Taiwan hospital accelerator T+ MedIC names AI ECG and CT screening tools as first winners

Taiwan's T+ MedIC Accelerator, founded by MacKay Memorial Hospital and Tri-Service General Hospital with the Industrial Technology Research Institute, has named the winners of its first final round, the accelerator announced. Fourteen teams competed in two tracks at MacKay Memorial Hospital in Taipei on 2 November.

In the track for teams from the hospitals, the top prize went to Xindian Zhiyi, a Tri-Service team that uses AI to help read electrocardiograms. A MacKay bone-age AI system that has been used clinically more than 1,500 times shared second place. In the startup track, DeepRad.AI won with a platform that pairs low-dose chest CT with AI to assess lung, heart and bone health risks at once. Third place in that track went to a Tri-Service team's AI chest X-ray tool for screening lung function.
