The study Taiwan's Smart Healthcare Value Chain: AI Innovation from R&D to Industry Deployment, published in the journal Healthcare, examines how Taiwan has built a coordinated, end-to-end smart healthcare ecosystem that links public policy, national health data, academic research, clinical practice, and industrial deployment.
While rooted in Taiwan's local context, the study presents a transferable model for countries seeking to scale AI-driven healthcare in a sustainable and regulated way.
A defining feature of Taiwan's model is its ability to move AI from research environments into routine clinical use.
Academic institutions in Taiwan serve not only as research centers but also as testing grounds for clinical AI applications.
Hospitals play a dual role. They act as innovation partners during development and as early adopters once tools meet regulatory standards. This creates a feedback loop in which clinical performance informs further refinement, rather than ending at regulatory approval.
The study also examines how Taiwan's smart healthcare ecosystem supports industrial growth.
