We are honored to be invited to the Central Broadcasting Station "Voice of South Taiwan" program to share the entrepreneurial journey and technology applications of Hitspectra.

Professor Xiang-Chen Wang, the founder of Hitspectra, discovered through in-depth research on medical imaging technology that hyperspectral technology has great potential in medical diagnosis, especially in the early identification of enterovirus and esophageal cancer. By combining artificial intelligence and imaging technology, Hybrid Vision is committed to becoming the "eyes" of future robots to solve industry pain points in the fields of medicine, agriculture, etc. and bring innovative value to global industries.

Founded in 2020, Hitspectra is a spin-off from National Chung Cheng University and is supported by the government's Value Creation Program. In its early stages, the company focused on the medical field and worked with large hospitals to develop technology for identifying early lesions of esophageal cancer. This research has been going on for more than seven years and has successfully overcome the problem of insufficient image clarity. It has also worked with capsule endoscope manufacturers to make the technology more applicable and accurate. Although medical devices face challenges such as strict regulations and long commercialization cycles, Hitspectra remains committed to breaking through these bottlenecks, has obtained ISO13485 certification, and is actively promoting internationalization and expanding the global market.

Due to regulatory restrictions and commercialization challenges in the medical field, Hitspectra has expanded its hyperspectral imaging technology to the agricultural field. The company has developed intelligent fruit sorting machines and automatic measuring and grading systems for anthuriums. These technologies have been successfully applied to agricultural products such as cherry tomatoes, lemons, dried longans and lychees, helping Taiwan's agriculture reduce manpower requirements and improve grading efficiency. In addition to the local market, Hitspectra is also actively developing cooperation in Southeast Asian and overseas markets to expand global business opportunities.

However, the market development of emerging technologies is not always smooth sailing, especially in the face of difficulties in obtaining clinical data and regulatory challenges. Despite this, Hitspectra believes that these challenges are inevitable for the future development of science and technology, and will continue to invest resources and time to break through the entry barriers in various countries' markets. At the same time, Hitspectra is also convinced that these technological breakthroughs will bring new opportunities to the future intelligent market.

Choosing to develop in the south, Hitspectra makes full use of the local excellent universities and scientific and technological talents, and the local government actively supports start-ups, providing Hitspectra with a good soil for development. In addition, Taiwan's agricultural customers are mostly concentrated in the south, which enables the company to be closer to market demand, respond quickly and provide solutions.

In the future, Hitspectra’s vision is not limited to the medical and agricultural fields. The company hopes to apply its hyperspectral imaging technology to household robots, enabling them to identify skin lesions, food quality and other functions, and further change people's lifestyles. Hitspectra sincerely invites partners around the world to work together to use image recognition technology to bring more intelligent applications to the world and create unlimited possibilities for the future.
