Mechatronics in medical modality development

Following the promotion of living quality and the implementation of the national health instrumentation program in Taiwan, the demand of research and development for localized medical modalities has become critical. With corporation with Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, the Medical Automation and Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (MAREC) in Chang Gung University has been dedicated itself to the development of pivotal technologies for medical mechatronics systems/modalities and perform clinical evaluation of newly developed modalities. In this paper, part of the localized medical mechatronics systems and rehabilitative modalities developed in Chang Gung University (Taiwan) was reported.
