The CIIE is an important platform to showcase global innovative technologies and connect them with the Chinese market. The medical innovation incubation zone aims to promote the integration of early-stage medical technology with capital and industry.
China News Service, Shanghai, November 5 (Reporter Chen Jing) The 9th China International Import Expo (referred to as the "CIIE") opened in Shanghai on the 5th. The medical innovation incubation zone will welcome guests on the same day. About 30 medical innovations from the United States, Australia, Europe and other countries and regions were unveiled.
This year, there are a lot of "hard core" first-time products in the zone, such as Hong Kong's Roonao Technology, which has independently developed a new generation of ultra-fine flexible multi-modal implantable neural electrodes and brain-computer interface systems. The electrodes adopt ultra-fine filament-like flexible structures, which can better comply with the natural movement of brain tissue and reduce implant damage and inflammatory reactions. Dianqi Medical showcased its domestically developed venTOM-100 thoracic impedance tomography instrument, a non-invasive and radiation-free bedside lung function monitoring device that can dynamically display lung ventilation distribution in real time and promote ventilation management from "based on experience" to visualization and quantification.
Plinio Sergio Targa, CEO of an innovative company in Sao Paulo, Brazil, appeared in the special area with neuromonitoring products. "China's medical technology ecosystem is very complete. In the medical innovation incubation area, we can establish connections with all parties in the market and observe the real picture of China's innovative technology development at close range."
Boris Pasche is the founder of an innovative company based in the United States. He brought new technologies for the treatment of liver cancer. "China is very advanced in technology, and the level of clinical trials has improved significantly in the past 10 years. China is the perfect market to expand new technologies and conduct clinical trials."
Boston Scientific's Nalu neuromodulation system was named a representative "hard technology" exhibit at this year's CIIE. This is the eighth consecutive year that Boston Scientific has participated in the CIIE for the first time in the form of a "double booth" with the main booth of the medical device pavilion and the innovation incubation area. The main booth focuses on presenting global breakthrough minimally invasive technologies and local innovations; the special area focuses on the next generation of medical technology, showing how early-stage technologies can move toward clinical practice step by step through capital incubation and industry empowerment.
China's huge clinical needs, mature R&D capabilities and complete industrial system are giving birth to new innovation opportunities. Boston Scientific said that in the past 30 years, the company has continued to expand its presence in China and explore new technologies and solutions with Chinese medical institutions, scientific research teams and local innovative companies.
China's National Medical Insurance Administration stated on the 5th that as of September, the number of people insured by China's basic medical insurance reached 1.328 billion, and it is expected to achieve positive growth throughout the year. The official response stated that previous changes in the number of insured persons were due to the management of duplicate insurance and structural optimization. In addition, version 2.0 of the medical insurance wallet has been launched to support cross-provincial sharing of employee medical insurance personal accounts.
China's health examination market continues to grow and is expected to reach 800 billion yuan in 2030. The industry is transforming from "single inspection" to "continuous health management". Through the integration of multiple business formats, AI assistance and data integration, it solves the pain point of "just inspect and ignore" and improves post-inspection service capabilities.
The National Medical Insurance Administration reported that as of the end of September 2026, the number of people insured by my country's basic medical insurance reached 1.328 billion, and it is expected that the whole year will achieve positive growth for two consecutive years. Officials responded to the reasons for the structural changes in the number of insured persons, pointing out that the management of duplicate insurance and the transition to employee medical insurance were the main factors.

A survey by the Taiwan Cancer Foundation shows that among the 159 respondents who still pay for their own medicines, nearly 80% spend more than NT$30,000 per month on medicines, and nearly half of them have their lives affected. Although the waiting time for new drug payment has been significantly shortened, about 37% of approved indications are still unpaid. The foundation calls for expanding payment and establishing a fund to stabilize financial resources.
The National Medical Insurance Administration announced that the medical insurance wallet has been upgraded to version 2.0. Intra-provincial mutual aid for national employee medical insurance personal accounts has been fully realized, and cross-provincial mutual aid has been accelerated. The scope of mutual aid has been expanded from spouses, parents, and children to close relatives such as brothers, sisters, grandparents, and grandchildren. Direct settlement of medical and drug purchases across provinces will be realized before the end of the year. So far, 1.8174 million people have been assisted across provinces, with a total amount of 1.457 billion yuan, and 754,100 designated medical institutions have supported consumption.
Xinjiang, as one of the three pilot provinces for the national compact county medical community and the only pilot province in the west, will achieve full coverage of the compact county medical community within the year. As of the end of 2025, 79 counties (cities, districts) in Xinjiang have reached construction standards, accounting for 91.86%. As of the end of September 2026, 3,331 medical personnel have been stationed in county-level hospitals to promote the diagnosis and treatment of common and frequently-occurring diseases at the grassroots level.
