It was all about digitalisation in this hybrid seminar, hosted by German Centre Beijing. Digitalisation is changing the MedTech landscape in China. It is empowering patients, leading to a more patient-centric approach. Digital health apps and platforms enable patients to access health information, book appointments, and order medications online. The collection and analysis of healthcare data have become more sophisticated. AI and machine learning are transforming various aspects of the MedTech landscape in China. The use of digital technology has led to the rapid growth of telemedicine services in China.<\/p>\n
Companies are offering more and more digital and intelligent solutions to profit from significant opportunities in the Chinese market. William Zhang and Matthias Kittler introduced how PwC China and Ottobock are digitising their products and processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>

A great example of fast industry growth are MIS technologies. Surgery tends to be more and more minimally invasive, and the market scale of MIS instruments is constantly expanding. B. Braun is following an integrated approach to remain a leading MIS provider in a more competitive market environment. Key success factors are not only latest technologies and highly innovative products, but much more: Deng shared great examples of best practice strategies such as launch excellence<\/strong>, brand exposure<\/strong> in various communities, KOLs advocation<\/strong>, or the development of education platforms<\/strong> like the Digital Aesculap Academy China<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
