The Haidian District Medical Insurance Bureau and Beijing Zhongguancun Hospital went to Tianzhihang and Beijing Medical Robot Industry Innovation Center to conduct research

On the morning of September 14, the Haidian District Medical Insurance Bureau and Beijing Zhongguancun Hospital went to Beijing Tianzhihang Medical Technology Co., Ltd. and Beijing Medical Robot Industry Innovation Center to conduct work research. Cao Yuming, Party Secretary and Director of the Haidian District Medical Insurance Bureau, Zhang Huazhen, Director of the Haidian District Medical Insurance Center and relevant department heads, Xu Yingli, Vice President of Beijing Zhongguancun Hospital, Wang Wen, Director of the Spine Minimally Invasive Department and relevant persons in charge, Zhang Songgen, Vice President of the Beijing Medical Insurance Association and Chairman of Beijing Tianzhihang Medical Technology Co., Ltd., and relevant company leaders participated in the research.

Favorable policies drive the medical robotics industry forward

On September 13, the Beijing Municipal Leading Group Meeting on Deepening Medical and Health System Reform was held, which clearly pointed out that it is necessary to "continue to improve medical services, strengthen scientific and technological empowerment, and promote the application of smart medical care". In order to further accurately promote the "three new" clinical applications of new products, new technologies, and new services, and effectively solve the actual difficulties of enterprises, we will learn from the experience of the Aerospace Center Hospital in introducing orthopedic surgical robots, and promote the designated medical institutions in the jurisdiction above the second level that perform orthopedic surgery to carry out innovative practice activities.

On July 21, witnessed by Deputy District Mayor Lin Hang, the "Haidian District Big Health Government-Enterprise Collaborative Innovation Platform" jointly established by the Haidian District Medical Insurance Bureau, Zhongguancun Science City Management Committee, District Federation of Industry and Commerce, District Health Commission, District Market Bureau and other departments was officially launched. The platform gave full play to the government's role in promoting and coordinating. On the second day of its official launch, Beijing Tianzhihang Medical Technology Co., Ltd. was included in the Big Health Committee.

On July 14, Comrade Ma Jiye, Party Secretary and Director of Beijing Municipal Medical Insurance Bureau, led a team to Beijing Tianzhihang Medical Technology Co., Ltd. to conduct research, emphasizing that serving enterprises should take a step forward, lay a solid foundation and provide good services for the promotion of technological innovation in Beijing. In August 2021, Beijing officially included the "Robotic Assisted Orthopedic Surgery" project in the government pricing category, and provided medical insurance payment at the same time, which greatly reduced the medical expenses and burden of patients.

The empowerment platform research team put forward integration opinions

Beijing Medical Robot Industry Innovation Center is the first medical robot technology and industry collaborative innovation platform established under the guidance of the government in China. It is oriented to the field of high-end medical devices, deeply explores clinical needs, carries out technological innovation, and has formed national policy planning support and scientific research task acceptance capabilities and continuous output advantages. The Innovation Center is committed to becoming a trusted partner of the industry, creating a first-class industrial innovation platform, with a complete medical-engineering collaborative mechanism and product transformation path, building an industry-university-research-application transformation chain, and providing CDMO (contract research and development) and innovation empowerment services for high-end medical device companies, scientific research institutes and medical institutions.

At the Beijing Medical Robot Industry Innovation Center, relevant persons in charge introduced the soft tissue robots, nursing and rehabilitation assistance robots and other products incubated by the Beijing Medical Robot Technology Innovation Center. The research team gained an in-depth understanding of the construction and development of projects such as the "High-end Medical Equipment CDMO" project and the Dimensity II orthopedic surgical robot, and put forward specific suggestions for data integration for a series of quantitative indicators such as the number of robotic surgeries, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, shortened hospital stays, and optimization of cost structure.

In-depth exchanges at the government-industry-university-research-medical symposium

At the symposium, Beijing Tianzhihang Medical Technology Co., Ltd. introduced the overall plan for the production, application and development of innovative medical devices, and gave a detailed report on the difficulties currently faced by the company.

Beijing Zhongguancun Hospital learned in detail about the practicality and cost-effectiveness of surgical robots, and put forward specific suggestions on intelligent surgical planning and autonomous surgical operations in light of the hospital's orthopedic specialty development needs. The three parties of "government, enterprise and medical" had a full exchange of views on innovative medical technologies and smart medical insurance construction.

Director Cao Yuming pointed out that this investigation further promoted the interaction between "government, industry, academia, research and medicine", broke down information barriers, opened up resource bridges, promoted the connection between the "Pharmaceutical and Health Industry Government-Enterprise Collaborative Innovation Platform" and medical institutions, and took the actual solution of corporate difficulties as the starting point and end point.

Regarding the "government-enterprise cooperation" with the Beijing Medical Robot Industry Innovation Center, Director Cao Yuming emphasized:

Vigorously promote scientific and technological innovation

Focusing on the professionalism, diversity, and technological advantages of the development of Beijing Medical Robot Industry Innovation Center, and paying attention to data integration, with the goal of further reducing the burden on patients and creating a 15-minute medical insurance "health consortium", we explore a new model of smart medical insurance services that is compatible and integrated with medical technology and medical insurance settlement.

Continue to deepen medical reform

Focusing on deepening medical reform at the national, municipal and district levels, learning from the medical reform experience of Sanming City, Fujian Province, and further highlighting the construction of scientific research hospitals and the development of remote medical treatment, we will lay a solid clinical and disciplinary foundation for the interconnection of medical insurance information systems and real-time settlement of medical treatment in other places for future remote surgery.

Closely carry out the linkage between the three medical systems

By selecting pilot medical institutions to build clinical trial bases for medical insurance and the big health industry, and leveraging the advantageous medical resources in the jurisdiction, we can achieve precise matching of corporate products, clinical applications, and patient needs, thereby deepening the interactive integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation in the medical insurance field, and covering the big health industry throughout its life cycle.

As a high-tech enterprise driven by R&D, Tianzhihang has been constantly exploring and innovating to bring a more comfortable experience to orthopedic surgeons and patients with more complete and intelligent products. In the future, Tianzhihang will continue to deepen its presence in the surgical robot market, actively respond to national policies, practice "government, industry, academia, research and medicine", and contribute to the economic development of the capital and the Healthy China strategy!
