Taiwan opened a bold AI-driven healthcare program aimed at treating Type 2 diabetes. The Taiwan National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) partnered with Google for Health and Google Cloud. They now use AI tools like Gemini on the Cloud to manage care for 1.3 million people living with Type 2 diabetes. Taiwan hopes to expand that reach to more than 2 million by 2026.

Roughly 10 percent of Taiwan’s population has Type 2 diabetes. Those rates keep climbing. That rise pressures the nation’s healthcare budget. With two decades of health records, insurance claims, and test results, NHIA now sorts patients by condition severity. The AI model then feeds data into Taiwan’s Universal Family Physician Program 2.0. That system assigns doctors personalized care plans based on risk scores.

NHIA also introduced a Gemini-powered AI assistant into the Taiwan My Health Bank mobile app. It provides users with tailored guidance and trusted, up-to-date diabetes information. NHIA Director General Dr. Shih Chung-liang says that Taiwan is the first country to deploy AI in preventive healthcare across the entire public health system.

Google describes this rollout as a shift toward value-based care, where funding follows patient outcomes instead of procedures. The AI system flags individuals at risk, enabling early intervention and targeted care. That helps the system work smarter and more efficiently

This large scale project marks Taiwan’s pivot to preventive healthcare. It could cut costs while improving outcomes. If it succeeds, it may offer a model for other nations facing rising diabetes rates.
