NVIDIA GTC Taipei -- NVIDIA today announced that Foxconn and Taiwan's leading medical centers are deploying NVIDIA-powered special agent workforces to scale the region's transition to AI‑driven health systems.

With one of the world's fastest-aging populations, Taiwan faces mounting pressure on its clinical workforce. Coordinating healthcare across clinicians, devices, rooms and shifts in constant motion is a challenge, with no single AI tool able to keep pace with the complexity of an operational hospital.

Agentic AI represents a new hospital operating system that is adaptive, orchestrated and built to scale clinical expertise, extending Taiwan's healthcare workforce capacity to serve the population's growing demands.

Specialized agents are domain-specific, always-on AI systems that reason, plan and act across clinical and operational workflows within both digital and physical spaces. Digital agents act inside systems, handling clinical reasoning, documentation and care coordination. Physical agents, including robots and intelligent devices, operate on hospital floors, managing logistics, monitoring and procedural support.

Under the Taiwan government's "Healthy Taiwan" initiative, the region has committed $1.5 billion to build a sovereign, regulated AI-native health system spanning clinical hospitals, academic institutions and technology companies. Foxconn will serve as the ecosystem integrator connecting government programs, hospitals, device makers and software companies to deploy real-world clinical AI at scale.
