Asustek Computer has been applying its IT hardware/software know-how to medical care, according to the company.

Asustek said it plans to cooperate with partners from different fields to develop medicare applications. For example, Asustek may not undertake development and/or production of medicare devices, but can provide advice on product design for partners and leverage its price bargaining advantages to help partners minimize procurement costs, it said.

Asustek and government-sponsored Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) in early September 2011 formed an alliance to promote application of Asustek-developed body motion sensing technology. ITRI has used the technology to develop a device for guiding cardiovascular patients' rehabilitation motion.
