Explore Pathways Towards Forward-Thinking Medical Innovation

The summit featured two main sessions: "Digital Medical Innovations in Community" and "Ecosystem for Medical Innovations" where experts shared insights and engaged in discussions on a range of topics. Prof. LU Xiongwen, Dean of School of Management at Fudan University, delivered a plenary speech titled "Overview of Empowering Healthcare Enterprises through Management in China and Globally", where he mentioned: "The development of the health industry has enormous demand, and the entire sector is poised for significant growth. Whether in the field of cardiovascular health or the broader health industry, management empowerment is essential. From scientific and technical personnel to product development, and then to industrialization and marketization, the entire process requires management intervention to enable innovation and technological development through effective management. "

Prof. Bryan YAN, Head of Division of Cardiology (Academic Affairs) at the Faculty of Medicine of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, delivered a keynote speech on "Stroke Prevention with Innovation". Prof. Bryan YAN highlights innovative strategies, like AI modelling and ECG monitoring for early detection and intervention, that can lead to stroke prevention being greatly enhanced. " By establishing health monitoring systems and raising awareness of risk factors, the goal is to identify individuals at risk of stroke as soon as possible. Integrating these technological solutions can significantly improve prevention efforts, leading to better health outcomes and a lower incidence of strokes." Prof. Bryan YAN said.

In addition to serving as a platform for medical and university exchanges, the summit also arranged pitching sessions for different start-up incubated by COCHE to showcase their innovative medical technologies. Among them, Pyrocks Ultrasonics Company mainly produces an AI-Powered Ultrasound Patch for CVD Risk Assessment. This innovation can revolutionize the way people face and manage CVD by screening groups with varying levels of CVD risk, providing timely protection against CVD-related deaths.

The inaugural International Cerebro-cardiovascular Medical Innovation Summit (ICMIS) successfully brought together experts, scholars, and industry representatives from various fields to discuss cutting-edge medical topics and promote multi-party collaboration. The summit organizer, COCHE, has taken the lead in the path of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular medical innovation, establishing a partnership with the Board of Directors of Yan Chai Hospital in Hong Kong. Through COCHE's innovative medical technologies and products, health screening activities have been conducted in multiple communities across Hong Kong, enabling residents to become aware of potential health risks in a timely manner. COCHE believes that the future of the healthcare sector relies on interdisciplinary collaboration, and the successful execution of this summit is expected to contribute valuable insights and support for the development of cardiovascular health medicine.
