Established in 1959, the department is Taiwan’s oldest institution dedicated to training professionals in health education. With a strong focus on human care and respect for life, it emphasizes health promotion and disease prevention—prioritizing education and guidance over treatment and rehabilitation.

In response to the rapid development of smart technology, the department integrates AI, virtual reality (VR), mobile health (mHealth), and data visualization into both research and practice. Recent projects have not only gained recognition in academia but have also been successfully applied in communities, long-term care, and digital learning settings—demonstrating the real-world impact of technology-assisted health promotion.
