We are honored to have participated in the 8th Healthcare Expo Taiwan 2024, held in Taipei from December 5 to 8. This groundbreaking event showcased Taiwanโs remarkable advancements in biomedicine, research, technology, and innovation, featuring cutting-edge medical devices poised to address diverse global healthcare needs. The four-day expo serves as a vital platform for us to stay updated on the latest healthcare market trends, explore innovative medical products, seek potential collaboration opportunities, and reconnect with partners and peers in the industry. We are grateful to have taken part in this exceptional event and its key activities:

Our participation began with the Asia Pacific Forum on Precision Cancer Treatment, where we gained valuable insights, practical knowledge, and up-to-date guidance from both domestic and international physicians on advanced approaches to the precise treatment of lung and breast cancers. Asia faces the highest global lung cancer burden, with 65.7% of cases in Taiwan occurring among non-smokers.
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) was highlighted as an effective technology for analyzing tumor tissue or liquid biopsy samples to identify targeted mutations. These findings enable precision cancer treatment approaches based on a patientโs specific genetic profile. Common somatic mutations in lung cancers include alterations in the EGFR, KRAS, and TP53, genes. While breast cancer requires an integrated analysis involving DNA (e.g., PIK3CA, ESR1, BRCA1/2), RNA, proteomes (e.g., HER2), exosomes, and circulating tumor cells (CTCs). It was noted that many pertinent pathways in breast cancer do not have gene mutations. Additionally, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has proven valuable for detecting minimal residual disease (MRD) and predicting late recurrence.
While precision cancer treatments offer significant benefits to patients, all speakers indicated the challenges posed by high costs and limited health coverage. Critical decisionsโsuch as selecting single-gene testing, limited panels, or whole-genome sequencing, as well as choosing between tissue-agnostic and tissue-informed therapiesโrequire further consideration and development.

We had the privilege of meeting with an international buyer from South Africa, who engaged in a productive discussion about our products and potential market opportunities. After demonstrating our offerings, the buyer expressed interest in connecting us with individuals likely to benefit from our solutions.
We further discussed emerging trends in the African medical sector, identifying key market gaps for future business opportunities. The buyer also shared details about the products he is seeking, and we are pleased to explore sourcing these items from the Taiwanese market on his behalf, strengthening our global reach and contributing to healthcare advancement worldwide.

While exploring the exhibition in search of innovative technological devices, we discovered several fascinating approaches to addressing various health issues.
- Electrical Nerve Stimulation: Expanding its application to treat chronic diseases such as diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- F***l Microbiota Transplant (FMT): Utilized for treating gastrointestinal diseases like Clostridium difficile (C. diff) infection and Colitis.
- Integrated Medical Imaging Solutions: Combining 3D image, AI, and endoscopic systems to enhance image analysis, surgical efficiency and precision.
- Human-derived Exosomes: Emerging as a novel regenerative medicine therapy to treat a variety of conditions, such as skin wounds, bone disorders, and organs injuries or fibrosis.
- Smart Hospital Solutions: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) and telemedicine to improve healthcare quality and management efficiency.
We are grateful to be part of this ever-evolving biomedicine sector. Each year, we observe a remarkable progression of cutting-edge technological devices presented at this esteemed exhibition. It is truly inspiring to witness the dedication of the companies in this field, who consistently demonstrate a strong commitment to excellence and a deep sense of responsibility. We deeply appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with these trusted partners, working together to improve lives and provide the highest quality healthcare to individuals across the globe.
