Why Cardio-Cerebrovascular Startups Are Booming: Internet Healthcare Research Institute Steps In

On July 31, 2015, the Medical Imaging Special Session of the Internet Healthcare Ecosystem Review, hosted by VCBeat, was held in Beijing.

The conference attracted nearly 200 attendees, including representatives from more than 10 listed companies, over 20 startups, more than 30 industry organizations, and nearly 70 investment firms. Investment departments of listed companies and BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent), as well as pharmaceutical enterprises such as JD.com, Baidu, AliHealth, and Porton Pharma, have shown strong interest in the field of medical imaging. In addition to the six projects that participated in the roadshow, other attending startups also had opportunities to engage with investors.

Thus, a previously overlooked niche within internet healthcare—medical imaging—suddenly became the focal point of industry attention.

What does this tell us,

With the Internet,

Now, let us do something more meaningful together and show everyone how the Internet can truly help patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

First, let’s look at a few numbers!

Naturally, cardiovascular drugs are also the largest category of pharmaceutical products in the global market. In 2012, the market size for cardiovascular drugs in China was estimated by relevant authorities to be approximately RMB 120 billion. Such enormous costs are bound to become a heavy burden on China's development.

According to surveys, 17.5 million people died from cardiovascular diseases in 2012, accounting for 31% of global deaths. Among these deaths, an estimated 7.4 million were due to coronary heart disease and 6.7 million to stroke.

Furthermore,

Of the 16 million deaths among individuals under the age of 70 caused by noncommunicable diseases, 82% occurred in low- and middle-income countries, with 37% attributable to cardiovascular diseases.

Additionally, research firm MarketReportsChina predicts that China’s cardiovascular disease drug market will maintain a 20% growth rate between 2014 and 2018.

In other words,

We aim to convey through this study that,

We aim to convey through this study that,

Not only that, we will also leverage VCBeat’s domestic and international resources to conduct in-depth and meticulous research and analysis on it, much like we have done in the field of medical imaging.
