Central News (Reporter Lin Qiao-lien, Kaohsiung, April 21) Gao Ming-jian, Chairman of the Cerebrovascular Disease Prevention Foundation and Professor Emeritus at National Taiwan University College of Medicine, who has practiced medicine for 60 years, recently shared his journey from introducing microsurgery to combining AI technology to promote preventive medicine, stating that true medical progress should shift from "treating illness" to "treating the unborn."
Gao Ming-jian was recently invited to participate in the "Famous Doctor Comes to My Home" online lecture, with over a hundred participants online. Gao Ming-jian said that true medical progress should shift from "treating illness" to "treating the unborn." He promotes the use of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) as a health indicator and combines it with AI technology to protect people's health, predicting and intercepting stroke risks in advance through technology.
"Treating the unborn" means understanding one's body condition and diseases in advance, with the intention of preventive treatment.
Facing stroke, the leading health threat to the nation, Gao Ming-jian established the Cerebrovascular Disease Prevention Foundation in 2000 to fully advocate for atrial fibrillation screening and the "golden 3 hours" emergency concept. He said that in recent years, he has introduced AI technology into preventive medicine and led his team in touring the island for screenings. In two years, they completed nearly 20,000 tests and successfully identified over 2,000 cases of abnormal heart rhythm.
Program host Xu Xinhua stated that Gao Ming-jian was born in 1938 and studied at Tokyo University and Harvard University. After returning to Taiwan in 1976, he was the first to introduce microsurgical neurosurgery, laser therapy, and percutaneous trigeminal neuralgia electrothermal treatment, driving Taiwan's medical field from traditional invasive surgery towards an era of precision minimally invasive treatment.
Xu Xinhua said that Gao Ming-jian not only established a neurosurgery training system but also received the Executive Yuan's Outstanding Science and Technology Application Talent Award in 1992, laying the foundation for Taiwan's neurosurgery to connect with the world.
Furthermore, Gao Ming-jian has served as a legislator and examination committee member, promoting multiple medical policy reforms and founding the Medical Alliance. He has also made many contributions in medical education, including leading the promotion of the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) system, which shifts Taiwanese medical students from paper-and-pencil tests to practical skills validation, enhancing the quality of medical education.
Gao Ming-jian spans three major areas in the medical field: clinical practice, education, and policy. He has previously received the Taiwan Medical Contribution Award and the Neurosurgery Lifetime Achievement Award. Xu Xinhua said that Gao Ming-jian's story is not just a personal achievement but also a microcosm of Taiwan's medical progress. (Editor: Li Shu-hua) 1150421
