Rapid technological innovation has paved
the way for better healthcare and medical solutions. Older people can move
around with ease thanks to e-motors and scooters, people monitor their physical activity with handy trackers, and
surgeons are able to perform more efficient and safer operations with smart
surgical solutions.
These are just some of the breakthroughs of Taiwan SmartHealthcare products. Bearing the Taiwan Seal of Excellence—a mark accorded only
to the highest quality brands— these revolutionary products have guided people
toward healthier and safer lives.
Utilizing 3D and
Digital Imaging for Safer Surgeries
In minimally invasive surgery, fewer and smaller incisions
are made on the body to lessen post-operative pain, blood loss, and scarring. Thin
needles and an endoscope, a tube-shaped instrument with a camera and light, are
used to guide the operation. The MonoStereo3D System converts the
2D video captured by the endoscope into a 3D display
on a monitor. Through these images, doctors can get accurate depth feedback in
real-time, ensuring surgical precision and faster procedures.
Smart Surgical
Glasses from Taiwan Main Orthopedics Co. Ltd. allow
doctors to plan more accurately prior to surgery. As the surgeon looks at the
operative site, 3D images of the patient’s bones and tissues appear on the
screen, allowing them to save real-time photos. This can reduce complexity and
operation time by up to 30%. An additional benefit to medical staff is less
exposure to radiation from X-rays.
With conditions like diabetes, ongoing monitoring of blood
sugar is a necessity. Bionime’s BloodGlucose Monitoring Systems allow diabetics to easily monitor their blood
sugar. The GM260 model delivers accurate results in just five seconds, using
only a tiny blood sample placed on a test strip. The GM700S and GM700SB work
with multiple types of blood samples, and the latter facilitate the transfer
immediate transfer of results to smartphone via Bluetooth. The GM720 comes in
an all-in-one fashionable case that holds additional strips and lancets.
Movement Anytime,
Anywhere
Mobility becomes an issue for many people as they age. The
ergonomic design and lightweight frame of HeartwayPortable Scooters provide for travelling with comfort and ease. Weighing
less than 27 kg, the foldable S19
Scooter Brio can be activated by one hand in seconds and may be stored
inside a car trunk with no dismantling required. Powered by a lithium battery,
it can travel up to 24km on full charge. The S21 EASY MOVE folds up electronically with a single push of a
button, and can go up to 7 miles on a full battery. Both scooters support
average weight builds and have easy-to-use controls.
