  • Needs to understand NHI

What it does

Tw Healthcare Regulations is an agent skill from asgard-ai-platform/skills. Navigate Taiwan healthcare regulations including NHI system, medical device classification, drug registration, telemedicine rules, and health data protection. Use this skill when the user is building a health tech product for Taiwan, needs to understand NHI, evaluate medical device regulatory pathways, or assess telemedicine compliance — even if they say 'sell a medical device in Taiwan', 'how does NHI work', 'telemedicine regulations', or 'health data privacy in Taiwan'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `examples/sample_scenario.md`, `references/nhi-reimbursement.md` and `references/tfda-submission.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Clinical and healthcare research and Health and fitness tracking. The repository describes itself as: 301 open-source coding agent skills across 22 domains — methodology, judgment & gotchas packaged as Claude Agent Skills for the Asgard AI Platform. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user is building a health tech product for Taiwan
  • Needs to understand NHI
  • Evaluate medical device regulatory pathways
  • Assess telemedicine compliance — even if they say sell a medical device in Taiwan

Example prompts

  • “sell a medical device in Taiwan”
  • “how does NHI work”
  • “telemedicine regulations”
  • “/tw-healthcare-regulations”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7f4f8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tw Healthcare Regulations loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 126 tokens; SKILL.md has 382 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~126
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Taiwan Healthcare Regulations

Framework

IRON LAW: NHI Shapes Everything in Taiwan Healthcare

Taiwan's National Health Insurance (全民健保) covers 99.9% of the
population. Any healthcare product or service strategy in Taiwan must
account for NHI — either by getting NHI reimbursement (volume play)
or by positioning as self-pay/premium (margin play).

Ignoring NHI is like ignoring gravity.
NHI System Overview
AspectDetail
Coverage99.9% of population (23M+ people)
Single payer衛生福利部中央健康保險署 (NHIA)
Premium5.17% of insured salary (shared: employer 60%, employee 30%, government 10%)
Co-payOutpatient: NT$50-420. Hospitalization: 5-30% (capped)
Drug pricingNHIA sets reimbursement prices via Drug Expenditure Target (DET)
Annual budget~NT$800B+ (growing 4-5% annually)
Medical Device Regulatory Path

Class ILowBandages, tongue depressorsRegistration (listing)1-2 months
Class IIMediumBlood pressure monitors, surgical glovesTechnical review6-12 months
Class IIIHighImplants, AI diagnostic softwareFull clinical review12-24 months
SaMD (Software as Medical Device)Varies by intended useAI diagnosis, clinical decision supportClass II or III depending on risk6-24 months

Regulatory body: 衛生福利部食品藥物管理署 (TFDA)

Digital Health Regulatory Landscape
CategoryRegulation StatusKey Rule
TelemedicineExpanded post-COVID (通訊診察治療辦法)Allowed for follow-up visits, chronic disease, remote areas. Initial visits still require in-person for most cases.
AI diagnosticsSaMD regulation appliesIf AI makes/assists clinical decisions, it's a medical device requiring TFDA approval
Health appsUnregulated if wellness-onlyCrosses into medical device territory if it diagnoses, treats, or monitors a medical condition
Health data個人資料保護法 (PDPA) + 醫療法Medical records have stricter protection than general personal data. Patient consent required for data use.
Electronic medical records醫療機構電子病歷製作及管理辦法EMR systems must meet MOHW standards. Cloud storage allowed with conditions.
Regulatory Decision Tree for Digital Health Products
Does your product diagnose, treat, or monitor a medical condition?
├── NO → Not a medical device. General consumer regulations apply.
└── YES → Medical device (SaMD)
    ├── Does it provide clinical decision support?
    │   ├── Autonomous (AI decides) → Class III
    │   └── Assistive (human decides) → Class II
    └── Does it monitor vital signs?
        ├── Clinical grade → Class II-III
        └── Wellness/fitness → Likely not regulated (but verify with TFDA)

# Healthcare Regulatory Assessment: {Product}

## Product Classification
- Type: Medical device / Wellness / SaMD / Telemedicine
- Risk class: I / II / III
- Regulatory body: TFDA / NHIA / None

## Regulatory Pathway
| Step | Action | Timeline | Cost |
|------|--------|----------|------|
| 1 | {regulatory step} | {months} | NT${X} |

## NHI Strategy
- NHI reimbursement: Pursuing / Not pursuing
- If pursuing: {reimbursement category, pricing strategy}
- If not: {self-pay positioning, target market}

## Compliance Checklist
- [ ] TFDA classification confirmed
- [ ] Clinical data requirements identified
- [ ] Data privacy (PDPA + medical records) compliant
- [ ] NHI reimbursement strategy decided

Gotchas

  • NHI price pressure is relentless: NHI reimburses at set prices that are revised downward periodically. Building a business dependent on NHI reimbursement means accepting margin erosion over time.
  • SaMD regulation is evolving rapidly: TFDA is still developing frameworks for AI-based medical devices. What's unregulated today may require approval tomorrow. Monitor regulatory changes actively.
  • Clinical trials may be required: Class III devices and some Class II devices need clinical evidence. Budget 12-24 months and NT$5-20M+ for clinical trials in Taiwan.
  • Hospital procurement is relationship-driven: Taiwan's major hospitals (台大, 長庚, 榮總) have procurement committees, but relationships with key opinion leaders (KOLs) in medicine are critical for adoption.
  • This is educational guidance, not regulatory advice: Taiwan healthcare regulations are complex and change frequently. Consult TFDA directly or engage a regulatory affairs consultant for specific product submissions.
