LED industry to get rid of price competition in the Red Sea, is positive towards the development of emerging applications. Taiwan Industrial Technology Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as ITRI) will be LED lighting combined with medical and visible light communication technology, display a number of innovative lighting applications LED intelligent hospital. Through the integration of Taiwan's most competitive communications and medical two areas, to promote the wisdom of the hospital, leading the medical industry to the world.

ITRI in 2016 Taiwan international lighting technology exhibition, exhibition lighting application of multi LED intelligent hospital. Among them, visible light communication (Visible Light Communication, VLC) medical device positioning system, can effectively improve the efficiency of nursing staff. The Institute Vice President Liu Junting pointed out that the nursing staff need to shift inventory instrument, usually takes one to two hours to finish the homework, and LED lighting with VLC technology for indoor positioning system, you can keep track of high order instrument location, after the medical staff shift time, can be shortened to 20 minutes. The system has been introduced into the Christian Hospital in Changhua this year, will start from the small area, is expected to see results before the end of the year.

Liu Junting said that at present and ITRI Cathay hospital cooperation, plans to import positioning system of the emergency room, let the hospital at any time to master the instrument, beds and personnel positioning, but also through the system further improve the emergency room scheduling, past scenes of chaos. ITRI and NTU Hospital cooperation, VLC positioning system for indoor navigation and information navigation. In addition, the system can also let the medical staff through intelligent mobile devices, real-time control of patients and examination results, this also means that the requirements of VLC and related technology is very high, not only to increase the transmission speed, the overall system architecture will be changed.

LED intelligent hospital lighting applications another ITRI shows, is used for the intelligent LED lighting light treatment. Liu Junting with skin disease treatment as an example, to explain both the light exposure of the skin will have pain, but the use of LED array light source is equipped with intelligent systems, can make the light irradiation in the range of concentration of skin infections can be treated according to different choice of different wavelength of light source of bacteria. In addition to physical health care, intelligent LED lighting can also for the treatment of psychological problems, to help the light treatment of depression or insomnia patients to improve the situation, there is a number of hospitals in Taiwan and Taiwan jointly developed.
