Taiwan is known worldwide for its innovative product solutions in the field of medical technology and e-health. At the MEDICA trade fair, which took place in mid-November in Düsseldorf, 18 Taiwanese companies were also represented in the Taiwan Excellence Pavilion with innovative healthcare solutions in the fields of telemedicine, diagnostics, surgery, dentistry and therapy.
Taiwan’s non-profit organization, TAITRA, which is also the country’s economic development network, annually honors particularly inventive product solutions with the so-called Taiwan Excellence Award. Four companies with special innovations in the field of medical technology and e-health received special recognition
1. The company „Taiwan Main Orthopaedic Biontechnology Co.“ is a leader in the field of orthopedic surgery and has developed special CE-marked glasses for surgeons, with which the field of vision in the operating room reaches 100 percent. The „augmented reality glasses“ are a world first because doctors can focus only on the patient and are not distracted. In the run-up to the operation, software records the exact planning of the surgical procedure in real time.
2. „AVer Information Europe B.V.“ showed at the fair how the live transmission of an operation could be streamed. Special video and audio signals make fast transmission possible; resolution and display of the smallest details is possible with the help of excellent zooming.
3. „EPED Inc.“ has produced two innovative products. RETINA can be used in minimally invasive procedures in neurosurgery, plastic surgery, and facial, maxillofacial and oral surgery. With RETINA as a stereotactic navigation system, fewer errors and injuries occur, thus greater precision is achieved. The same is true for „ERPROB Robotic Arm + Al“, an instrument for more precise brain surgery, performed in a minimally invasive way.
4. „AmCad BioMed Corporation“ from Taiwan is a leader in sleep apnea detection in awake patients in just ten minutes. Using lasers and an automated ultrasound scanner, 3D reconstructions of the upper airway are possible and the detection of gaps between normal breathing disturbed.
