China News Service, Hangzhou, September 27 (Zhang Yuhuan) During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the Hangzhou Convention and Exhibition Center is undoubtedly one of the busiest places in the city. The Fifth Global Digital Trade Expo (referred to as the Digital Trade Fair) was held here. As the only national-level international professional exhibition with the theme of digital trade in China, the Digital Trade Fair has established a multi-level global dialogue venue.
The brain wave curve rises and falls slowly on the screen, the exoskeleton joints gently flex and extend according to the gait, and the AI tongue diagnosis equipment outputs a traditional Chinese medicine physical assessment report in tens of seconds... From cell microscopy and cardiac ablation to brain-computer interaction, digital traditional Chinese medicine, and domestic beauty cosmetics, medical giants at home and abroad and local technology innovation companies are on the same stage. All parties are looking at each other, pushing the big health industry to evolve towards a proactive and precise new paradigm.
Through this window, people can find that Chinese innovation is seen by the world, global innovation is seen by China, and cutting-edge technology is seen by ordinary people. The three kinds of "seeing" progress layer by layer and are intertwined into a network of interconnection, exchange and mutual learning.
Local science and technology innovation debuts: Chinese technology faces global merchants
Entering the digital medical exhibition area, Chengtian Technology's booth attracted many international buyers and visitors to stop and watch. Many spectators lined up to try on the lightweight exoskeleton, simulate walking up and down stairs, and experience the life changes brought about by "technological armor".
"The power-assisted exoskeleton is lighter than expected. It makes walking much easier after wearing it, especially going up stairs. As you can imagine, climbing mountains with it on is like walking on flat ground." An elderly audience member said after experiencing it.
"In our view, the value of exoskeleton technology lies not only in the breakthrough of a single product, but also in empowering multiple scenarios with platform capabilities. We hope that through the international window of the Digital Trade Fair, global partners can see the ability of China's exoskeleton technology to be implemented in all scenarios such as medical rehabilitation, life assistance, and industrial burden reduction," said Wang Tian, founder and CEO of Chengtian Technology.
The biomedical track is also a hot spot at the exhibition. At the scene, the AI AutoVision karyotype image-assisted diagnosis software exhibited by Deshi Technology attracted the attention of the industry. It uses AI to automatically complete chromosome cutting, arrangement and abnormality prompts, alleviating the problems of low efficiency and cumbersome operations of traditional manual reading, and shortening the single sample analysis cycle from the traditional approximately 30 days to as fast as 4 to 7 days.
The boundaries of innovation extend to interdisciplinary technology transfer. Entering the Silk Road e-commerce exhibition area, the booth of domestic beauty brand Hua Xizi was very popular.
"This time we have brought a multi-dimensional holographic AI sensory behavior research system, equipped with medical and neuroscience-level black technology - multi-modal 'real-time sensory decoding' technology, which can simultaneously collect sensory data such as brain waves, eye movement trajectories, micro-expressions, etc., to achieve 'second-level' results, and provide accurate data support for product research and development." said Zeng Min, general manager of public affairs of Huaxizi's parent company, Yige Beauty Group.
The Digital Trade Fair is a window for the public to get in touch with future technology, and it also shows the outside world China's imagination of cross-field scientific and technological innovation.
Implementation of global solutions: cutting-edge technology docking with Chinese clinical practice
Displaying on the same stage is not a one-way output of results. Overseas medical companies bring top technologies to the digital trade fair, bringing mature global innovations to China, looking for local clinical scenarios and industry partners, completing local adaptation of technology in the docking of supply and demand, and realizing two-way flow of global medical resources.
The “treasure of the museum” in the Digital Intelligence Medical Exhibition Area is the Medtronic Affera three-dimensional mapping and ablation integrated system. This set of equipment can complete heart disease focus positioning, ablation treatment, and efficacy verification in one stop, improving the efficiency and accuracy of minimally invasive cardiac surgery.
At the finals of the Global Brain-Computer Interface × Medical Insurance Innovation Scenario Competition held during the China Digital Trade Fair, the Medtronic Percept implantable adaptive deep brain neurostimulation system project won the "Frontier Technology Breakthrough Award". The system automatically identifies advantageous treatment contacts, collects and analyzes EEG signals in real time, and dynamically adjusts treatment parameters according to real-time disease status, building a complete closed loop of "perception-analysis-feedback-regulation", aiming to provide individualized and adaptive diagnosis and treatment solutions for patients with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia and epilepsy.
"The Digital Trade Fair is not only an important window to showcase the achievements of global digital trade, but also a high-level platform to promote cross-border cooperation and ecological co-construction of digital and smart medical care." Deng Jian, Vice President of Business Operations Services of Medtronic Greater China, said that relying on "China Strategy 3.0", the company continues to promote global innovation resources to connect with China's clinical needs, and collaborates with local partners to explore AI medical implementation paths, so that global cutting-edge therapies can serve Chinese patients.
AstraZeneca also brings full-cycle digital medical solutions for tumors, respiratory and metabolic diseases, AR lung function testing, MMC metabolic management center and other products, extending chronic disease management scenarios from the hospital to the home. Global cutting-edge technologies are implemented and exchanged here, calibrated with local industrial chains and clinical needs, creating a new space for cooperation.
Technology goes out of the laboratory: cutting-edge health technology faces the public experience
Healthy innovation dialogue does not only occur between companies, experts, and multinational merchants. The exhibition breaks the professional barriers of cutting-edge technology, delivers the next generation of health technology to ordinary audiences for personal experience, and extends the industrial transformation from industry papers and prototype research and development to the daily health picture of ordinary people.
The active health section is a large experience field for the public. Entering the booth of Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, visitors lined up to experience the 120-second AI tongue diagnosis and pulse diagnosis screening. Relying on the large vertical model of traditional Chinese medicine and massive clinical data, the equipment can quickly complete physical identification. In addition to massage robots and full life cycle health management systems that can be used in clinical settings, the hospital also exhibits daily traditional Chinese medicine products such as black plum soup tea, traditional Chinese medicine sachets, and medicated mooncakes, promoting the integration of traditional Chinese medicine into daily life through digital means.
At the scene, moxibustion robots, AI body constitution analyzers, etc. were also popular among the audience, allowing digital Chinese medicine to escape from medical institutions and become a health tool within reach of ordinary people.
Merchants explore business opportunities, clinical practitioners evaluate the value of technology, and ordinary people intuitively feel that technology changes healthy lives... Industrial technology exploration and ordinary people's expectations for healthy lives complete a face-to-face dialogue here, and the experiences and feedback of different groups in turn provide references from real scenarios for technology iteration and product polishing.
The global dialogue field established by the Digital Trade Fair allows people from different countries, different identities, and different ages to meet here. In the process of seeing each other's innovations, they can jointly find more future possibilities for big health.
