hospital initiatives could become a global template for AI-enabled care.
Healthcare is on the cusp of a technological renaissance. Thanks to the fusion of AI, robotics, and edge computing, tomorrow’s hospitals will not only be smarter—they’ll be faster, safer, and more human-centered.
By leveraging the power of NVIDIA’s ecosystem, Taiwan’s medical leaders are proving that with the right tools, innovation doesn’t just treat—it transforms.
