Ming Chi University of Technology (MCUT), through the T5GIP Academic-Industrial Research Platform, collaborated with National Taiwan University and National Taiwan University Hospital to participate in the 2025 Taiwan International Medical Exhibition. The exhibition spanned the fields of healthcare, long-term care, diagnostics, and pharmaceuticals.

　　MCUT highlighted two major technological breakthroughs:

　　1. Bioactive fish peptides for fracture and oral injury repair

　　Assistant Professor Hu Chih-Chung from the Department of Mechanical Engineering has developed a project titled “Small-Molecule Natural Bioactive Fish Peptides for the Repair and Rehabilitation of Bone Fractures and Oral Injuries.” The project primarily employs a novel Kirschner wire (K-wire) system to fix limb fractures and stabilize structural strength. In addition, an expansion device is used to assist oral cancer patients in independently performing mouth-opening activities such as tooth brushing.

• The Innovation: These approaches are further complemented by small-molecule natural bioactive fish peptide materials to promote biological repair. This innovative strategy is capable of addressing the needs of different clinical indications.

　　2. Children’s Respiratory Training and Peak Expiratory Flow Meter

　　In addition, the project titled “Children’s Respiratory Training and Peak Expiratory Flow Meter,” developed by Associate Professor Hsu Ting-Yang and his team from the Department of Industrial Design, transforms respiratory volume measurement into a game-based approach. By encouraging children to repeatedly blow darts as part of a game, the system motivates frequent exhalation and enables the collection of lung capacity data. This technology is suitable for use in pediatric clinics, school health centers, and home care settings, helping to improve asthma management and pulmonary function monitoring among school-aged children.

　　Industry Recognition and Global Impact

　　MCUT’s exhibition not only demonstrated its research prowess in the medical field but also showcased its strength in interdisciplinary collaboration. The booth attracted significant interest from medical clinics, care centers, and major industry players, including TOPCO Scientific and Taichung Veterans General Hospital.

　　According to the recently released 2026 THE (Times Higher Education) World University Rankings, Ming Chi University of Technology ranks first among private vocational universities in both "Industry Income" (Academic-Industrial Cooperation) and "Research Environment."

　　By participating in the T5-GIP platform, MCUT is gaining increased international attention and accelerating the transition of laboratory innovations into practical applications, providing new momentum for the global healthcare industry.
