After experiencing local outbreaks in Taiwan, this technology was created by Professor Yang Zhi-Jie’s team in collaboration with Chunghwa Telecom. It serves as an assistance tool for hospitals with isolation wards and quarantine facilities, by providing a monitoring platform for happy hypoxia. The platform seamlessly integrates IoT (Internet of Things) and cloud-based smart medical analysis and utilizes three core technologies: front-end blood oxygen measurement device pairing, blood oxygen concentration trend detection, and abnormality display and alerts.
The platform has been successfully deployed at the New Taipei City Hospital and the Yang-Ming University Hospital, where it has demonstrated the capability to detect changes in patient’s blood oxygen levels early on and enable timely treatment. At the New Taipei City Hospital, it has achieved the goal of zero sudden deaths in isolated ward patients, proving the efficacy and feasibility of the platform implementation.
In the post-pandemic era, the happy hypoxia monitoring platform can then be transformed into a vital tool for establishing smart internal medicine wards, converting limited hospital space and resources into AI-driven environments, thereby enhancing medical capacities.
