Der-Yang Cho added: “We are excited about this collaboration, which positions smart hospitals in Taiwan at the forefront of providing more precision- and safety-oriented support to healthcare professionals and patients alike.” 

Customized Cancer Treatment Guidelines leverage the National Comprehensive Cancer Network’s guidelines, integrated with MedLM, to provide clinicians with pertinent information based on various factors such as patient staging, treatment methods, and risk evaluations. 

It can be used for creating cancer treatment plans and for delivering personalised treatment recommendations, which can be reviewed/edited by clinicians for patients’ use. 

Meanwhile, the Cancer Therapy Q&As application, which incorporates CMUH’s health educational content, has been optimised with MedLM, offering a knowledgeable system for addressing patient queries.  

This advancement not only saves time for healthcare professionals but also ensures patients receive comprehensive treatment options, thereby improving clinical outcomes and patient engagement. 

Google Cloud North Asia managing director Kathy Lee said: “In this remarkable era of gen AI, we are excited to collaborate with medical industry leaders that drive innovation through AI like CMUH and partner with them to build the future of healthcare in Taiwan.”
