Wei Kang is also happy to see overseas encephalopathy patients flocking to China for treatment.
You can't hide this from him. Just look at the monthly sales data and it will be clear.
Originally, he was prepared to completely lose the overseas market.
Unexpectedly, domestic and foreign capital actually united to find new ways to open up new tracks and send him money.
Sure enough, when it comes to wielding a sickle and harvesting patients, capital never lags behind others.
For Sanqing, this can be regarded as a loss and a gain in the east.
However, Weikang's requirements are not high. We don't expect much overseas sales of this new drug. As long as we can continue to make money from overseas patients and subsidize domestic patients, it will be fine.
Moreover, domestic capital also gets a share of this cake, which also drives the development of the domestic private medical market.
Overall, it is a win-win situation.
Wei Kang was filled with emotion while looking at the sales report in the office.
Suddenly, there was a ding and a work report email from Lu Tingfeng was received.
It turns out that less than half a year later, the preliminary cooperation between Sanqing Medical Equipment Division and the Space Center has produced results.
By equipping astronauts with smart watches and conducting 24-hour ECG monitoring, the two parties have clearly studied the impact of environmental factors on the space station on ECG function, and have a reliable parameter that can be compared with the situation on the ground.
After the AI diagnostic technology updates relevant parameters, it can now monitor the physical condition of astronauts in real time and perform diagnosis with an accuracy of over 90%.
Such a result undoubtedly surprised the space center. They lamented that seeking cooperation with Sanqing was indeed the most correct thing they had ever done.
At the same time, Fang Heng, who was in charge of the project at the space center, also called Wei Kang again.
"Mr. Wei, on behalf of all my colleagues at the space center, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
Wei Kang still behaved low-key and modestly: "You're welcome, this is scientific research cooperation, we just did what we should do."
"Haha, in that case, can we start the next stage of cooperation? We are looking forward to it."
Fang Heng seemed to be gearing up and eager to give it a try. Perhaps the successful cooperation with Sanqing gave him bolder ideas.
Wei Kang immediately remembered what he said last time.
The aerospace center wants to work with Sanqing on research and development. In fact, it should entrust Sanqing to develop a portable monitor the size of a smart watch.
Not only must it have the function of 24-hour monitoring of conventional life parameters, but it must also adapt to the complex use environment of space, such as near-vacuum environment, strong radiation, microgravity, large temperature differences, aerial flight, etc.
It sounds quite difficult. Most scientific research institutions dare not set up projects without a five-year or ten-year plan.
However, this is not too difficult for Wei Kang.
He had promised the other party last time, and this thing is indeed very marketable. If the civilian version is successfully developed, it will be a dimensionality reduction blow to home monitors. Sanqing can rely on this product to gain a foothold in the field of medical devices. .
Thinking of this, Wei Kang smiled and replied.
"Understood, we want to develop a portable universal monitor, right? Then just do as we said last time. I will notify Lu Tingfeng and you can continue to cooperate."
"Great, we are ready and can start new projects at any time."
After hanging up the phone, Wei Kang couldn't help but ponder.
The module of the portable ECG monitor is drawn from the system and is not the result of Sanqing's own research and development.
If we want to continue to develop portable universal monitors, we must upgrade the system.
Fortunately, the rewards given by the system are all in the simple version at the beginning. If you want to get more features, you can only upgrade to the advanced version through points.
For example, the smart laboratory system obtained in the previous lottery was upgraded to an AI pharmaceutical system with one million points, which played a huge role in the research and development of new drugs. The latter's AI functions are far greater than those of a smart laboratory system. Too powerful.
Thinking of this, he immediately opened the system panel.
Prize: Portable monitor (module)
Color: silver
Category: Auxiliary tools
Level: Junior
Development: Medical device direction, points can be used to upgrade other functions
Function: dynamic heart monitoring
Sure enough, you can use points to upgrade.
Just like the AI pharmaceutical system, one million points should be able to handle it.
"System, upgrade the portable monitor module."
"Ding! Upgrading is in progress."
Ten seconds passed.
"Ding! The portable monitor module has been successfully upgraded."
Then, a small silver box appeared on the desk in front of him.
Familiar shape, all silvery white, crystal clear, shining with metallic light.
Wei Kang couldn't help but rub his hands in anticipation. Based on this extraordinary appearance, the contents inside would definitely not disappoint him.
"System, open the box and let me see what the prize is."
The silver box slowly opened, and a drawing slowly rose and appeared in front of him.
Wei Kang's eyes widened and he looked over.
It's still a familiar industrial design, but it's much more complicated than the last time.
Checking the properties again, sure enough, the portable detector module has undergone many changes.
