Announcement 

Medtronic, a popular medical technology leader, will inaugurate its first-ever digital healthcare innovation hub in Beijing, China. The hub is engineered to deliver an excellent ecosystem for testing and establishing the AI-fueled, data-oriented healthcare solutions aligned to China’s emerging medical needs. The new creative hub will focus on major areas involving minimally invasive surgery, neurological disorders and cardiovascular care. Following it, it might partner with startups, research institutes and hospitals to co-create and bolster the localised healthcare technologies.

Digital healthcare innovation hub promoting health tech

This new hub will unify advanced technologies like big data analytics, cloud computing, internet of medical things (IoMT) and artificial intelligence to enhance treatment planning, patient outcomes and diagnostics. Additionally, the hub will also involve a digital patient-care centre embedded with telehealth tools and real-time monitoring. This will allow clinicians to map recovery status remotely and communicate there and then in a critical situation. This is a new development promoting a health-tech approach and supporting the health-tech companies as well.

The technological advancement plays a major role in deploying any of the digital tools to emphasise innovation better within the healthcare sector. China had one more feather added to the healthcare innovation. The compilation from AI to telehealth tools has marked Medtronic's seriousness and dedication towards the global healthcare market. The integration of advanced technologies will pave new developments in the healthcare tools and technology sector.

With this hub, Medtronic will take a step ahead to establish patient-centred smart healthcare models. These models are expected to improve Chinese medical practices, serve intelligent, efficient and personalised treatment solutions. At the proven stage, this all will sound worth it and help Medtronic to position its excellence among the best examples of innovation.

The senior vice president of Medtronic Global and president of Greater China, Yu Sean Gu, said, “The development of Medtronic’s digital healthcare innovation base marks a major step in the company's strong alliance with the improvement of its local value chain layout and the Chinese market. It elaborates our unbreakable confidence in China to lead as the largest healthcare market globally and will be known as an important source of innovation. We’re looking forward to accelerating Beijing’s emerging innovative momentum and medical resources. Further seeking accurate partnership opportunities to establish a greater number of digital healthcare innovation models and together redefine the future landscape of healthcare.”
