Chi Mei Medical Center and Cisco have officially launched a strategic AI partnership to advance precision medicine in Taiwan. The collaboration centers on the "DELISH Food & Joy Support Platform," an AI-driven personalized care solution for stroke patients.

Technical Integration:

• Cisco AI Pods: To resolve the dilemma of "AI performance vs. data security," Chi Mei is deploying Cisco’s on-premise AI infrastructure. This allows sensitive medical records, imaging, and physiological data to undergo model training and inference within the hospital’s firewall, ensuring patient privacy and regulatory compliance.
• Personalized Care: The DELISH platform utilizes generative AI to analyze multimodal clinical data, acting as a "personalized nutritionist and rehab coach" for stroke patients. It generates customized swallowing risk assessments and dietary plans.

Operational Efficiency: Chi Mei President Hung-Jung Lin noted that the platform has reduced recommendation generation time by over 100x and saved over 700 man-hours per month. Patient compliance after discharge has improved by 30%, and family understanding of care plans has increased by 50%. This partnership serves as a scalable blueprint for AI transformation in healthcare across the Asia-Pacific region.
