Global anti-pandemic measures: Key new technology turns crisis into opportunity EVENT LINK

Under the current rapid global competition, in order to promote the transformation of the large-scale health industry in the post-COVID-19 era, Quanta was invited to participate in the discussion on the deployment of innovative technology strategies held at the Health Policy Conference and the National Development Conference on May 7.

Quanta Computer CTO Dr. Ted Chang said that the COVID-19 outbreak has greatly increased the demand for telemedicine. The new technology model developed by Quanta adopts the human body as a big data, integrates the IoT, conducts machine learning through the cloud, establishes an algorithm, and then becomes a total solution. However, unlike medical materials, how these software, algorithms, solutions, etc. pass regulatory review and obtain certification has become a key issue.

Quanta has cooperated with hospitals globally, implementing smart healthcare service at home. Currently, the most difficult is how to apply real-world data in real-world field, and then obtain empirical evidence. If these data can be internationally recognized like Taiwan's epidemic prevention system, it can become a role model for the world.

The Key Equation to the Future Artificial Intelligence – AI+HI EVENT LINK

(reported by Anue on Jul. 17, 2019)

 

The 2019 MIT ILP-Epoch Taiwan Symposium was held today (the 17th), with this year’s topic being “Less Artificial, More Intelligence: Challenges of AI as a New Industry”.  In his speech of "Dancing with AI", Mr. Barry Lam, Chairman & CEO of Quanta Computer Inc., described how Quanta transformed itself in the past two decades, and his expectation on the company's future. He further indicated that the future of artificial intelligence would put great emphasis on cooperation of artificial intelligence (AI) and human intelligence (HI) .

 

Quanta and MIT first collaborated in 2005, said Mr. Lam. AI servers being the recent development work, these days Quanta spares no effort in facilitating the growth of Taiwan's AI industry.

 

How does a 30-year-old company that started off with ODM of computers, surf the trend of AI as a leader?  Mr. Lam recalled that 20 years ago, he was fortunate to meet Mr. Michael L. Dertouzos, Director of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), who in Taiwan gave a speech on "Oxygen”—a research project aiming to develop human-centric interfaces that would help bring technical products closer to people's lives—and proposed the concept of "cloud". Mr. Lam deeply realized that convenience and virtualization, both of which later becoming the cornerstone of Quanta’s development, would be the trend for future products.

 

Mr. Lam believes that the following three questions should be considered before developing AI: What is AI? What can AI do for us? How do companies create markets for AI products?

 

Mr. Lam emphasized that AI should not be about replacing human beings, but rather be a tool that helps humans make smarter decisions. Take Quanta as an example: Beginning in 2000, the company changed its growth direction from technology-centric towards human-centric thinking. In 2005, the T-party was kicked off as a joint-project with MIT that put focus on easing the interaction between technologies and human beings. In 2010, both parties collaborated on the development of Qmulus, where AI products were put to use by healthcare for precise analysis of patients’ health conditions. Technologies developed there were then consolidated into the QOCA platform, which recently was donated to the National Taiwan University Hospital.

 

The development of AI-based products is unstoppable, according to Mr. Lam. Teamwork between artificial intelligence (AI) and human intelligence (HI) will be the primary target of the responsibility of, not only Quanta, but all mankind.

 

Mr. Lam also announced that for the third time, Quanta would continue its collaboration with MIT in creating a better future.

 

Quanta Computer donates “AI Medical Cloud” to National Taiwan University Hospital to make medical treatment smarter and more precise EVENT LINK VIDEO

(reported by Radio Taiwan International on Jul. 9, 2019)

 

As an demonstration of integration and innovation between technical and medical industries, and as part of its expansion into the smart medical domain, Quanta today (the 9th) donated an "Artificial Intelligence Medical Cloud Computing Integration Platform" (QOCA® AIM) to NTUH.  Tailor-made for Taiwan's medical environment by Quanta Research Institute, this platform will combine the best minds of NTUH and massive medical databases, to offer faster and more precise medical diagnosis, as well as to alleviate the shortage of clinical manpower.

 

Mr. Barry Lam, Chairman & CEO of Quanta Computer, with his R&D team who spent the past 6 months in creating this platform, donated QOCA® AIM to Dr. Shyr-Chyr Chen, representative and Superintendent of NTUH, on the 9th.

 

Dr. Shyr-Chyr Chen states that the advancement of artificial intelligence has been changing the human life, in that it has shortened the time for medical diagnosis and increased accuracy.  However, there is still a need for large-scale data collection and machine learning, which is only achievable by large-scale computation systems and database.  As such, he is very grateful for the smart medical cloud designed by Quanta, which is of great help to the medical team of NTUH.  Dr. Shyr-Chyr Chen said: "Be it disease diagnosis or gene therapy, I think there will be a big breakthrough.  I think artificial intelligence should be a maga-trend at present time. It is also the big drive for progresses in medical sciences, treatment of diseases, our life and work alike.”

