Dear Hon Minister,

On behalf of the Taipei Mission in the Republic of Latvia, 1 have the honour to draw your

attention to the “Workshop on Al in Smart Healthcare: Telemedicine Infrastructure

and Al Benefit Analysis (1),” organized by Taiwan’s International Cooperation and Development Fund (ICDF), which is now open for applications.

Taiwan has built a robust foundation in telemedicine and smart healthcare, Ieveraging its sophisticated ICT and technology ecosystem. In particular, advancernents in wearable devices and Al applications have enabled Taiwan to successfully extend healthcare services

to rural areas and home-based care settings. The ICDF aims to share these strategies and experiences with like-minded countries to address shared ehallenges and critical issues, such as system reliability, data accuracy and information security.

The objectives of this workshop are to: (1) gain an understand of Taiwan’s strategies and experiences in promoting Smart Healthcare, and to explore the actual benefits of integrating

AT technology into clinical applications; (2) exchange practical experiences in implementing telernedicine and to explore alternative solutions for telernedicine in areas with insufficient network infrastructure.

The workshop wilI be held from March 18 to 27, 2026. 1 cordially invite your esteerned

ministry to recomrnend officials frorn public health and disease control units, healthcare

professionais, biornedical engineers, rnedical device developers, or health data analysts to

participate.

Overview

Workshop on Alin Smart Healthcare:

TeLemedicine Infrastructure and Al Benefit Analysis(I)

Dates: Mar 18-27, 2026

4 Invitation Required: Through the R.O.C. (Taiwan) embassies, representative offices, or Taiwan Technical Missions.

In response to the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, population aging, and shortages of medical resources and workforce, many countries are promoting telemedicine and smart healthcare solutions and integrating artificial intelligence (Al) to improve healthcare accessibility and system resilience. Leveraging its strong ICT and technology ecosystem, Taiwan has accumulated

solid experience in telemedicine and smart healthcare development. Through supportive regulatory frameworks and the integration of digital connectivity, wearable devices, and Al applications, healthcare services have been

extended to rural and home-based care settings. This training program wiII share Taiwan’s strategies and practical experiences in telemedicine and smart healthcare, while also addressing key challenges such as system reliability,

data accuracy, and information security.

Objectives O To understancl Taiwan’s strategies and practical experiences in promoting

Smart Healthcare, and to explore the actual benefits of integrating Al technology into clinical applications.

O To share Taiwan’s practical experiences in implementing Telemedicine, and

to explore alternative solutions for telemedicine (e.g., satellite communication services like SES and Eutelsat OneWeb) in areas with insufficient network infrastructure.

Contents O Taiwan’s Smart Healthcare Strategy and Impiementation: Sharing

practical examples of Taiwan’s smart healthcare development, such as the evolution of integrated medical big data service platforms and the establishment and promotion of Al centers.

O Ctinical Applications of Smart Healthcare: Sharing the clinical deployment of smart healthcare and Al technology in Precision Medicine and Preventive Medicine. lncluding the development of disease diagnosis auxiliary systems using Alin big data analysis, and the creation of clinical care support systems integrated with in-hospital medical information systems.

O Al Technology Benefit Analysis: Exploring the substantive benefits of clinically implementing Al technology in precision medicine, preventive medicine, and clinical care.

O Telemedicine Solutions: Sharing integrated hardware and software solutions and practical impiementation experiences for telemedicine, as welI as alternative approaches for environments with Iimited network i nfrastru ctu re.
