TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Three academic institutions in Taiwan are teaming up to create a “Digital Medical Alliance” to establish a platform combining the internet of things, smart technology, and artificial Intelligence to better treat and prevent serious diseases and medical problems.

At the 2019 Digital Medicine Summit, the alliance, which includes researchers from National Yang Ming University (陽明大學), Chiao Tung University (交通大學), and Academia Sinica (中央研究院), announced that the first medical problem they will target will be “brain stroke.”