 

Mr. Barry Lam talks about AI all the time. He also states that AI is the dream of all computer engineers. Graduated from NTU with a degree of Electrical Engineering, he has always hoped to build an artificial intelligence medical cloud for NTUH to assist the medical team and make breakthroughs in their researches.  "The software running on this platform is developed by us, specifically for medical applications. It makes the hospital smarter, more intelligent and more precise.  Of course, we are just the tool. We still need the players—and only the best players—to coach and train it.  So I hope that we can work together on more medical research in the future, and now is a good start," said Mr. Lam

 

The computing power of QOCA® AIM is 8,000 times more powerful than today’s highest-end gaming laptops, with capability of storing more than 2 petabytes of data. When combined with NTUH’s databases and Quanta’s data analysis technologies, it can be applied to the fields of genetic sciences and artificial intelligence, genetic deep learning, medical image computing, medical record data coding and management, etc., to make more precise and rapid medical decisions while alleviate the lack of clinical manpower.

 

Wearable Devices: Data Analytics, Not Just Data Accuracy EVENT LINK

(reported by Digitimes on Jun 21, 2019)

 

Dr. Shih-Ann Chen, professor of Medicine at National Yang-Ming University, is an expert in Cardiology. He stated that the data collected by wearable devices should be put through more analysis rather than mere presentation of numbers. Furthermore, data analysis should break down into categories and divisions.

 

For instance, ECG Holter may identify occurrence of arrhythmia, which then should be further analyzed and categorized by the specifics. Symptoms like atrial fibrillation (AF), supraventricular tachycardia, atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW syndrome), atrial flutter (AF2), atrial tachycardia (AT), ventricular tachycardia (VT) and heart block can all have their medical signals denoised by means of AI to improve efficiency of physicians’ diagnosis.

 

Taipei Veterans General Hospital has been cooperating with Quanta Computer Inc. to develop a more compact ECG wearable devices which aim to improve charging cycle to 30 days from 14 days.  Contents measured can be transmitted via intranet to the storage and analysis stations of different centers, such as the hospital’s teaching center and emergency room.  Given sufficiency in technical capacities and time, Dr. Shih-Ann Chen would like to see AI algorithms developed for each type of arrhythmia, in order to provide the most accurate and professional medical services.

Quanta to Push Advance Precision Medicine Forward EVENT LINK

 (reported by Digitimes on Jan. 29, 2019)

 

"To make hardware, find yourself an old enough company. But to make software as a business, find young companies instead," joked Mr. Barry Lam, Chairman & CEO of the 30-year-old Quanta Computer. Considering itself the best hardware partner in the technical arena of artificial intelligence (AI), Quanta is transforming its business for future success through Rethinking, Retraining, and Re-creation. Speaking of business transformation, Mr. Lam the last two major campaigns—from making desktop computers to notebook computers in 1988, and from notebook manufacturing to cloud computing in 2000—were never easy. In retrospective, however, those decisions, though challenged and questioned by shareholders and stakeholders at that time, turned out to be correct. It is because of determination and persistence that Quanta has been a key player in the global cloud service industry since 2012.

 

Quanta’s business development of artificial intelligence dated back to 2016; internally, Quanta proclaimed 2018 its Year One of AI. Within the next few years, it hopes to combine its strong foundation in hardware with domain know-how of medical professionals, to provide better medical services.  In addition, Quanta also cooperated with the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) in creation of “Taiwania 2”, a supercomputer ranked among the world’s top 20, capable of boosting and upgrading the industries of consumer products, cloud infrastructure, industrial applications and so on.

 

Amid the deployment of smart healthcare, Quanta invested lot of efforts in IoMT, smart hospitals, medical clouds, medical products, and artificial intelligence.  More specifically: “IoMT” includes research on cardiovascular diseases and thoracic medicine; “smart hospital” involves Quanta's QOCA 2.0 and smart ward monitoring system; “medical cloud” provides diverse applications through GPU servers and DNA storage systems; AR and VR are integrated into medical products as well.  AIoMT is expected to develop rapidly in the next few years.  Quanta’s strategic plan for AI is to take a multi-facet approach, led by research institutions and its Quanta Medical Foundation (QMF), an organization independent of the Quanta’s parent group. Currently, the objective for the new business is to create a smart hospital. Mr. Lam says that he welcomes expert opinions and discussions on the definition of a “smart hospital”, despite Quanta has its own imagination and thoughts.

