Latest trends 5G and AI applications in Taiwan
Today we take you to see the latest 5G and AI applications, which include products for hospitals, construction sites, and police. FTV reporter Stephany Yang has the highlights.
This 5G smart trolley delivers meals to patients, reducing the burden on manpower and the risk of cross-infection. The trolley is equipped with screens, sensors, lifting platforms, disinfection systems, and heat preservation systems. It utilizes a real-time app to monitor and manage patient meal nutrition plans. Students and faculty from Overseas Chinese University developed this smart application for hospitals.

We applied 5G and big data, and even designed the trolley model. When delivering meals, there is an app for patients and another app for medical staff. The patient can see his own information and the nutritional value of his meals. Through the app, the patient can alert medical staff to any food allergies. We can also solve the traditional paper-based method of collecting patient information. Through this method, we can help the hospital integrate information and reduce manpower issues.

There is a sensor in the front that can be used to scan the patient’s hospital band, to identify the patient’s meal. The sensor can also measure the patient’s heart rate, blood pressure, etc., and will transmit it to this platform for family members that are keeping track. The doctor can know the patient’s condition. There is also an ultraviolet sterilization function that will sterilize the place it passes by.
Another 5G application uses AI to detect whether an unauthorized person has entered a construction site. It can also detect whether workers are wearing a safety helmet.

When the system detects an unauthorized worker entering the venue, it will activate an alarm. At the same time, a message will be sent to the person in charge. Secondly, the system ensures basic security in public areas and that people are wearing a safety helmet.
Huang Chun-chin’s team also produced a road-safety system that detects traffic, road conditions, and whether a car has violated regulations.

The two live videos you see now are from the Freeway Bureau. The current traffic is shown on this screen. The camera not only lets us know the road conditions, but at the same time, you will find that it knows what kind of car you have and whether it’s complying with road laws. This is a solution we provided to police. It can help ease manpower strain.
These innovations were showcased at a 5G exhibition organized by the Ministry of Economic Affairs in November. With the rise of 5G and AI, businesses in Taiwan are harnessing the technologies to solve pressing problems.
