Tunghai University once again achieved outstanding results at Taiwan’s largest scientific research exhibition, the Taiwan Innotech Expo, standing out among more than five hundred patented works with its chest-pain patient recognition system, intelligent poetry-generation system, biomimetic air-purification technology, and biochar circular technology, and winning one Gold Award, three Bronze Awards, and Corporate Special Awards. These achievements showcase the high potential and value of its research applications.

At Taiwan’s largest national research and innovation event, the Taiwan Innotech Expo, Tunghai University won one Gold Award, three Bronze Awards, and five Corporate Special Awards.

The 2025 Taiwan Innotech Expo, organized by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the National Science and Technology Council, and other government agencies, was recently held at the Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1. The event attracted exhibitors from nineteen countries, including Japan, the United States, and Germany, and nearly 450 companies gathered to showcase more than 1,100 patented works. As an important platform for technological exchange between Taiwan and the international community, the expo once again demonstrated outstanding innovations. Following its remarkable performance last year, Tunghai University once again joined the exhibition with six innovative technologies, winning one Gold, three Bronze, and several Corporate Special Awards in the “Invention Competition Area.” The technologies covered diverse fields, including smart healthcare, architectural biomimicry design, eco-friendly new materials, and digital humanities.

Distinguished Lifetime Chair Professor Yang Chao-Tung (right 3) from the Department of Computer Science applied AI image recognition technology to develop a facial expression recognition system for chest pain patients, achieving a breakthrough in smart healthcare and winning the Gold Award.

Tunghai University’s Vice President for R&D, Lin Hui-Chen, stated that this year’s Gold Medal winner is the “Chest-Pain Patient Facial Expression Recognition System and Method,” developed by Distinguished Professor Yang Chao-Tung of the Department of Computer Science. This patented system, created in collaboration with Taichung Veterans General Hospital, uses AI image-recognition technology to capture the facial expressions of patients and establish a recognition system for chest-pain symptoms, assisting physicians in making faster diagnoses and treatments. This represents a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of smart healthcare.

In addition, Tunghai University earned three Bronze Awards. Professor Chang Yu-Teng of the Department of Business Administration developed the “Intelligent Method and System for Generating Poetic Audio Media,” which uses AI voice-generation technology to automatically create poetry audio content, integrating speech speed, tone, music, and atmosphere to promote intelligent and personalized learning of Chinese poetry. Professor Chiu Kuo-Wei of the Department of Architecture developed an “Air Purification System,” which applies biomimetic design inspiration from marine organisms and natural fluid structures to develop an air-purification system with automatic drainage and modular replacement features that improve urban airflow and PM2.5 pollution issues. Professor Li Kuan-Ting of the Department of Chemical Materials Engineering developed a “Solid Waste Treatment Method, Solid Waste Decomposition Method, Concrete Composition, and Carbon Dioxide Absorbent,” which uses ambient temperature and pressure to produce high-activity biochar, applied in building materials, water purification, and aquaculture, achieving both waste-reduction and carbon-capture effectiveness in alignment with global sustainability goals.

Lin Hui-Chen also pointed out that Professor Chiu Kuo-Wei’s “Air Purification System” received a Corporate Special Award from Minmax Group for its unique biomimetic design concept and environmental sustainability potential. She stated that these achievements fully demonstrate Tunghai University’s long-term investment and accomplishments in environmental sustainability, digital humanities, and forward-looking design. In the future, the university will continue to promote technology transfer and industry-academia collaboration, using technological innovation to connect with industry and contribute more to social development and industrial upgrading.