 

Three Arrows of AI

Quanta’s overall R&D direction of Information and Medical Artificial Intelligence can be divided into three parts: Domestic medical centers, global startups, and foreign academic institutions.  In its cooperation of Taiwan’s domestic medical centers, Quanta is actively engaging with National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei Medical University Hospital, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, China Medical University Hospital, and Kaoshiung Medical University Hospital, all of which are major teaching hospitals. In terms of approaching global startups, Quanta is in touch with companies like Path AI, a startup founded by Harvard Medical School graduates, and Rivera, a 14-year company focusing specifically on lung cancer.  Path AI’s main business is about applying to pathology. It cooperates with pharmaceutical companies to make the drug delivery process smart, so that symptoms and treatment can be more related and fact-based.

 

In cooperation with foreign academic institutions, Quanta has collaborated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for a few years.  In addition to continuing with MIT, recently it has been actively working with Harvard and MIT's Institute of Medical Engineering and Science.  Moreover, there are many links in the field of cardiovascular translational medicine.  Dr. Collins M. Stultz, whose dual expertise includes information science and medical treatment, is part of the cooperation plan, too.  Mr. Barry Lam believes that smart medical technologies, such as artificial intelligence, require cross- and multi-disciplinary talents to play crucial roles in the development, discussion and field-introduction.

 

National Taiwan University Hospital and Quanta Computer Inc. Jointly Investing in Smart Healthcare EVENT LINK

To demonstrate the integration of technology and medical innovation, and to deploy smart medical treatment in a larger scale, a memorandum on strategic cooperation in the field of smart healthcare was signed on Jan. 11, 2019, by  Prof. Hong Nerng Ho, Superintendent of National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH), and Mr. Barry Lam, Chairman & CEO of Quanta Computer Inc., on behalves of both parties.  Quanta Computer will provide technologies associated with artificial intelligence (AI) and big data to NTUH's Medical Genie Project, an advanced project that aims to develop an AI decision support system for precision medicine. NTUH and Quanta will work on research and development of medical artificial intelligence to promote comprehensive adoption of AI within NTUH.

 

A massive hospital system spread out in different regions in Taiwan, today NTUH headquarters and its several local branches each owns medical records and information. Quanta will help NTUH build an AI image analysis center that integrates Quanta's smart hospital solutions, smart medical project data management platform, and medical big data management platform. These smart technologies will be integrated with NTUH's work flow. Assisted with AI and professional confirmation by physicians, routine processes such as interpretation of medical records and image will become more precise and more timely. Additionally, the new system can also relieve the challenge of clinical manpower deficiency. By sharing the research outcomes, both parties look forward to creating a new era of medical big data management and smart medical treatment.

AI integrated ECG Holter Quanta comprehensively cut into Cardiovascular EVENT LINK

(reported by Digitimes on Dec. 3, 2018)

 

According to Ministry of Health and Welfare, more than 48,000 people died of cancer, which is one of the top ten causes of death in the year of 2018. Counting all cases of “cardiovascular diseases” associated with heart, cerebrovascular, hypertension, diabetes, etc., the number however is a lot higher than that. That’s why Ms. Claire Chou, Director of BU12 Marketing Planning of Quanta, says that the company will be investing in the QOCA® ecg products that focus on prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases by means of monitoring electrocardiogram.

 

Mr. Shardad Hung, Associate Director of BU12 of Quanta, says that in the past, hospitalized patients undergoing cardiac catheterization had to wear a 12-leads Holter for ECG monitoring.  However, the patient's mobility is greatly restricted with so many electrodes attached to the body.  By reducing the size of Holter and making it simpler, Quanta hopes to improve the patient’s postoperative quality of life.  Expected to be launched in Q3 2019, the new ECG Holter will incorporate a special button that the patient can press it when in any discomfort.  It can immediately notify the caregiver at the nursing station. Data collected during the discomfort will be marked so the doctors or technicians can analyze the signal variation easily.

 

On the other hand, a home edition of Holter aims to extend the battery charge cycle to 14 days for use away from hospital. During the 14-day monitoring, the ECG data will be used to identify three types of variations, including long pulse, ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF).  Doctors may define the long pulse abnormality as lower than 40 beats per minute or higher than 120 beats.  Mr. Shardad Hung says that with the help of artificial intelligence technologies, the system is capable of showing abnormalities and alerts of special conditions today. Though already quite high, the system’s accuracy will be even better in the future, according to Mr. Shardad Hung.

 

ECG data collected by Quanta’s QOCA® ecg products can be presented on a variety of display equipment. Quanta has been cooperating with NCKU Geriatric Hospital, Taipei Veterans General Hospital and Taipei Medical University Hospital. In the future, the soft/hardware will be built and integrated with nursing stations at participating hospitals. Nurses will be able to access ECG data in real time much more easily than before.
