Abstract：Objective To reveal the current development trend of medical science and technology through comparative analysis
of the scientific and technological achievements from 2018 to 2020 in Fujian and Taiwan. Methods Quantitative and qualitative
analysis methods were used to make comparative analysis of papers, patents, and clinical trials in the field of medical science and
technology from 2018 to 2020 in Fujian and Taiwan, in order to reveal the status of basic research, technology development and
clinical transformation. Results The total number of papers in Fujian and Taiwan were 6342 and 19686 respectively, and the number
of papers in 12 medical related disciplines and sub-disciplines in Taiwan were more than those in Fujian, among which, the relatively
smallest gap was medical experiment, and the biggest was medical informatics. The number of patent applications in Fujian and
Taiwan were 12137 and 5392 groups respectively, with 42.84% and 53.47% active. The enterprises in both Fujian and Taiwan had the
largest number of patent applications, with 6260 and 4564 groups respectively. The number of clinical trials in Fujian and Taiwan was
256 and 1309 respectively, and both provinces had the largest number of clinical trials with high-level of evidence. There were 148
randomized controlled clinical trials in Fujian and 761 in Taiwan. Conclusion There is still a certain gap between Fujian and Taiwan
in the field of medical science and technology. Basic research and clinical transformation in Fujian aree not as active as Taiwan.
Although Fujian had obvious advantages in technology development scale, Taiwan had better technological innovation ability and
market competitiveness.
