Medical network - on October 21, in the global market share of medical robot, European and us companies, almost domestic entrepreneurial teams is mostly one or two people, this increases the risk of product research and development

Medical robots domestic enterprises from product scale a step closer.

"The nurses have shouted, robots are their idol, the nurse will take a photo with them." Recently, Ren Yuxiang in to the "first financial daily" reporter describes the newly developed robots a shenzhen enterprises in their hospital sensation, could not help but smile.

Ren Yuxiang is Peking University shenzhen hospital, a nurse. This year "11" before the holidays, the school and enterprise cooperation has developed two intravenous drug configuration machine was measured. The appearance of the nursing robot is not how "cool" cute, but volatile, careless use of the special configuration has strong tumor drugs will cause poisoning. Nearly a month, the nurses see the future could be freed them from the dangerous work of the robot is still excited.

At present, in the global market share of medical robot, European and us companies almost. At home, medical robot is still in the research and development or clinical trials, realize the scale of the case barely see. But in the past two years, the policy of the industry ushered in the spring, the enterprise is to enter the market.

The robot maker shenzhen bo for medical robot co., LTD., general manager of JinHaiYang told our reporter, "Peking University shenzhen hospital is our first pilot hospital, optimization, is still waiting for issue a feasibility report, plans to enter the market after two or three months."

Let the nurse free from danger

Used in the treatment of tumor chemotherapy drugs after volatile has very strong toxicity. Every time the nurses dispensed into the chamber, are armed to the teeth, put on a thick protective clothing, gloves, masks, and goggles, wrap body.

Even so, it is difficult to guarantee the human body and is completely isolated. Ren Yuxiang said: "is one in two or three hours or even half a day, because too dense, there is something urgent is not convenient." Because of concerns that chemotherapy drug toxicity, even spilled a little, will damage the skin, must be careful when dispensing.

"And these are all effective patients waiting for help, not a little error. Time is long, have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Sometimes after with the medicine bottle was thrown into the trash can, and picked it up and see if it matches correctly." Ren Yuxiang said.

From this point, the nurse error rate is almost zero, in addition to dispensing, in strict accordance with the proportion once there is an error, will automatically send alarm. Future, wait for robot after the formal operation in clinical, nurses will be liberated from the busy and trivial work, have more energy and time to take care of the patient.

JinHaiYang introduction, venous liquor robot while also need people to operate, but people are standing outside the closed equipment, and dispensing is automatically in the inside of the equipment. An average of one machine with a medication 2 ~ 3 minutes, a machine can match most 10 bottles of medicine, and one can operate 3 ~ 4 machine.

According to his understanding, the current domestic development with robot with four or five home, only one has entered the market, the other are in the stage of development.

Medical robots met with resistance

Medical robot is standing on the policy of the tuyere. In May 2015, the strategy of "made in China 2025", "vigorously promote the development of key areas breakthrough", referring to the ten areas including high-performance medical apparatus and instruments, including requirements focus on developing high performance diagnosis equipment such as medical robot.

At present, the classification of medical robot is not uniform, but a common rule of thirds is in addition to the above care robot, and surgical robot, rehabilitation robots, mobile robots, etc. Among them, the risk of surgery robot industry is the largest, in return, the most significant.

According to our reporter understanding, now use surgical robot is one of the most big hospital general surgery, brain surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology and obstereics orthopaedics. Among them, the "Da Vinci" used in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery were one of the most successful commercialization representative.

Since 20 years ago in the United States, "Da Vinci" after generations of change, now it is mainly used for heart surgery, urology, gynecologic minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, related to assist doctors see their structure and details of multidimensional movement is more stable, fine operation, small wound.

But leonardo Da Vinci and other high-end medical equipment in the domestic marketing is the biggest obstacle to the operation cost is high. East sea rich partner and medical health fund managers pei-jun wang told reporters: "the introduction of a set of leonardo Da Vinci surgical operation platform, at more than ten million yuan, a single operation supplies a set of 20000 ~ 40000 yuan."

He added: "in the industry generally bullish outlook of the surgical robot, the key is to effectively control cost can. At present, some enterprises at home and abroad of the solution is simple version of the surgical robot, the goal is to maintain the operation under the premise of quality, reduce manufacturing cost and price of the surgical robot, but also reduce the cost of consumables."

In addition to surgical robot, pei-jun wang also bullish on rehabilitation and nursing in areas such as automatic machines or robots.

Consistent with beautiful outlook, however, is always tortuous road. At present, the domestic hospitals are not willing to buy robot in the field of rehabilitation and nursing.

Beijing jishuitan hospital rehabilitation robots, for example, the Tian Wei "first financial daily" told reporters, rehabilitation of today's robots are hard to do, because of go to the hospital rehabilitation patients too little, patients are willing to buy the robot pays much. In addition, the national policy of rehabilitation projects pricing is not high, the hospital would not cast a lot of money into it.

Not only that, in shenzhen, southern medical university hospital orthopedic SangHongXun, director of the center point of view, these robots can only do some mechanical work, done work is limited, freedom and the depth and breadth of artificial intelligence is hard to compared to people. "And the robot just answer certain questions, asked if the patients with abnormal problem, it can't answer, also hard to humanistic care to patients."

"But there's little doubt that, medical robots represents a new direction." SangHongXun told our reporter.

Five years later can become investment tuyere

At present, the vast majority of medical robot domestic enterprises is still in the research and development or clinical trials, there is almost no case of industrialization of public. VCS are keeping a close eye on, haven't intensive.

Late last month, the tianjin university - weigao group medical robots shu-xin wang, director of the joint research center in shenzhen an academic BBS said, five years later, the investment boom of the industrial robot will slowly recede, instead of leaning to medical robot.

In fortune venture capital investment director Ren Jun care to tilt to expand the scope of service robots to the non-industrial robot. He told our reporter: "five years later, industrial robots will be relatively mature, so growth will suffer; investment boom will also fade, and then to find new areas."

There is also a vc that considering the difficulty of the research, it is still too short for five years.

Pei-jun wang told the "first financial daily" reporter: "for the development of medical robots need to clinicians, electronic engineers, materials engineers, mechanical engineers and other people cooperation. Many foreign entrepreneurs, a team may include clinical doctors and engineers in the field of multiple, mostly by the clinician needs and pain points is put forward, put forward by several engineers solution, after several rounds of modification and perfect and then gradually to finalize the design."

In recent years, he has been paying attention to the investment of surgical robot, in addition to domestic enterprises, also went to Israel and other countries understand the industry dynamic, look for possible investment opportunities. "Domestic entrepreneurial teams is mostly one or two people, interdisciplinary, interdisciplinary collaborative atmosphere is relatively lack of entrepreneurship." He added, "once fatal defects existing in the product design, for a startup is negative, this is the main concern of investors."
