Nanchang University Institute of High-End Medical Device Innovation

Introduction

Relying on the university's "Double First-Class" discipline advantages and the characteristics of medical-engineering integration, the Nanchang University Institute of High-End Medical Device Innovation takes the approved national-level platforms such as the "Ministry of Education Engineering Research Center for Cardiovascular Interventional Therapy and Device Research" and the "National Clinical Research Center for Cardiovascular Diseases Branch" as the core support. It has built a full-chain innovation system of "technological breakthrough - clinical verification - achievement transformation" and is an important force in medical-engineering integration innovation in China. The institute integrates high-quality resources from multiple fields including mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, artificial intelligence, and clinical medicine, focusing on key areas such as non-contact monitoring, intelligent diagnosis and treatment, rehabilitation nursing, in vitro diagnosis, and health management, and has overcome many industry difficulties. Giving play to the advantages of directly affiliated hospitals, it has established a "doctor + engineer" joint research and verification mechanism to ensure that all R&D products accurately match clinical actual needs.
