[Interdisciplinary] Innovative Breakthrough for Long-Distance Medical Care: NTU Cross-Boundary Medical Team Successfully Invented the Virus Sensor for Children’s Medical Care (Chinese Version)

NTU Spotlight There have been 36 deaths in Taiwan caused by the B flu epidemic ever since the eve of the Chinese New Year. Also, the stomach flu epidemic has been attacking Taiwan by causing severe symptoms and even deaths all over the island. It will definitely relieve the severe condition a lot by adopting this effective treatment within sufficient medical care and the innovative virus sensor invented by NTU medical team. The NTU cross-boundary medical team led by Professor Shi-Ming LIN at NTU Medical School and Professor Luan-Yih CHANG from the pediatrics department of NTU Hospital announced that they’ve successfully invented a virus sensor for children’s medical care at home, which features virus detection, data calculation and long-distance transportation. This innovative invention makes it possible that parents will be able to detect the stomach virus and the A/B flu epidemic for their children at home within only 12 minutes. Also, it enables parents to report the detection results back to their doctors via smart phones immediately. Thus, it is more effective and efficient than the conventional treatment.

NTU President Si-Chen LEE highly recommended and recognized the innovative breakthrough of this virus sensor invented by the NTU cross-boundary medical team led by Professor Shi-Ming LIN and the following doctors: Pan-Chyr YANG, Luan-Yih CHANG, Bor-Ching SHEU. They’ve been devoting to the area of children’s medical care to improve the conventional virus detection by experimenting sample of each patient and developing the optical technique combined with nanotechnology. Recently the NTU medical team has just successfully presented the portable gadget, sViroSensor (the virus sensor for children’s medical care at home), detecting the stomach flu and the flu epidemic for young children. It is more effective and efficient than the conventional treatment. Meanwhile, the home sensor avoids the risk of public infection in hospitals, which is great to be seen for improving children’s medical care.

Professor Shi-Ming LIN has also pointed out that it’s crucial to improve the conventional virus detection for the stomach flu epidemic because it usually took one to five days to receive the detection results, which meant a great deal of suffering and medical expenses before. Consequently, lots of patients suffered from the delay of treatment. The virus sensor for children’s medical care at home features virus detection, calculation and long-distance transportation. As well, this innovative invention is combined with the nanotechnology, optical technique and the features of smart phones. The newly invented detector captures the results of the virus as the following: the B flu influenza, the A flu, the EV 71 stomach flu, the Adeno virus. The detection results can be received immediately by using nanotechnology and the optical technique via an innovative chip using nano-technology, which makes the accuracy up to 90 percent.

Something great to be expected is that this innovative invention makes it possible that parents will be able to detect the stomach virus and the A/B flu influenza for their children at home within only 12 minutes. Also, it enables parents to report the detection results back to their doctors via smart phones immediately, which makes the long-distance consult possible in time. Also, doctors will be able to diagnose the patients with the most appropriate description according to the detection results from the parents via smart phones. Thus, it is more effective and efficient than the conventional treatment. Meanwhile, the home sensor avoids the risk of public infection in hospitals, which is great to be seen for improving children’s medical care.

With the great support from the National Research Program for Biopharmaceuticals held by the National Science Council and the financial aid from National Taiwan University, this research plan has been successfully promoted and is thus viewed as the spotlight recently. NTU President, Si-Chen LEE pointed out that National Taiwan University has been focusing on health care over the years and thus founded the cross-boundary research team for a better medical environment with significant achievements and contributions recently. What they have done is absolutely a great feedback showing their contribution to the society.
