ABSTRACT

The rapid growth of research results, such as academic papers, patents, software, datasets, and technological prototypes, poses significant challenges for effective technology transfer from research institutions to practical applications. This study proposes a Research Results Management System (ROMS) aimed at optimizing the specific practices of organizing, tracking, and transforming scientific achievements into social or industrial benefits. Through in-depth analysis of nearly 50 research projects from three institutional partners (a general hospital, a specialized hospital, and a research-oriented hospital), the system combines structured data management with an intuitive user interface to facilitate collaboration between researchers and technology conversion personnel. ROMS adopts advanced features such as metadata indexing for efficient retrieval, status tracking for project supervision, and compatibility evaluation for matching research results with application requirements, all of which are supported by customized algorithms to improve the accuracy of research and industry matching. The research results indicate that the time required for practical application transformation has been reduced by 30%, while the interdisciplinary coordination ability has significantly improved.
