The MOU, signed by the MOHW's Department of Information Management and Thailand's Mahidol University, marks Taiwan's first external AI validation mechanism and a pioneering global step in medical AI certification. Under the agreement, Mahidol University will recommend AI medical models for testing at selected Taiwanese hospitals, while Taiwanese hospitals will partner with Mahidol's affiliated hospitals to establish pilot validation sites in Thailand. The initiative will be supported by the MOHW's federated learning platform, which connects four clinical AI validation centers in Taiwan. Federated learning is a way to train AI models without anyone having access to an individual's data, offering a way to unlock information and feed new AI applications. These resources give developers and researchers access to larger, population-specific datasets, helping improve the quality and applicability of medical AI systems.
