With the favorable policy wind, smart healthcare is entering a golden period of development

Recently, Chongqing Municipality released the "Innovative Development Action Plan for the Smart Medical Equipment Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Action Plan"), clearly stating that it will focus on fields such as artificial intelligence medical devices and build an industrial cluster with an output value of over 30 billion yuan.

The Action Plan emphasizes the principle of "equipping as much as possible", requiring medical institutions to give priority to equipping innovative products and promoting the accelerated admission of smart medical equipment through relevant mechanisms.

At the same time, a fast-track access channel for medical insurance will be established to pave a fast lane for the development of innovative smart medical equipment products such as artificial intelligence medical devices.

 

Deeply interpret the mechanism and gain insight into new market channels

There are two core mechanisms for the implementation of the policies in this "Action Plan".

One of them is the "Chongqing Smart Medical Equipment Innovation Product Catalogue" (hereinafter referred to as the "Innovation Product Catalogue").

The second one is the "Chongqing Smart Medical Equipment Innovation Product Online Procurement Zone" (hereinafter referred to as the "Online Procurement Zone").

The significance of these two core mechanisms far exceeds the superficial process optimization; they are actually the key drivers for reshaping the industrial ecosystem.

 

"Innovative Product Catalogue" : The "Golden Key" to Opening up Market Channels

Essentially, it is an official certification of the innovation capabilities of medical equipment. Products included in the directory need to undergo multi-dimensional evaluations such as technological advancement, clinical value, and safety, which is equivalent to obtaining a "quality label" endorsed by the government.

For enterprises, this not only enhances the credibility of their products but also directly connects with policy resource preferences - such as rapid access to medical insurance and green channels for price filing.
For medical institutions, the "Innovative Product Catalogue" simplifies the procurement decision-making process. By adhering to the principle of "providing as many as possible", they can give priority to configuring proven innovative technologies, thereby reducing the risks of selection and procurement.

Empower healthcare with innovation and facilitate the upgrade of precise diagnosis

Under the policy guidance, Chongqing Defang has made breakthroughs in core technologies. Its "Peripheral Blood Image Analysis System" and "Bone Marrow Image Analysis System" have been successfully included in the first batch of the "Innovative Product Catalogue", ranking among the top of the "Innovative Product" and "Superior Product" lists respectively.

Peripheral blood image analysis system: Based on AI morphological recognition technology, it can accurately classify 47 types of abnormal blood cells, providing high-precision support for the diagnosis of blood diseases.
Bone marrow image analysis system: Breaking through the limitations of traditional manual microscopic examination experience and the influence of subjective factors, it provides reliable diagnostic basis for complex cases and achieves efficient auxiliary diagnosis.

Deeply cultivate AI+ healthcare and drive technological innovation in the medical field

The policy window period has arrived, and the "hospital admission wave" of smart medical equipment is approaching. The release of policy dividends and the accelerated implementation of technological applications. Driven by both policy and technology, the smart medical equipment industry in Chongqing is embracing brand-new opportunities.

Chongqing Defang will take innovation as its driving force and work with industry partners to explore the intelligent future of morphological examination, continuously contributing technological strength to enhancing diagnosis and treatment efficiency and improving patient experience.
