碩士 === 崑山科技大學 === 資訊管理研究所 === 101 === The average life expectancy has increased for most people in the world today based on the report of UN which leads to the aging population society due to the new medical development results. It is predicted that there are 2 billion aged people in 2050 (22% of total population) which exceeds the population of 15-year-old. According to the CEPT’s statistical survey, the aging index in Taiwan will exceed the 100% in 2016 which results in the total population of the elderly is reaching over three million. Taiwan is approaching a real aged-society. The speed of aging of Taiwan's population is less than the average rate of Japan and such that it arises the worries about the care for the elder, impacts the whole economic growth results and also brings the investment and research opportunities of healthcare business. Recently, there are numerous products for the elderly investing by domestic/foreign corporations in the market. Accordingly, the present study explores the technology innovation on health promotion thru patent planning by means of incorporating both marketing investigation and CHI patent index using the analysis of patent planning based on database of USPTO, JPO, and TWPAT. Moreover, identify the technology roadmap to realize the trend of technology innovation for discovering the patent mines for avoiding the infringement and protecting the intellectual property of products. Finally, SWOT analysis is used to compare two major competitors in health product industry and provided the suggestions in technology development and strategies of patent planning.
