International Exchange -
In-Depth Discussions with U.S. Drug Courts at RISE23

In June of 2023, our research center made its international debut by participating in “RISE23,” a flagship event organized by All Rise in the United States, introducing advanced technological trends into traditional judicial systems. All Rise, formerly known as the National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP), is a global leader in the field of justice reform, bringing together professionals from various disciplines. The event brought together key figures in the field of drug courts across the United States, including judges, prosecutors, case managers, court coordinators, and healthcare providers, making it a grand platform for top professional exchange.

During the event, our team participated in several important forums and thematic discussions. Through focused group discussions, we shared our latest breakthroughs in rapid screening technology with industry elites, while exploring the challenges and needs they face in the treatment program.

Our team also conducted interviews with practitioners from U.S. drug courts, delving into their experiences with rapid screening in their daily work and existing technological issues. Building upon this feedback, we are committed to designing rapid screening tools that better meet real-world needs to address current challenges.

This cross-border learning journey not only inspired our research development but also served as an opportunity to initiate cooperation, expanding our influence on the international stage. Moving forward, we will continue to maintain an open mindset, collaborating with professionals worldwide to explore further possibilities of technology in various fields, and making greater contributions to society.

研發毒駕唾液快篩新利器  台大教授成緝毒重要推手

近年來毒品問題嚴重,毒駕也跟著氾濫,法務部雖對毒駕提出修法,但實務上如何有效查緝成為重要課題。台大生物機電工程學系教授周呈霙接受中研院委託研發毒品唾液快篩系統,近日有重大突破,她研發唾液快篩檢驗,不但可讓警察路檢或盤查更有效地查緝,省去傳統的尿液檢驗的不便,且避免遭掉包風險,成為警方查緝不法的重要新利器。

唾液測毒 10分鐘搞定

國內藥物濫用日益嚴重,據衛福部統計,卅歲以下年輕人藥物濫用成癮以K他命為大宗。然而過去檢測K他命以驗尿或驗血為主,耗時長且需要至特定場所,檢測不易。成大、台大、中國醫藥大學與警察大學的研究團隊,花費三年時間,開發出以唾液為檢體的手持可攜式毒品判讀機與快篩試劑,檢測時間只需十分鐘,不但方便,準確率高達九成以上,可望成為警方測毒利器。

台灣高階儀器研發計畫力促毒品快速查驗與防患

過去毒品檢測主要是以驗尿或驗血為主,耗時長且需要至特定場所,限制過多造成檢測不易。為了克服此一狀況,台大生物產業機電工程系副教授周成霙則與中央大學、台北醫學大學共同研發手持式檢測儀,檢測受試者唾液中的毒品反應,進而判斷是否食用毒品。
