Abstract: Since 1995, Taiwan’s National Health Insurance (NHI) has tracked the healthcare data for Taiwan’s entire population. As of July 2019, a total of 2.47 billion medical examination reports have been collected, and the amount of data is very large. To cope with these large amounts of medical expenditure data and move towards the goal of the accurate review, Taiwan’s Ministry of health and welfare began to open its medical imaging database to biotechnology and healthcare firms, using artificial intelligence (AI) to help explain the patient’s CT and MRI results, and take AI as a tool to review health insurance benefits.
