Artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications have become the latest global trend and are expected to offer new models for solving complex problems. AI-driven digital healthcare will be an indispensable direction for Taiwan’s next phase of industrial development.
In the past, education in the biomedical field at Yang Ming University focused primarily on acquiring professional knowledge required for certification. With the advent of the AI era, enhancing students’ digital competencies will broaden and deepen their thinking. A digital healthcare program that integrates biomedical sciences with electronic and information technologies will cultivate high-quality talent and provide more innovative solutions.
The Digital Healthcare Degree Program combines strengths in biomedicine and science/engineering to jointly advance AI applications in medicine and to develop next-generation smart medical devices (including imaging and sensors). Research and progress in advanced smart medical devices can fundamentally transform diagnostic and treatment approaches, improve quality of life, and promote more comprehensive healthcare. In curriculum design, the program aims to foster a shared technical language between biomedical engineers and clinical practitioners, enabling in-depth communication. It adopts a problem-oriented approach that centers on human needs in order to analyze and address health-related issues.
This program is jointly designed across colleges and departments to broaden and deepen student learning. Foundational science courses—such as physics, chemistry, calculus, introductory computer science, and biology—are offered by the General Education Division, the Department of Life Sciences, and National Chiao Tung University. The program’s specialized courses fall into two major domains:
1.Artificial Intelligence
2.Smart Medical Devices
These domains integrate the strengths of biomedical photonics, medical laboratory science, assistive technology, biomedical engineering, radiological technology, and bioinformatics. The new curriculum in AI and smart medical device technologies aims to cultivate emerging digital biomedical talent.
