合計 Digital Medicine: a Collaboration Between
作
畫 National Yang-Ming University and IIS
IIS Collaborative Projects Principal Investigator: Dr. Da-Wei Wang
Project Period: 2019/1~2021/12
1. Motivation and goals
Medical science and the healthcare system depend on high quality data and availability of ever-expanding
knowledge. Applications of data analytics and machine learning in medicine are attracting global attention.
Medical institutes are promoting the concept of learning in healthcare systems to enhance and accelerate data
collection, knowledge acquisition, and implementation in practice. Lancet recently published a new journal
named Digital Medicine. However, both medicine and information science are highly specialized elds and
mastering the essence of both elds is a daunting task. Therefore, promoting cooperation between experts
in these fields is critical. This study hopes to find a workable collaborative mechanism between National
Yang-Ming University and IIS. National Yang-Ming University hosts many experts in biomedicine, whereas
the expertise of IIS lies in information science. These two entities can be linked through medical informatics
technology. The preliminary plan is for the two parties to invest NT$5 million in research funds to enhance
cooperation between them.
In the early stages, research on stroke was adopted as the rst collaborative project, representing a framework
to design the most appropriate mechanism for cross-disciplinary cooperation. Initially, a planning team was
established, including biomedical, information science, and medical informatics experts. The role of the
planning team is to propose potential cross-disciplinary research topics and to communicate with experts
across the various elds. It is anticipated that, ultimately, a systematic mechanism for promoting cross-domain
cooperation will be developed to promote long-term cooperation between National Yang-Ming University
and the IIS. Later, National Chiao Tung University and Dr. Fan Yangzhen of NIH joined this project.
