A Taiwan hospital's screens can now detect vital signs
Fu Jen Catholic University Hospital worked with the AUO group and four other companies on transparent Micro LED displays, including one that checks vital signs.
At a Taiwan hospital's health-check center, screens not only display information, but can also look back at patients to evaluate vital signs.
Fu Jen Catholic University Hospital near Taipei (天主教輔仁大學附設醫院) has built a smart health center around transparent Micro LED displays. It showed the results at a launch event, Commercial Times (工商時報) reported.
A 30-inch transparent screen is paired with an AI camera running remote photoplethysmography technology developed by Zcon Telehealth (日康科技): it picks up tiny changes in the light reflected from blood vessels in the face as the heart beats. A user looks at the camera, and in as little as 20 seconds the system checks blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen and breathing rate. The AI software has applied for registration as medical-device software with Taiwan's health regulators, the report says.
A 16.1-inch transparent kiosk uses a large language model to translate conversations with the center's foreign patients, and a 54-inch transparent banner greets visitors at the entrance.
The hospital's president says seeing their own images and data on the see-through screen helps patients understand how doctors read their results.
The hospital is working with the AUO (友達) group and four other companies, according to the report.
