"With the explosion of AI, the industry has ushered in the opportunities of the times." At the scene, a number of exhibitors said that this year's CMEF seized the opportunity of the era of AI explosion, focused on the deep integration of AI and medical health, and provided a platform for centralized display and in-depth discussion of intelligent new products, which is conducive to promoting the intelligent and precise development of the medical industry. It is reported that this year's CMEF has set up 22 theme exhibition areas such as medical imaging, in vitro diagnosis, medical electronics, medical optics, hospital construction, operating room, disinfection and infection control, medical consumables, and orthopedics. Well-known domestic and foreign companies such as United Imaging, GE, Siemens, Mindray, Philips, Xinhua, Neusoft, Wego, Yuyue, and Sinopharm Devices have brought cutting-edge technologies such as AI medicine, gene sequencing, cancer screening, surgical robots, 3D bioprinting, digital therapeutics, and brain-computer interfaces, as well as many new products, presenting a panoramic view of the new ecology of the entire medical industry chain.

In order to showcase the world's cutting-edge medical technology innovation achievements, CMEF is committed to building a "black technology incubator". Whether it is the disruptive technology of the industry giants or the "hidden champion" products of small and medium-sized enterprises, they can all show their style here, and every innovation can be seen by the world.

Zhang Yuming, director of the Medical and Health Big Data and Network Research Center (East China) of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, was quite emotional after visiting the robot exhibition area. He believes that at present, the development of medical robots is very rapid, and the innovation of many small and micro enterprises is also gratifying, whether it is interventional robots, orthopedic robots, etc., which have played an important role in clinical practice, increasing the safety and stability of surgery.

This year's CMEF closely follows the industrial policy and holds a series of sub-brand exhibitions in hot areas such as "medical device design and manufacturing", "smart health", "emergency rescue" and "pet health" at the same time, aiming to build a whole industry chain ecosystem covering the source to the terminal.

With the aging of the population, the global health care industry is ushering in unprecedented new opportunities for development. In response to the needs of the elderly, CRS China International Rehabilitation and Personal Health Expo, CECN China International Pension Welfare and Care Products Expo, and Life Care China International Household Medical Products Exhibition were held at the same time. Nearly 1,000 brand exhibitors brought new technologies, new products and new applications of the whole industry chain such as intelligent rehabilitation and elderly care, assistive devices, smart elderly care, home medical care, and traditional Chinese medicine health care to provide more convenient and efficient rehabilitation services. At present, the global pet economy is showing explosive growth. As the world's second largest pet market, China's market size will exceed 300 billion yuan in 2024, with an average annual growth rate of more than 20%. Among them, the scale of the pet medical market has reached 73.5 billion yuan, an increase of nearly 3.5 billion yuan year-on-year in 2023, and the overall market size still maintains an upward momentum.

In order to seize the new blue ocean of the market, this year's CMEF specially launched the AHC International Pet Health Exhibition. At the exhibition site, a number of cross-border pet medical products "debuted". CT designed for pets, sign monitors for animal characteristics, handheld therapeutic lasers that combine animal fur characteristics... All kinds of medical devices for pets are becoming more and more intelligent, personalized and comprehensive.
