Expert Profile: Literary Army, Academician of the American Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering
Wen Wenjun, an academician of the American Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering, came to Rizhao for the first time and had a deep impression of Rizhao. I think Rizhao is a very good tourist health resort.
"Health care has become a very important industry because of the arrival of an aging society, and Rizhao has unique advantages in the development of the health care industry. For the development of Rizhao's health care industry, Wen Wenjun believes that "Rizhao, as a northern city, focuses on the elderly groups served by the health care industry, if it can unite with cities like Sanya in the south to do health care in different seasons and in different cities, winter to the south, spring, summer and autumn to Rizhao, the whole country is also a good pension model, can be built into a national health care industry system." ”
At the same time, Wen Wenjun has high hopes for the future development of Rizhao's health care industry, he said: "A national-level rehabilitation university was established in Qingdao, Shandong, and the scientific research and industrialization of health care can be linked with Rizhao. In 2020, we established the Shandong Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Technology Innovation Center in Jinan, which can cooperate with the whole province and work together in the development of new technologies such as rehabilitation and elderly care, so as to achieve the progress and development of the entire health care industry. ”
Although it was the first time to come to Rizhao, the Literary Army fully felt the enthusiasm of Rizhao. "Let me think that Rizhao can become a good R&D and industrialization base in the future, and our team will also strive to communicate more with Rizhao, build some R&D and industrialization research institutes, research centers and other platforms in Rizhao, and do some development and promotion of industrialization technologies in health care." Literary Army said.
In 2020, Rizhao City held the 9th International Conference on Rehabilitation Medicine and the 6th International Conference on Clinical Transformation of Frontier Technologies of Rehabilitation Medicine and Rehabilitation Engineering, which allowed Rizhao to have more enterprises and technology development in the health care industry. Therefore, Wen Wenjun also suggested: "In the future, more scientific research industry conferences can be held in Rizhao, which will promote the development of Rizhao's rehabilitation industry and promote the development of rehabilitation alliances and rehabilitation industries." ”

"Rizhao is a pearl on the coast of the Yellow Sea, which is ecologically livable and has a superior location, which is very suitable for the development of rehabilitation and elderly care industry. On the morning of December 16, at the 2023 Rehabilitation Medicine and Engineering Conference and the Clinical Transformation Conference of Cutting-edge Technologies of Rehabilitation Medicine and Rehabilitation Engineering, Professor Wang Jinwu, Executive Chairman of the Conference and Chief Physician of the Department of Orthopedics of the Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was interviewed by the media.
Rizhao has obvious advantages in the development of rehabilitation medical industry
"Rizhao is a city that is associated with rehabilitation medicine and rehabilitation engineering. The reason why the conference was chosen to be held in Rizhao is that Rizhao has high-quality conditions for the development of the rehabilitation medical industry.
"Rizhao has held rehabilitation medicine engineering conferences more than once. Wang Jinwu said that as a professional, through exchanges with the local industry, medical and rehabilitation circles in Rizhao, he found that there are favorable conditions for the landing of the rehabilitation medical device industry. The Rizhao Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government attach great importance to the development of the life and health industry, which also provides a very good fit for digital technology, artificial intelligence and 3D printing to empower the traditional rehabilitation medical device industry.
Digital empowerment of the rehabilitation medical industry, Rizhao is expected to "overtake in corners"
Wang Jinwu said that usually scientific research clusters and industrial clusters, with an interval of two to three hours by car, is more appropriate, and in the era of high-speed rail, Rizhao is far away from universities, hospitals and other research institutes, such as Beijing, Shanghai and other large cities, high-speed rail travel time is getting shorter and shorter, which has gradually become a favorable condition for industrial transformation and transfer.
"New technologies such as digital technology, artificial intelligence, and 3D printing empower traditional industries, especially the rehabilitation medical device industry, which will be an opportunity for us to transform the entire industry in Rizhao and overtake in corners. ”
The traditional rehabilitation medical device industry has low added value. Wang Jinwu introduced, the mainland's rehabilitation medical device industry compared with international development, has been "following", after a period of efforts, has reached the "run", and the next mainland rehabilitation medical device industry to begin to achieve "supercar", with new technology to empower the traditional rehabilitation medical device industry, at this node to choose to land in Rizhao, will be Rizhao to achieve a good time window to achieve the curve surpassing.
