For an Intelli-Digital Future: A Glimpse into Mindray's Transformative Solutions at CMEF & ICEF 2024
2024-04-15
The 89th China International Medical Equipment Fair (CMEF) concluded perfectly on April 14th, after a four-day run. With the theme "For an Intelli-Digital Future," Mindray showcased the AI innovations, hospital-wide IT solutions, and core medical equipment at this year's CMEF.
Currently, the medical needs around the world are growing, and a new wave of AI revolution is sweeping through various industries, bringing more imagination to the transformation of the healthcare sector. Mindray believes that Intelli-Digital transformation is the key to meeting the demands of healthcare. Focusing on core clinical innovations, enhancing operational efficiency, advancing health equity, empowering talent and academic development, and fostering human-centered healthcare, Mindray's Intelli-Digital transformation is multifaceted. Through a multidimensional deployment of "equipment + IT + AI," Mindray presented a grand exhibition of medical Intelli-Digitalization to the attendees.
During the event, the 5th International Clinical Engineer Forum (ICEF) was held on April 12th themed with "Insight into CE, Innovation for the Future", and gathered biomedical engineers from around the globe. After years of development, ICEF has become an internationally influential event in the clinical engineering community. At the opening ceremony, with nearly a hundred biomedical engineers, the "Global STAR CE-BNE Development: Expert Opinion" project was officially launched. The experts will provide suggestions for the development of biomedical engineering departments worldwide, integrating global wisdom and sharing cutting-edge construction experience.
Against the backdrop of increasing global health needs and a shortage of high-quality medical resources, experts shared their insights at the forum: on one hand, rapid technological development will lead to the transformation of the biomedical engineering industry and the entire healthcare sector, on the other, as the industry undergoes transformation, the interdisciplinary field of clinical engineering requires even stronger global communication and collaborative innovation.
During the presentation of Stuart Eccles, Head of the Clinical Engineering Department at the Countess of Chester Hospital on "Optimizing the Comprehensive Lifecycle Costs of Medical Devices".
Eccles pointed out that the cost of medical equipment is not just the price of the equipment itself but spans the entire lifecycle of the device. In fact, "the costs of maintaining and managing equipment far exceed the purchase price.
Estimates show that in the life-cycle costs of medical equipment, the purchase cost accounts for 10%-40%, while the cumulative costs of subsequent use, maintenance, and disposal can account for 60%-90% of the total costs. As cost reduction and efficiency enhancement become common needs for medical institutions worldwide, how can we get the "luxury sports car" on to the road and drive the hospital to "speed up"?
At this ICEF, Mindray presented its own answer: leading the value upgrade of biomedical engineering through Intelli-Digital innovation and comprehensively promoting cost reduction and efficiency enhancement in hospitals.
With over three decades of industry experience, Mindray's Intelli-Digital solutions not only aim to support frontline clinical work but also bring unique value to biomedical engineers in terms of "cost reduction," "efficiency enhancement," "promoting standardized diagnosis and treatment," and "improving patient and doctor satisfaction," thus facilitating cost reduction and efficiency enhancement in hospitals.
Looking to the future, Mindray will join explorers in breaking through key innovations, reformers in solving systemic management challenges, and caregivers in spreading more accessible healthcare. Together with partners from all sides, we will move towards a more efficient, safer, warm, and sustainable Intelli-Digital healthcare future.
