【Conference Details】

We can now see that digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing, and the Internet of Things are impacting various industries, with continuous technological innovation disrupting the healthcare sector.

With the introduction of the “Development Plan for New-Generation Artificial Intelligence” and the “Opinions on Promoting the Development of ‘Internet + Healthcare’,” capital has flooded into the sector, giving rise to numerous highly valued AI startups, while commercialization pathways continue to be explored;

The “Healthy China 2030” Planning Outline was released, and three major health and medical data groups were established. The explosive growth in data, driven by declining costs of data acquisition from gene sequencing and wearable devices, has laid the scale foundation for big data and AI analysis.

As the application of robots in China’s healthcare sector gains increasing acceptance and becomes more widespread across various stages of diagnosis and treatment, medical robots—particularly surgical robots—have emerged as “high-demand products” within the robotics industry. Robots are increasingly being deployed in hospitals, with domestic technologies steadily catching up with their foreign counterparts.

Medical 3D printing has entered a transition period from the primary to the intermediate stage. Applications such as dental restoration and customized prosthetics have already achieved commercialization and are developing rapidly. Orthopedics has become a key focus of market competition, attracting various enterprises to strategically position themselves. Breakthroughs have been made in organ and tissue experimentation, making human clinical applications promising.

In April this year, the National Health Commission released the "Standards and Specifications for Hospital Information Construction in China (Trial)," which clearly defined 21 application scenarios for IoT-based positioning and data monitoring. With the introduction of these standards, the direction of the IoT industry has become increasingly clear, and scenario-based applications are beginning to stand out.

In the genetics sector, tumor detection is poised for rapid growth, microbiomics is gradually maturing under policy guidance, and consumer genetic testing has entered the “20-yuan era.”

Technological innovation enterprises have begun to explore their own paths for application implementation, scaling from 1 to N...

The 2018 World Forum on Medical Technology, themed “Infinity,” will be held at the Le Méridien Shanghai Minhang Baolong Hotel from September 26 to September 27, 2018.

This forum will bring together domestic and international healthcare service providers, listed companies, financial institutions, and health-tech innovators centered on technological innovation. It will explore five key dimensions—policy, capital, data, technology, and commercialization pathways—focusing on the commercial applications of five major technologies (AI, big data, robotics, 3D printing, IoT, and genetic testing) within hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and third-party healthcare service providers. The event will feature eight core forums, discuss over 80 hot topics, and gather more than 80 industry leaders, 100+ investors, 300+ entrepreneurs, and 30+ media outlets in Shanghai to spark intellectual exchange and foster collaboration.

If you are a government official, healthcare practitioner, or industry professional focused on technological innovation in health and medical care—including executives from healthcare IT companies, medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical firms, and insurance companies; industry investors; healthcare media professionals; and leaders of listed or startup companies engaged in big data and AI-driven healthcare—this industry forum is tailor-made for “you.”
