IDC Future Enterprise Award: Special Award for Smart Cities- Best in Citizen Wellbeing Award Winner Profile 2025

Taoyuan City built precision lung cancer screening model by combining online LDCT enrolment, AI assisted image interpretation, and mobile CT services. The program expands risk criteria beyond smokers and integrates cross department data triage to improve access and accuracy. Results from 2023 to 2025 show 92 percent early-stage detection, faster screening, high satisfaction, and strong economic and health system."Taoyuan City's lung cancer screening initiative demonstrates how smart city investments translate into measurable citizen wellbeing when risk intelligence, AI diagnostics, and outreach delivery are orchestrated as a unified public health service. By moving beyond smoker-centric criteria to population-specific risk stratification and mobile access, the program closes screening gaps, improves early detection at scale, and embeds equity into preventive healthcare design. It sets a strong benchmark for data-driven, inclusive health governance in smart cities," says Ravikant Sharma, Research Director, IDC Public Sector."As we enter into a year where enterprises shift from initiating their AI pivot and start to make investments in more advanced agentic AI systems, early disease detection takes new dimension and possibilities. Taoyuan's program stands out as it brings together digital enrollment, AI assisted interpretation, and mobile service delivery toward early detection at city scale. As AI evolves toward more autonomous agentic systems, this case reinforces a core requirement for public sector success. Focus should be on strong data governance, model oversight, and clear human accountability to scale impact," says Manoj Vallikkat, Senior Research Manager, IDC Public Sector.
