Med-Engineering Convergence: Leveraging Original Technologies to Achieve the 0-to-1 Commercialization of Scientific and Technological Achievements


Beijing Xijian Technology Co., Ltd. builds upon more than a decade of research foundation in the characterization of human soft tissue mechanics from the Laboratory for Biomaterials and Soft Material Mechanics at Tsinghua University, dedicated to advancing the industrialization of innovative technologies in human biomechanical imaging and establishing a globally leading platform for mechanical imaging of human soft tissues.The company focuses on blue-ocean, high-demand markets in health sectors such as sports rehabilitation, aesthetic dermatology, and the diagnosis and treatment of major diseases. It provides the industry with world-leading biomechanical imaging equipment for human soft tissues (e.g., skeletal muscle, skin, tumors, blood vessels, and core organs) and co-builds an intervention ecosystem based on human biomechanical imaging.


To date, the company has two global innovative products undergoing medical device registration. In addition, its series of soft-material bionic phantoms has entered the commercialization stage. Notably, the world’s first portable integrated imaging system for skeletal muscle structure and mechanical properties enables in vivo quantitative assessment of both skeletal muscle structure and mechanical performance. It provides effective solutions to world-class challenges, including the strong anisotropy of tendons and muscles, the active stress levels of contracting muscles, and stress measurements in loaded tendons at the megapascal level. The system delivers stable and reliable measurement results, with significant application potential in digital orthopedics, digital rehabilitation, and professional sports.
