Research Direction:

• Under the guidance of Professor Su Mei-ju, Associate Professor at the Biomedical Engineering Department of Chung Yuan Christian University, I served as a research and development engineer at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) Medical Electronics Technology Department and Advanced Biomedical Devices Technology Department from February 1, 2001, to December 31, 2005. During this period, I focused on various projects, including the development of wireless transmission modules for physiological signals, abnormal measurement techniques for electrocardiographic signals, remote home care service systems, quantitative analysis sensing chips for home detection of blood lipid proteins, implantable drug release mechanisms, and micro-mold fabrication techniques for sensing systems and new drug screening chips. The primary emphasis was on physiological signal processing, circuit design, micro-drug release mechanism design, and the development of medical equipment through micro-mold design technology. This experience laid a crucial foundation for subsequent academic research.Upon transitioning to academia, my research for the past five years has primarily revolved around combining biomedical sensors with AI embedded system technology. The main focus is on the development of the "Smart Care Assistive System" (SCAS), a core innovation for integrated healthcare for the elderly in remote medical and caregiving settings.

• The research on the "Smart Care Assistive System" aims to establish an innovative application for integrated healthcare for the elderly. It involves the integration of biomedical sensors and signal processing, real-time image motion feature analysis, deep machine learning, and Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The system is built using embedded systems such as Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson Nano, creating a smart healthcare and caregiving system that integrates biomedical electronics. Collaborative research has been conducted with the Chest Surgery Department of Hsinchu Mackay Memorial Hospital, Orthopedics Department, Rehabilitation Department of Hsinchu Cathay General Hospital, Puli Christian Hospital Long-Term Care Teaching Center, Rehabilitation Department of En Chu Kong Hospital, and Internal Medicine Ward of Wei Gong Hospital.

  • Specific projects include the development of a music-assisted breathing training and intelligent assessment system, a smart assessment system for swallowing function in stroke patients, a portable pressure center trajectory-based smart balance assessment system, a smart spinal brace system for spinal care, a music-assisted Parkinson's disease smart rehabilitation system, and a mobile asthma care automatic recognition system. Collaborative efforts with traditional Chinese medicine practitioners involve machine learning for studying the correlation between Doppler ultrasound images and traditional Chinese pulse analysis.

• Research on the "Medical Information Integration System" involves integrating data from instruments to build a remote care application system. This includes the integration of OpenICE, the adoption of Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) data format, and collaboration with the National Center for High-Performance Computing and the international company Real-Time Innovations (RTI) for the implementation of RTI Connext DDS (Data Distribution Service) data distribution service technology, aiming to achieve reliable, efficient, secure, real-time, and scalable data purposes. The current international cooperation is supported by the RTI Company University Program and is conducting research related to telemedicine respiratory care in cooperation with Puli Christian Hospital.

• These research endeavors have been published in relevant journals and international conferences, including EHB 2023, APAMI 2022, EIHP 2021, ATS 2020, ICESI 2019, ICITL 2018, ITL 2018, UAC 2018, MMHS 2017; Sensors 2015 journal and Healthcare Management Journal 2017; and an English book published in 2018.
