In 2025, Taiwan’s population aged 65 and above surpassed 20%, officially entering a super-aged society. As long-term care needs continue to rise, the Institute for Information Industry’s Digital Transformation Research Institute (DTRI), supported by the Industrial Development Administration, Ministry of Economic Affairs, has helped Tungs' Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital partner with DARWIN Corporation to introduce a new smart rehabilitation application, which is developed from the application scenarios and needs for elderly care and rehabilitation. Leveraging MicroLED transparent displays integrated with 3D AI motion sensing, the team has developed an immersive, interactive rehabilitation system that extends cross-domain application validation and paves the way for diversified display-industry innovations.
At the presentation event held on November 12th, representatives from industry, government, and academia gathered to witness how display technology and AI-driven data integration are reshaping interactive medical experiences. The rehabilitation solution—featuring high-brightness, high-transparency displays combined with gamified therapy designs—aims to boost seniors’ motivation and adherence to rehabilitation programs, supporting proactive health management, clinical treatment, rehabilitation care, and health promotion in age-friendly healthcare institutions.
DTRI notes that “personalization, convenience, and inclusiveness” are the three critical factors influencing rehabilitation outcomes among older adults. By integrating display technologies with smart-health solutions, the initiative provides personalized training programs, convenient physiological monitoring, and services adaptable to all age groups—addressing key pain points identified by Tungs' Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital. The event showcased three major innovations: an AI-enabled senior-friendly interactive device, a multimedia display wall, and a 3D body-motion monitoring system. Together, these solutions effectively enhance seniors’ willingness to train and significantly improve rehabilitation results.
MicroLED-Based “AI Fun Rehab Machine” Redefines Upper-Limb Training for Seniors
Among the solutions on display, the most popular was the “AI Fun Rehab Machine”, equipped with a 30-inch MicroLED transparent display. Integrated into a claw-machine-style glass enclosure, the system blends physical environment and virtual imagery to create an immersive exercise environment. With ultra-high brightness, wide color gamut, and low-latency visuals, seniors can interact naturally and receive real-time feedback—significantly enhancing rehabilitation engagement, enjoyment, and motivation.
Notably, the “AI Fun Rehab Machine” incorporates Yu-Cheng Technology’s gamified exercise-assistance system, transforming professional physical-therapy movements into playful interactive challenges that balance professional therapeutic practice with engaging gameplay. The system records activity and training performance in real time, providing objective evaluation data for hospitals, day-care centers, and long-term care facilities. This enables more effective strength training, cognitive-attention exercises, and flexibility improvement for older adults.
200-Inch Mini LED Video Wall Paired with Smart Rehab Software Introduces New Model for Group Therapy
Another highlight of the exhibition was a 200-inch Mini LED video wall integrated with an innovative smart rehabilitation software system. The setup delivers precise visualizations of movement details along with real-time sensor feedback, creating an immersive and interactive environment for group training sessions. The program includes virtual street-crossing exercises, balance and reaction training for stroke patients, and AR-based health promotion activities designed to delay physical decline. Additionally, the program also features motion-based games tailored for individuals with mild cognitive impairment, helping improve both cognitive and physical performance. Real-time post-training data can be uploaded to the cloud for analysis, enabling physicians to fine-tune personalized therapy plans and extending the system’s potential to remote rehabilitation applications.
B Balance Smart 3D Body Scanner Delivers Nine Health Assessments in Just Three Minutes
The B Balance Smart 3D Body Scanner uses a 42-inch bar-type LCD mirror display, powered by AI computing and 360-degree optical 3D scanning technology, to complete nine key health assessments—such as muscle distribution, body fat ratio, hydration level, and balance—within just three minutes. The system provides a comprehensive overview of an individual’s physical condition.Equipped with an Intel RealSense depth-sensing module and AI analytics, the system can instantly generate 3D body models, identify posture and joint issues, and securely store data in the cloud for long-term tracking and analysis. The Smart 3D Body Scanner is able to effectively reduce clinical workloads while improving efficiency and diagnostic accuracy, making it suitable for health examination centers, fitness facilities, postpartum care centers, and long-term care institutions.
According to III’s Digital Transformation Research Institute (DTRI), rapid advancements in high-end display technologies are expanding their applications in healthcare environments. By integrating display technologies with real-world clinical validation, the institute aims to enhance display hardware and software capabilities, drive innovative applications, and develop a domestic MicroLED best solution to accelerate the growth of Taiwan’s smart display ecosystem. At the same time, these technologies offer viable solutions for workforce shortages in the healthcare sector as Taiwan enters a super-aged society.
