Furthermore, a leading digital healthcare enterprise in Taiwan, Quanta Computer Inc., gave the keynote speech and discussed Taiwan's digital healthcare transformation.

 

Globally, healthcare is considered the sector that is most at danger and at risk being the first line of defense when facing a large-scale pandemic. Taiwan is empowering its strong ICT industry to help medical institutions with regard to planning and executing their digital transformations. The country creates more opportunities for partnerships between medical institutions around the world by sharing experiences in software and hardware integration, Artificial Intelligence (AI) implementation, and establishment of cloud databases,
