On the 18th, the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University and the Cofoe Medical Technology Co.Ltd(301087) joint scientific and technological innovation center were inaugurated.
The medical and health security of China’s 1.4 billion people is a major national strategy, and medical devices are the key support and reliance for disease diagnosis and treatment. In recent years, with the rapid growth of population aging and the improvement of people’s living standards, China’s medical device industry has developed rapidly. However, in the field of high-end medical devices, there is a large gap between China’s overall technical level and foreign imported products, and the market has been monopolized by international giants for a long time. In August 2021, Hunan Provincial People’s government issued the “14th five year plan” for healthy Hunan, which proposed to vigorously develop high-performance medical devices and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of medical devices; Promote collaborative innovation in science and health, support public hospitals to jointly establish R & D institutions and scientific and technological achievements transfer and transformation centers with key pharmaceutical enterprises and biomedical high-tech industrial parks, focus on the “neck” key core technologies, and accelerate the breakthrough of core technologies in key fields such as medical equipment and biomedicine.
“This cooperation not only meets the major national needs and meets the high-quality development needs of public hospitals, but also creates a new mode of hospital enterprise cooperation and injects new momentum into the development of hospitals.” Li Zhihong, vice president of Central South University and President of the Second Xiangya Hospital, said.
According to reports, three innovative projects have been carried out in the first phase of this cooperation, namely, the application research and development project of pressure sensing intelligent chest and back correction instrument based on machine learning, the application research and development project of ultrasonic treatment instrument for musculoskeletal system diseases integrating mechanical and physical and chemical effects, and the application research and development project of intelligent dry eye fatigue assessment and benefit system. Relying on the technical and talent advantages of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, as well as the resource and industrial advantages of Cofoe Medical Technology Co.Ltd(301087) , the joint scientific and technological innovation center will set up a special R & D Fund for the science and innovation center to recruit R & D projects in the form of ranking first, jointly cultivate and incubate more excellent medical device projects, and promote joint research projects, medical device R & D and achievement transformation, Let the scientific research achievements not only meet the industrial and clinical needs, but also be quickly promoted in enterprises.
“We look forward to establishing a joint scientific and technological innovation center with the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University today, connecting the world’s leading scientific research theory and clinical trial platform, designing and developing more Innovation Medical Management Co.Ltd(002173) device products with international competitiveness, and making positive efforts for the development of medical industry in Hunan Province and healthy China.” Zhang Min, chairman of Cofoe Medical Technology Co.Ltd(301087) said. It is reported that Cofoe Medical Technology Co.Ltd(301087) has been listed on the national list of “specialized and special new” little giants. In recent years, Cofoe Medical Technology Co.Ltd(301087) has continuously increased R & D investment and scientific research innovation, arranged cutting-edge technology research, and realized the innovation and breakthrough of core technology.
