[Human Health] 

  • Challenge 1: Medical Health for the Elderly

Do you receive drug without taking them? Do you have to take drugs many times in a day?The WHO report has warned that: With the increase of age and multiple chronic diseases, only half of the elderly on long-term multiple drug use can adhere to long-term treatment. The two ends of the scale are realistic crises. How can patients with severe chronic diseases, such as stroke, atrial fibrillation and peripheral arteriosclerosis, etc. use medications correctly? Show your digital solutions to solve the difficulties of lost drugs and self-medication management.

  • Challenge 2: Shortening Clinic Waiting Time

Although the clinic waiting time is “long”, physicians only spend a “short” time on each visit. Therefore, both physicians and patients are tortured by this phenomenon. Taking the common diabetes and age related macular degeneration for example, both patients and nurses have to spend a lot of time and efforts completing the visual inspection on each clinic visit. Is there any way to enable patients to complete the inspection procedures efficiently, shorten clinic waiting time, make it more convenient to see a doctor and reduce the workload of medical and nursing personnel?

  • Challenge 3: Good Self-care

From hemophilia to three major chronic diseases (hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia) and even cancer, when a disease becomes a part of daily life, how can digital tools help patients and caregivers live with the disease, and record the illness and symptoms outside the clinic for physicians to diagnose? 

[Agricultural Sustainability]

  • Challenge 4: Delicious Farm Produce

“Farmers” have become the rarest resources. From the place of origin to the dining table and digital agriculture, how to recover the lost agricultural manpower caused by population aging, rebuild consumer trust mechanism, reduce food waste, increase productivity and stabilize global food safety?
