In 2026, Taiwan will officially enter a super-aged society. Faced with the rising prevalence of dementia, *Global Views Magazine*, in collaboration with Botai Biomedical, is hosting the "2026 Forum on New Solutions for Herbal Medicine in the Dementia Era." This video segment opens the forum with a presentation by Yang Ma-li, President of Global Views Magazine. President Yang provides an in-depth analysis of the dementia crisis facing Taiwan—the population with dementia is projected to double to 700,000 by 2041.
This is not only an individual health issue but also a collective challenge that will shake family economies and the social workforce. At a time when traditional drug development faces bottlenecks, through President Yang's perspective, we will rethink how Taiwan's "herbal new drug" research and development can create new medical opportunities and become a "new guardian of the nation."
This forum consists of 10 engaging presentations by experts from industry, government, academia, research, and medicine, providing a comprehensive analysis of dementia prevention, care, and the progress of herbal new drug development.
Key Highlights:
1. Media Observation: Vision Magazine's 40th Anniversary Core Concern – "Ageless Taiwan" and "AI Technology"
2. Data Interpretation: Analyzing the Warning Signs Behind Taiwan's Dementia Prevalence Rising from 8% to 10%
3. New R&D Ideas: Reviewing Global Biomedical R&D Bottlenecks and Exploring the Possibility of Herbal Medicines as a Third Way
4. Taiwan's Strength: Hoping that Taiwan's biomedical R&D can become a new guardian of national health, just like semiconductors.
