Dr. Kai-Cheng Hsu’s Bold AI Vision: 4 Ways It’s Changing Healthcare Forever

Sometimes, the right person shows up at the right time—with the perfect mix of heart, knowledge, and vision to truly make a difference. For Dr. Kai-Cheng Hsu, that moment is now.

Dr. Hsu is more than just a tech-savvy executive. He’s a neurologist with a heart for innovation, a researcher who understands the pressures of clinical care, and a systems thinker with an eye for real-world solutions. With experience at leading institutions like the National Institutes of Health (NIH), China Medical University Hospital, and the Industrial Technology Research Institute, he has spent years building bridges between medicine and machine learning.

Dr. Kai-Cheng Hsu: A Vision That Goes Beyond the Screen

One of the most exciting projects under his leadership is the rollout of the Generative Healthcare Intelligent System—an AI-powered voice medical assistant recently introduced at China Medical University Hospital.

It’s a system that listens to conversations during consultations and automatically generates medical records—in just 12 seconds.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

• A 28-year-old patient named Mr. Su undergoes an ultrasound.

• No typing. No keyboard. No screen.

• The AI panel “hears” the consultation and generates an accurate medical report—without the doctor needing to lift a finger.

The results are astonishing:

• 75% reduction in time spent on record-keeping.

• Initial consultation times shortened from 20–30 minutes to just 5–10 minutes.

• Nurses, who used to spend an hour writing notes, now do it in just 15 minutes.

• And it’s multilingual—supporting Chinese, English, Taiwanese, and Hakka.

 “We’re not trying to replace doctors,” Dr. Hsu emphasizes.
“We’re trying to give them more time to be doctors.”

This technology isn’t just about efficiency. It’s about empowering clinicians, reducing burnout, and letting healthcare professionals focus on what matters most: caring for patients.

A Quiet Revolution with Global Impact

The GHI system is part of a broader effort to embed Generative AI into every layer of healthcare. From imaging and diagnostics to medical records and hospital operations, the goal is clear—make AI a true partner in care.

Joining forces with Dr. Jiaen Lian, Chair of Acer Group’s medical division, Dr. Hsu is helping lead a transformation that could reshape care delivery across Asia—and beyond.

A New Chapter in a Meaningful Journey

With this momentum behind him, Dr. Kai-Cheng Hsu recently announced a new chapter in his professional life :

“Excited to start a new chapter as President and Chief Medical Officer at Acer Medical.
Looking forward to shaping the future of AI in healthcare with a talented team, bold vision, and deep commitment to impact.”

This move reflects not just a new title, but a continued commitment to driving healthcare forward—with compassion, purpose, and the power of technology.

Acer Medical, a part of the Acer Group, is building the future of healthcare—one innovation at a time. Their AI-powered technologies help doctors interpret medical images faster and more accurately, easing the burden on clinical teams and improving patient care. What sets Acer Medical apart is its belief that technology should always serve people—making healthcare more efficient, accessible, and human.

His story is a reminder that the best healthcare innovation doesn’t just come from code or machines—it comes from people who care deeply about healing, helping, and making things better for everyone.

Dr. Hsu is one of those people. And the future of AI in healthcare feels brighter with him helping lead the way.
