Abstract
Medical ultrasound industry in Taiwan, due to the lack of IP right, lacks of in-house key
component production, and industrial involvement, faces challenging obstacles and leads to
higher order core technologies such as ultrasound medical equipment cannot be established
and now mainly relies on imports. However, the opportunity should be exist once the industry,
government, and academic can invest and integrate resource on key technology, continued
consolidation of research and development to improve the current state on medical electronics
and medical devices (such as medical ultrasound) to truly transform to industry. The purpose
of this 4-year project is to propose the establishment of medical ultrasonic research center that
fuse the RD energy from academic (Chang-Gung Universityand) and industry (Chang-Gung
Medical Technology Inc.), to deepen the core technology (particularly on ultrasound circuit
design and its corresponding VLSI chip design), core IP keeping and technical transfer,
resource center establishment, as well as personnel training . Three key technology to be built
is: (1) Core medical ultrasound electronic circuit deisgn, (2) high frequency ultrasound
electronic circuit deisgn, and (3) medical ultrasonics ASIC and IC chip design. The following
endpoints will be met after executing this project: (1) to develop the multidisciplinary skills
required for medical electronics RDs, (2) RD establishment of high-end medical ultrasound
medical electronic products of key technologies, (3) Biomedical Electronics product
verification system, (4) to create a RD center of high-end medical ultrasound medical
electronics, (5) application/market-oriented circuit design and integration, (6) VLSI chip
design, (7) Core laboratory, and also includes: (8) Core circuit-designed IP establishment, (9)
program/ curriculum improvement, and (10) personnel training.We expected that core
electronic circuit and chip technology on medical ultrasonics can be built and IPs can be kept,
following with the IPs transferred into industry, actually occurred after the execution of the
plan, and finally have contribution on improving health care quality and reduce the cost of
health insurance health care in Taiwan.
