Our school's innovative smart medical device research and development achievements have been honored with the "2023 i-CREATe Global Student Innovation Assistive Technology Competition" Gold Medal Award.
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。
Congratulations to our school for "Speak Up for Dysarthria" for winning the gold medal in the "2023 i-CREATe Global Student Innovation Assistive Device Competition"
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.

國內唯一醫事技術X醫學工程雙語學院
陽明交大生醫工程學院 EMI翻轉傳統高教
跟隨國家「2030雙語政策」,教育部自2021年啟動「大專校院學生雙語化學習計畫」,致力於推動「英語授課」(English as a Medium of Instruction, EMI),以強化學生的英語能力。
翻開教育部核定補助的41個重點培育學院清單,大多數學院為社會科學(含商管)、工程及應用科學領域,生醫領域僅有6個學院,其中,陽明交通大學生物醫學暨工程學院(簡稱生醫工程學院),是唯一結合醫事技術與醫學工程的學院。
陽明交大生醫工程學院下設醫學生物技術暨檢驗、生物醫學影像暨放射科學、物理治療暨輔助科技、生物醫學工程、生醫光電等系所,這些領域的專業知識,如教科書、論文、統計資料等皆以英語為主,擁有雙語能力是掌握第一手資訊、銜接國內外學術和產業的關鍵。
陽明交大生醫工程學院在副校長蔚順華教授與院長林峻立教授的監督與規劃下,設立雙語計畫推動工作小組(簡稱工作小組),邀請醫放系副教授盧家鋒與助理教授高瑀絜擔任正、副召集人,並聘僱專案管理、教育專員與課程品管師各一名,積極推動雙語教育。
盧家鋒說:「我們以『專業知識、批判思考、國際視野、有效溝通』為核心價值,展開了一系列在地化的雙語教育,期望培育出具有國際移動能力、國際競合力的專業生醫工程人才,並將校園打造成讓國際人才共融的雙語友善環境。」
