安全與效率兼具智慧醫療新世代

Safety and Efficiency in a New Era of Intelligent Healthcare

透過萬物聯網及網路科技產品不離身，促使智慧醫療的發展有了無限可能，也無所不在。從醫院的智慧病房到個人健康促進，從疾病的治療到預防醫學，在在皆是智慧醫療、智慧健康推進的相關領域。智慧醫療首先在醫院內產生質變，許多醫院開始導入整合式智慧病房；加上無線網路的普及、醫療儀器設備的連網、穿戴式裝置感測收集、智慧型手機應用軟體和App的加值應用，讓原本運用於醫院的智慧醫療，漸進擴展至個人、家庭、機構、社區，甚至整個城市；目前資訊科技與通訊的整合應用，已經從智慧醫療發展到智慧生活和智慧健康。此外，原為娛樂用途的智慧型機器人，及虛擬實境互動遊戲，已然成為智慧醫療的得力工具，透過其感測器及雲端運算等技術的提升，如今已廣泛運用在健康促進、復健運動、衛教指導、醫療簡介、物品傳輸、長期照顧、用藥監測、藥品及化療藥品的調劑，甚至是精細手術的進行等。醫療行為始終以人為本，智慧醫療的發展及設計，皆是以人為核心，這其中的「人」不只是病人，還包括醫師、護理師、各職類的醫事人員、家屬及健康人等使用者，本文嘗試以「人」及「智慧」為核心、從功能端介紹智慧醫療的應用。

The advent of Internet of Everything and the portability of networking technology products have given endless possibilities to the development of intelligent healthcare, rendering it omnipresent. From smart wards to personal health promotion, from disease treatment to preventive medicine, intelligent healthcare can be applied in every field. Smart healthcare started off with improving service quality in hospitals, many of which are now equipped with smart rooms and integrated smart wards. Then, thanks to the popularity of wireless networks, wireless transmission capability of many medical devices, sensory collection of wearable devices, smartphone applications, and app value-added applications, the use of intelligent healthcare has expanded from hospitals to individuals, families, institutions, communities, and even the entire city. The integrated application of information and communication technologies has extended from intelligent healthcare to intelligent living and intelligent health. Some smart robots and virtual reality interactive games, originally designed for entertainment purposes, have become powerful tools for smart healthcare. Through the improvement of their sensors and cloud computing, etc., they are now widely used in health promotion, rehabilitation, health guidance, medical profiles, item transportation, long-term care and drug compliance monitoring, drug administration and even highly-complicated surgeries. Medical care should always be people oriented. The design and development of intelligent healthcare, should always be based on the core element of people, which includes not only patients, but also physicians, nursing staff, medical personnel of all categories and patients' families and other users. This paper, keeping people and intelligence at its center, tries to introduce the application of smart healthcare from a functional viewpoint.
