As healthcare regulations tighten and the demand for efficient, data-driven operations grows, Taiwan’s pharmacy sector stands at the threshold of a new digital era. Responding to challenges such as stricter GDP compliance, rising procurement costs, and workforce shortages, Sunshine Tech (巽晨國際) has unveiled its next-generation MedEdge AI Recognition & Alert System, developed in collaboration with MediaTek’s Genio IoT platform.
This innovative solution combines AI-powered optical recognition and pharmaceutical RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) technologies, bringing intelligence, automation, and transparency to community pharmacies and clinics. The system has been recognized as a 2025 MOEA SBIR “Taiwan Chip Innovation Program” highlight, underscoring its contribution to Taiwan’s digital healthcare ecosystem.
Reimagining Pharmacy Operations with AI and RAG Technology
The MedEdge AI system is designed to address one of the most pressing issues in the pharmacy sector: the overwhelming administrative workload caused by manual data entry, documentation, and compliance verification.At the core of the system lie two major technological innovations:
- AI Optical Neural Model — This AI engine breaks through format limitations and recognizes complex document layouts, automatically digitizing and classifying prescription forms, invoices, and drug order sheets. It also provides real-time visual alerts for inconsistencies or anomalies.
- Pharmaceutical RAG Vector Database — Built on an intelligent retrieval-augmented generation framework, the system integrates with Taiwan’s National Health Insurance (NHI) data to trace drug sources, cross-check prices, and verify prescription records. Through data vectorization, it enables millisecond-level search and retrieval, empowering pharmacists with faster auditing and decision-making capabilities.
Secure, Seamless Integration with Zero-Trust Architecture
Recognizing the importance of data protection in healthcare, MedEdge AI is embedded with Akamai’s Enterprise Application Access (EAA) Zero-Trust Security Architecture. This ensures secure connectivity between existing pharmacy POS systems, pricing platforms, and insurance reporting systems, while maintaining compliance with strict healthcare data standards.As a result, MedEdge AI allows pharmacies to move away from labor-intensive, paper-based workflows and embrace a fully digital, secure, and intelligent management model.
Industry Endorsement: Bridging Technology and Daily Practice
The launch event, co-hosted by Sunshine Tech and MediaTek, featured leading voices from Taiwan’s pharmacy community.Bonan Chen, Director of MediaTek Taiwan Business Division, stated:
“The MediaTek Genio IoT platform is designed for smart devices across industries. Sunshine Tech’s deep understanding of pharmacy operations and its focus on real-world problem-solving make it a trusted partner in applying Genio’s AI capabilities.”

Former Taichung Pharmacists Association President Mr. Hsiao commented:
“This idea has long been needed in our industry. The MedEdge AI system provides exactly what pharmacies are missing—automation that relieves manpower shortages and reduces administrative pressure.”
Mr. Lu, owner of Forlun Pharmacy, added:
“Pharmacy administrative work is repetitive and time-consuming. With MedEdge AI’s automation, pharmacists can focus on what truly matters—patient education and community health—while minimizing human errors and financial losses.”
Looking Ahead: Building 300 Smart Pharmacies by 2026
Beyond digitization, MedEdge AI represents Sunshine Tech’s vision for a smart, connected, and sustainable healthcare ecosystem. The company plans to collaborate with POS system partners to establish 300 AI-enabled demonstration pharmacies and clinics across Taiwan by 2026.These pilot sites will serve as living examples of how AI and IoT can transform traditional pharmacy management, reduce human error, and enhance service quality—ultimately empowering pharmacists as frontline healthcare partners.
With MedEdge AI, Sunshine Tech aims to make every pharmacy not only more efficient but also more human—where technology enables professionals to focus on care, not paperwork.
