China Medical Robot Development Research Report: Technology has breakthrough challenges and opportunities coexist

With the continuous breakthrough and development of medical robot technology, since 2005, a number of key university research hospital units and research institutes have studied medical robot systems and achieved some small achievements. For example, Harbin Institute of Technology's minimally invasive abdominal surgery machine has been successfully Experts accepted the test, Tianjin University's hand robot began clinical use in March this year.

(1) Overall level: low overall level and low penetration rate

Medical robots are still in the stage of slow development of the overall level of technology in China, and there is a huge gap between them and developed countries, lacking the talents and technology to study medical robots. China has not yet formed a large-scale medical robots, medical robots Chinese online robot listed in addition to the Shanghai Industrial Co., Ltd. Silicon Levin's portable dental unit are small robot components, and functions of the portable dental unit simple, The price is low.

However, with the support of the state, China's medical robots have also made certain breakthroughs. In November 2013, the “mini-invasive abdominal surgery robot system” developed by Harbin Institute of Technology Robotics passed the acceptance of the national “863” program expert group. . The emergence of this surgical robot means that the import of Da Vinci surgical robot technology monopoly breaks, China will accelerate the development of domestic minimally invasive surgery robotic auxiliary surgical machine. In March 2014, the “S-hand” robot developed by Master Robotics Technology Group and Tianjin University was used for the first time to perform gastric perforation repair and appendectomy for 3 patients. At the same time, many universities and enterprises are also collaborating on the research and development of medical robots as a key project. Among them, the development of the assisted robotic system for gastroscope diagnosis and treatment is the subject of the 12th Five-Year National Science and Technology Support Program, which is led by Bosch, to solve the stomach. The problem of timely hemostasis in the treatment of intestinal diseases to enhance the innovation and industrialization of advanced medical equipment in China.

At present, the penetration rate and utilization rate of medical robots in China are low. According to the statistical report of the first quarter of 2014 of Intuition Surgery Company, only 25 Da Vinci robots have been installed in China, while Taiwan, South Korea and Japan have installed 20, 44 and 178 Da Vinci robots. According to the population data released by the World Bank in January 2014, the mainland population is 58 times, 27 times and 10 times that of Taiwan, South Korea and Japan. Although the current use rate and penetration rate of medical robots in China are low, it also reflects the huge market potential of medical robots in China. Many companies, such as Bosch and Xinsong Robots, have added strategic layouts for medical robot development in the company's product planning, while international companies have also expanded their production capacity for the Chinese market. For example, in 2013, Yaskawa expanded its capacity in a new plant in Changzhou, China, and plans to launch a rehabilitation robot for the Chinese market.

(2) China's medical robots have their rigid driving factors, and the market scale can reach 100 million.

Medical robots will be the frontier development direction of medical tools and means in China. The driving factors for their development are: the huge high-end technical needs for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, the social pressure of aging for the elderly and the nursing and the high-quality medical staff. Lack of supply and demand conflicts.

Medical robots have many technical advantages compared with traditional artificial techniques. They have the characteristics of refined and intelligent micro-invasiveness, which can diagnose symptoms more accurately, scientifically analyze pathology, reduce manual errors, and reduce the pain of patients during surgery. To speed up patient recovery. Medical robots must replace some traditional artificial techniques when China's economy continues to develop at a higher level.

At present, China has become one of the fastest-growing countries in the world. According to 2012 data, the number of elderly people over 60 years old in China will reach 149 million in the next five years, accounting for 11% of the total population, accounting for one-fifth of the world's total elderly population. China's demand for aged care in the foreseeable future. In addition, the total number of disabled people in China is huge. In 2013, it was equivalent to the total population of Germany, and the total demand for disabled robots and rehabilitation robots was large.
