The JCT Plastic Surgery International Exchange Delegation visited FEMH on August 6, bringing together experts from Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Mongolia.

       On August 6, FEMH in cooperation with the Joint Commission of Taiwan and the Taiwan International Healthcare Training Center, hosted a "Smart Healthcare Visiting Exchange Event." F FEMH welcomed 10 plastic surgery specialists from Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Mongolia to learn about and exchange insights on the hospital's achievements in AI-powered wound care and smart healthcare innovation.

Focusing on burn and chronic wound care, the visit combined clinical care with artificial intelligence technology, showcasing FEMH's strengths in digital transformation and smart healthcare innovation.

During the keynote session, Dr. Dun-Hao Chang, Chief of the Department of Plastic Surgery, delivered a presentation titled "Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Decision Support System for Burn and Chronic Wound Care," introducing the team's years of achievements in AI wound recognition and telehealth wound care technologies. The research team utilizes deep learning technology to evaluate burn surface area, classify wound tissue, and measure wound area, assisting healthcare personnel in assessing wound conditions more rapidly and objectively. Combined with a telehealth platform, patients can upload images from home to remain connected with the care team, enhancing accessibility and continuity of care.

In addition, Nurse Head Ya-Wen Lin and Nurse Meng-Chang Guo from the Nursing Department shared practical experience in implementing the AI smart wound system (JUBO). Traditional wound care requires separate steps for photography, documentation, and data organization, which is time-consuming and makes tracking wound progression difficult. The AI smart wound system enables simultaneous image capture, data archiving, and wound analysis integrated directly with the HIS, allowing care teams to track patient wound progress in real time. The system also provides analysis results, such as wound size, staging, and tissue classification as clinical references, effectively improving work efficiency and care quality.

The visiting delegation also toured the Medical Intensive Care Unit  and the Wound and Stoma Care Consultation Clinic to observe smart wound care workflows and clinical applications firsthand. In-depth discussions took place on topics including AI technology implementation, interprofessional team collaboration, data security management, and telehealth development. Participants expressed that they benefited greatly and were deeply impressed by FEMH's innovative model of combining clinical expertise with information technology. Furthermore, Dr. Yao-Jen Chang from Shin Kong Hospital was invited to share practical clinical experience using "I-SWATR Intelligent Wound Software" for wound interpretation and care management. This exchange demonstrated the diverse value of smart wound care technology in clinical adoption across different healthcare settings.