The National Rehabilitation University is located in Qingdao, and Rizhao is a hub city of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, which has the ability to transfer and empower the industry, and will be a gathering place for the rehabilitation assistive devices industry and a landing area for innovative research and development in the future. Wang Jinwu said that he believes that with the joint efforts of the government, surrounding universities and industries, Rizhao will be built into a city where the rehabilitation medical device industry and digital technology are integrated.
Take the initiative to seize the opportunity and respond to the systematic layout of Rizhao
"Rizhao should be systematically laid out from the landing of the park, to personnel training, to the integration of industries. Wang Jinwu explained that there are about 10,000 kinds of products around the rehabilitation assistive devices related industries. In the past, only 1,000-2,000 kinds of Chinese market could be produced, but at present, with the empowerment of digital technology, artificial intelligence and 3D printing, it is believed that more intelligent rehabilitation assistive device products will be landed.
When it comes to the intention of cooperation with Rizhao in the future, Wang Jinwu said that as a doctoral supervisor and medical professor of Shanghai universities, he will gather the strength of major medical universities in Shanghai and the Shanghai Rehabilitation Alliance to introduce some scientific research products of digital medicine and smart rehabilitation with high maturity to Rizhao, and strive to promote the deep integration with the local industry in Rizhao. "I hope that some of our excellent rehabilitation medical device research products can be located in the industrial park of Rizhao in this digital era and truly benefit the society. ”

Expert profile: Fu Daxu, President and Deputy Secretary of Shanghai Institute of Biomedical Technology
This trip to Rizhao is the second time Fu Daxu has met Rizhao. "The change of sunshine can be said to be a rapid growth. ”
Throughout the development of Rizhao City's industrial economy, "biomedicine" is an unavoidable keyword. As the president of the Shanghai Institute of Biomedical Technology, Fu Daxu said frankly that Rizhao, which is surrounded by mountains and seas, has very good natural resources. "For example, the forest coverage rate and mineral water resources of Wulian Mountain Scenic Area have given Rizhao life and health industry and medical care industry unique geographical conditions. ”
"The good mountains and rivers have brought good prospects for the future development of the Rizhao health care industry. Fu Daxu said.
In recent years, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have attached great importance to the development of the life and health industry, relying on the advantages of abundant ecological resources and convenient transportation location, and in 2022, Rizhao City issued the "Implementation Opinions on the Implementation of the "Chain Length System" of Key Industrial Chains", taking the life and health industry chain as one of the ten key industrial chains and focusing on development and cultivation. Rizhao has taken a solid step in exploring and carrying out a variety of medical and health service models such as "medical care", "medical care in care", "integration of two hospitals" and "medical care". It has developed new projects such as traditional Chinese medicine health management and traditional Chinese medicine cultural experience, and built a diversified development model of the life and health industry.
Talking about Rizhao's exploration in the field of life and health industry, Fu Daxu said that in the context of the rapid rise of the life and health industry chain, a large number of basic industries are needed as the basis for the processing and manufacturing of the life and health industry. Rizhao Lingang is involved in the sea, and Shandong Iron and Steel, Rizhao Iron and Steel and other heavy industries have strong foundations. There are the first batch of traditional Chinese medicine health tourism demonstration zones in the country, a national high-quality Chinese herbal medicine production base, and the only biochemical professional park in the province. In the future, Rizhao City will have significant advantages in the development of the life and health industry chain.
"With the establishment of a number of rehabilitation hospitals and rehabilitation schools in Rizhao, it can not only promote the development of the local life and health industry, but also promote the development of Rizhao's tourism, employment, economy and other aspects. Fu Daxu said.
The convening of this conference will promote the application of more new technologies in Rizhao, let more relevant enterprises at home and abroad understand Rizhao, and consider flowering in Rizhao, so that Rizhao can continue to be the "trendsetter" of the times in the "blue ocean" of the life and health industry, create a domestic benchmark of "Rizhao health care", enhance its influence and radiation, and let the east wind of Rizhao's life and health industry sail to the new "blue ocean" of life and health.
