過去十年，心血管相關疾病持續占據全球死因之首，且維持在國人死因的前三名，顯示這是一個世界各國尚未找到有效預防方法的棘手疾病，由於這是一個致死率相當高的疾病，如何早期發現疾病便成為相當重要的課題。

計畫完成一套應用於居家照護/社區篩檢的可攜式無線尿液檢測系統，方便且快速監控心血管的健康狀況，預防心血管病症及其併發症發生。計畫透過整合系統晶片與微電極感測尿液中多項心血管疾病相關危險因子的濃度，將資料無線傳輸到平台，結合臨床醫學研究進行心血管疾病的風險評估，由醫療機構人員透過平台監測，可給予使用者專業的醫療建議，達到預防診斷與居家照護的效果。

此晶片系統模組與平台技術已延伸應用至各種穿戴式的醫療產品，研究團隊並成立新創公司，以進行醫療認證與試量產，未來可確實將產品導向居家照護/社區篩檢的應用場域中。

For decades, cardiovascular disease(CVD) is on top of the causes of death in the world and ranks top three on the list of causes of death in Taiwan. The statistics reveal the issue of CVD mortality awaits for a useful prevention method. Due to the high mortality of CVD, the early detection of CVD is becoming a big issue.

We proposed a portable and wireless urine detection system and platform for home care and community screening. It provides a telecare and tele-monitoring platform to monitor the risks of CVD and prevent CVD and complications. The main idea is to develop a system-on-chip, a microelectrode and microchannel chip to detect concentrations of risk factors of CVD in urine. Data will be wirelessly transmitted to a smart application platform to evaluate user’s cardiovascular status based on the outcomes in clinical research. Users will obtain the risks of CVD and the professional medical advice from the cooperating cardiovascular doctors through the platform.
