Since its establishment in 2007, the Talent Quality-management System (TTQS) has served as Taiwan's only national-level standard for evaluating the quality of training and development programs. Over the past 17 years, more than 20,000 companies and training institutions have participated in TTQS assessments. This system fosters a positive cycle in talent development across the country by providing organizations with evaluations that highlight strengths and areas for improvement in their training processes, along with recommendations for continuous enhancement.

 Congratulations to our college 
 for receiving the TTQS Bronze Certification for the Training Organization version 
 in October, 2024

陽明交大AI腦瘤偵測獲TFDA批准 國內首款 多腦瘤智慧醫材

今(2)日，陽明交大宣布，其自行研發的AI腦瘤輔助偵測系統和等速肌力試驗評估系統兩項醫材，已正式取得衛福部上市許可。此款AI腦瘤輔助偵測系統，可協助針對聽神經瘤、腦膜瘤與腦轉移瘤等三種主要腦癌的磁振造影(MRI)進行判讀，是國內首見針對多種腦瘤自動偵測與圈註的智慧醫材軟體。研發此AI技術的生醫光電研究所教授吳育德表示，過去，腦腫瘤的檢測仰賴醫師檢視影像並手動圈註，在放射治療前，醫師通常得審視大量的影像資料來評估腫瘤體積、位置、有無水腫等病理特徵。


研究團隊將從臺北榮總與臺中榮總取得超過20萬張的二維影像，給人工智慧學習後，才能克服目前臨床磁振造影影像軸向與平面解析度不同，不同腫瘤類型與大小位置不一等難題，讓人工智慧能正確判讀腦瘤，可大幅縮減臨床治療所需成本。另一項獲得核可的醫材為針對幼童及中風長者的口腔等速肌力試驗評估系統，可以用來解決臨床上對於唇肌力復健的需求，協助患者進行有效的唇肌力訓練。


推動醫療器材商品化的陽明交大創新醫材轉譯研發中心主任林峻立教授表示，大學常是醫材設計研發的火車頭，但過去只有業者才能申請查驗登記，影響商品化的時程。林峻立進一步表示，《醫療器材管理法》鬆綁後，讓大學除了研發外也可以兼為醫材業者，有益促成更多研發成果商品化，朝臨床落地應用的目標邁進。陽明交大表示，創新醫材轉譯研發中心今年4月才以3D列印下顎骨板技術，通過食藥署「醫療器材品質管理系統」(Quality Management System, 簡稱QMS)。陽明交大成為同時擁有醫材品質管理系統，第一級與第二級醫材許可的首間大學。林峻立表示，為了提升大學醫材研發品質，替民間創造價值與技轉機會，陽明交大將先以醫用軟體及輔具醫材為主軸，藉由臨床驗證、法規、品質確認及商業化的一條龍服務，協助加速醫材開發，建構各類型產品的QMS，並取得查驗登記。

由本校創新醫材轉譯研發中心與生物醫學暨工程學院所支持，在醫工系賴穎暉教授指導下，由醫工系張育哲、鍾伃晴、單婉菱、張書寧及張舒喬五位同學組成的研究團隊，參加第16屆於泰國舉辦的「2023全球復健工程與輔具科技學生創新挑戰賽（Global Student Innovation Challenge-Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology）」。在全球33支參賽隊伍的激烈競爭中，以卓越的表現脫穎而出，榮獲技術組金牌獎優異成績，並由泰國皇室成員King Kanitthathiraj Chao公主親自頒獎。

本次團隊參與競賽的作品為「Dysarthria Voice Conversion (DVC)構音障礙語音轉換系統」，整合了三項核心技術，包括類患者資料生成技術、自動語音辨識以及文字轉語音，並與宇康生科（APrevent Medical Ltd）攜手合作，成功開發出一款創新的溝通輔具。這項輔具能夠即時將構音障礙患者所說的語音進行轉換，大幅提升語音的清晰度，進而提升構音障礙患者的生活品質，重拾「說」的自信。

賴穎暉教授表示，衷心感謝校方以及教育部「精準健康產業跨領域人才培育計畫」的資源支持，使參賽團隊系統化地學習智慧醫材開發，研究成果得以實際應用，而促進精準健康產業創新。績優團隊透過參與國內外競賽，得以提升跨領域參賽經驗、加強創新思維與國際競爭力。並得益於課程業師的無私指導以及團隊成員的認真與努力。賴老師期望，更多在校生及校友能夠參與這一系列豐富的培訓計畫。參考網址:泰國官網

Our school takes great pride in the Medical Device Innovation and Translation Center as well as the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Under the mentorship of Associate Professor Ying-Hui Lai, a team composed of 張育哲、鍾伃晴、單婉菱、張書寧, and 張舒喬 participated in the '2023 Global Student Innovation Challenge - Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology' held in Thailand ,bringing great honor to our school .


The project of the team focuses on the topic of "Dysarthria Voice Conversion" collaborated with the company APrevent Medical to successfully develop an innovative communication aid. This device not only assists dysarthric patients in improving their vocal expression but also significantly enhances their efficiency in communication, and further promotes their  speech communication abilities. Students from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University stood out among the fierce competition from 33 participating teams worldwide, and won the gold medal. The award was presented by Princess King Kanitthathiraj Chao from Thailand's royal family in person.

The core technology of the "Dysarthria Voice Conversion (DVC)" project comprises three main parts: patient-like data generation technology (data augmentation), automatic speech recognition, and text-to-speech conversion. Additionally, our entry takes a step further by proposing the utilization of optical sensing technology to reduce the required vocal effort for patients, thereby achieving a more effortless communication in real-time experience.

Based on the current experimental results, our proposed DVC system demonstrates superior conversion capabilities, leading to a significant improvement in the clarity of patients' speech. This finding clearly indicates that the DVC system we introduced in this competition holds the potential to assist patients with speech disorders in enhancing communication effectiveness, further improving their quality of life.


It is worth mentioning that President 林奇宏 gave unwavering support in the "Ministry of Education's Interdisciplinary Talent Development Program in the Precision Health Industry - Smart Medical Devices Field." This program not only encompasses well-designed educational courses on medical device development but also covers both theoretical and practical aspects. Participating students can systematically and effectively learn comprehensive product development methods, enterprise operational planning, as well as innovative and entrepreneurial logical thinking. Professor Lai expressed deep gratitude for the selfless guidance provided by the course instructors and commended the team members for their dedication and efforts. He looks forward to the participation of more current students and alumni in this enriching training program.
