Forum on Clinical Application of Interdisciplinary Medical Device Technologies: Integrating Medical Innovation, Building a Healthy Future

In recent years, China’s medical device market has experienced rapid growth. The market size is estimated to have reached RMB 958.2 billion in 2022, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 17.5% over the past seven years, propelling China to become the world’s second-largest market after the United States. The Chinese medical device industry is expected to maintain this high-growth trajectory, with the market size projected to reach RMB 1.2447 trillion by 2025. However, there remains a significant gap between China and developed countries in terms of industrial capability and innovation capacity, necessitating continuous breakthroughs in key technological challenges. Achieving rapid development in the medical device sector hinges on the construction of an innovative ecosystem that encourages active participation from universities, enterprises, research institutions, and healthcare providers. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between medicine and engineering, this approach promotes deep integration among production, education, research, and clinical application, thereby providing the essential technological reserves and innovative vitality required for industrial advancement.

The 7th Future Healthcare 100 Conference, in collaboration with Proxima Ventures, jointly hosted the Forum on Clinical Applications of Interdisciplinary Technologies in Medical Devices. Focusing on hot topics such as industry trends, innovative applications, and interdisciplinary collaboration, the forum provided effective support for technological innovation in the medical device sector, thereby facilitating resource and technology sharing, promoting new breakthroughs in medical device technologies, and creating new value.

2023 Future Healthcare Top 100 Conference, hosted by VB100, VCBeat, and Eggshell Research Institute, with strategic partnership support from Shanghai Zhangjiang Group, will be grandly held at the Shanghai Zhangjiang Science Hall from May 5–7, 2023. Led by Academician Robert Langer and IEEE scientists, nearly 500 industry leaders will convene for three main forums and 31 hot-topic sessions!
