AI-assisted ECG interpretation and a multimodal preventive screening platform take top honors among 14 finalist teams

TAIPEI, Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- An AI tool that helps clinicians read electrocardiograms and a screening platform that pairs low-dose chest CT with artificial intelligence won the top prizes at the first final round of the T+ MedIC Accelerator, a health-tech accelerator that brings together a private and a public medical center in Taiwan.

The accelerator (T+ MedIC Accelerator,) was founded by MacKay Memorial Hospital and Tri-Service General Hospital (TSGH), in partnership with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI). It held its inaugural final competition and awards ceremony on Nov. 2 at MacKay Memorial Hospital in Taipei. Fourteen teams, seven in each of two tracks, pitched solutions spanning clinical decision support, nursing workflows, health monitoring and mobility assistance.

The incubation track is open to teams that have not yet incorporated and whose core members work at the organizing hospitals or their affiliated institutions. The startup acceleration track is for startups founded within the past eight years or in-house biomedical ventures of larger organizations.

The top prize went to Xindian Zhiyi, a Tri-Service General Hospital team that uses AI to assist electrocardiogram analysis and interpretation, with the goal of improving disease detection and clinical decision-making.

Two teams shared second place. MacKay Memorial Hospital's Department of Digital Medicine won for a bone-age AI interpretation system that compares cases against real patient images and has already been used clinically more than 1,500 times. A second Tri-Service team developed a dedicated connector for chemotherapy delivered through a urinary catheter, designed to make the procedure safer to handle and to reduce health care workers' exposure to chemotherapy drugs.

DeepRad.AI took first place with a multimodal preventive screening platform that combines…
