Taipei Veterans General Hospital recently hosted the "Taiwan-Singapore Health and Longevity Summit." During his speech, Dr. Liang-kung Chen highlighted the success of the "Guandu model" experience in the community, which attracted the attention of the Taipei City Health Bureau. They hope to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to provide comprehensive digital services to Taipei residents, including personalized health risk analysis and solutions. Personalized health risk analysis is derived from data such as health check-ups, public health, behavior, and surveys. In the future, more data will be utilized to develop various algorithms that, when professionally interpreted, will provide risk analysis tailored to individual needs. This increasingly precise analysis will drive a "data-driven" strategy for precision health and longevity.
"In the future, health education information must make people feel the help of AI, no longer canned messages, but tailored to individual needs," said Dr. Liang-kung Chen. Drawing from the experience of the "Guandu model" and with the assistance of digital technology, they aim to improve more health indicators among citizens. Therefore, personalized solutions may utilize big data analysis to form personalized health education. Initially, this will establish a platform targeting Taipei residents aged 65 and above, with the hope that eventually, everyone will have their own personalized health guide.
The "Guandu model" initiative, implemented in the Guandu community with a population of approximately 55,000 people, has initiated changes in the community atmosphere and elevated the role of community hospitals. With the support of Director Chen Wei-ming, the Taipei Veterans General Hospital system will gradually expand to branches in Hsinchu, Taoyuan, Yilan, Hualien, Taitung, etc., making all branches of the hospital local "hub hospitals." During today's meeting, John Wong, former Vice President of the National University of Singapore, also pointed out that Singapore, Taiwan, and Japan are important opinion leaders in East Asia and should cooperate more closely.
John Wong said, "We may find it difficult to have direct strategies for climate change, but aging populations are something that every country must face and should be viewed as an opportunity to change our future." Singapore hopes to deepen cooperation with Taiwan, moving from the "Guandu model" to "Queenstown" in Singapore, Japan's "Kashiwa City Project," and Nagoya's healthy and long-lived community. The application of digital technology in Taiwan is more advanced than in Japan and Singapore. The collaborative achievements of Guandu Hospital and technology companies are impressive and offer ample opportunities for further cooperation.