Prize: Portable monitor (module)
Color: silver
Category: Auxiliary tools
Level: Advanced
Development: medical device direction
Function: A variety of monitoring functions, which can dynamically monitor blood pressure, blood oxygen, heart rate, ECG, body temperature, and respiratory rate 24 hours a day
Wei Kang was immediately shocked.
Why did it jump directly from a single function of ECG monitoring to so many functions as soon as it was upgraded?
Jump directly from beginner to advanced? Isn't there an intermediate stage?
He also thought that he could upgrade one function at a time and upgrade it a few times before achieving a grand slam.
Unexpectedly, one million points is enough to complete all-round upgrades.
Six common life parameters such as heart rate, electrocardiogram, real-time body temperature, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate can all be monitored, which can be described as a qualitative leap.
The final rendering still looks like a smart watch, which can be worn on the wrist to achieve portable monitoring functions of a variety of life parameters.
To his surprise, despite upgrading so many functions, the core module of the monitor is still very small. Compared with the old model, the size has not changed, but the integration level is much higher and the accuracy is also very high.
Not only has the number of electrodes increased to three, it also integrates a miniature photoelectric sensor that can emit near-infrared light as an incident light source to measure the light transmission intensity of the tissue bed to calculate hemoglobin concentration and blood oxygen saturation.
Similar non-destructive blood oxygen measurement instruments are also used in clinical applications. They use special instruments with sleeves. The measurement accuracy is not too high. I don’t know if the accuracy of the monitor provided by the system will be higher.
As for the relationship between respiratory rate and pulse, a normal adult has a pulse beat 4 times for every breath. The ratio of breath to pulse is 1:4. Therefore, it is not surprising that the pulse can be measured, and the respiratory rate can also be measured. .
As for blood pressure, wrist-based electronic blood pressure measuring instruments have also been released, but they also have accuracy issues.
In short, the measurement of these six conventional life parameters is not a big problem technically, but in terms of portability, integration, and accuracy, conventional products are far from meeting the needs, and there is a big gap between them and the medical level. .
In other words, products for home use are not functional, while powerful medical products are very bulky.
The only one that can be portable and easy to use is the one from Wei Kang.
It can be said to be a new breakthrough in the field of monitors.
You must know that these six conventional vital parameters include the four vital signs of body temperature, pulse, respiration and blood pressure, which are very important to the human body.
They are the pillars that maintain the body's normal activities and are indispensable. Any abnormality in any one of them will lead to serious or fatal diseases. At the same time, certain diseases can also cause changes or worsening of these four signs.
Therefore, the judgment of the four major physical signs has become an important basis for judging whether the human body is healthy or not.
For example, human body temperature is generally constant at 36-37 degrees. If there is an abnormality, an increase in body temperature often means bacterial infection, inflammation, heatstroke, influenza and other symptoms. A lower than normal body temperature is often caused by shock, heavy bleeding, malnutrition, etc. Frostbite, etc.
Normal people's breathing rhythm is uniform and the depth is appropriate. Abnormal breathing often means asthma, pneumonia, anemia, acidosis, electrolyte disorders, heart disease, uremia and other diseases.
Not to mention abnormalities in pulse and blood pressure.
Among the commonly used criteria for determining vital signs outdoors, respiration and pulse are also extremely important indicators.
Wei Kang looked at the drawing in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became. The functions were so comprehensive.
Not only can it be sold to patients as home monitors, it can even be sold to hospitals.
Patients can wear it on their wrist at any time in the ward to provide accurate medical vital parameters. With one click, they can view the patient's specific physical data. If the patient takes off the device or is in any danger, it can also alert the police.
If it is larger and connected with different monitoring accessories, the functions can be more comprehensive and professional.
In addition to being used as a small monitor, it can also be placed on a large display screen so that surgeons can more clearly see the patient's real-time physical parameters during surgery.
It is applicable to the entire monitoring process and can be used throughout pre-hospital rescue, emergency care, surgery, intensive care and critical care. It can accompany patients anytime and anywhere to keep life information connected.
It can be said that it is definitely a groundbreaking product and will surely lead the world trend.
Wei Kang quickly scanned the drawings into electronic versions and then sent them to Lu Tingfeng, asking him to find a foundry to make several sets of samples.
However, this time the smart watch design did not need to be produced by the foundry. We directly contacted Juwei and used the latter's design.
After all, Juwei's product design is really great. The appearance has been designed by experts. It is very recognizable and has a full sense of design. It looks very high-end and classy, which is in line with the aesthetics of Wei Kang, a straight business man.
Juwei is now a strategic partner of Sanqing. After learning about the research and development content of the new project, Juwei was overjoyed and expressed his full support and desire for cooperation.
For Wei Kang, the cooperation with Juwei is quite pleasant. If the portable universal monitor is to be commercialized, he will definitely consider Juwei first.
However, the primary goal now is to complete the cooperation with the space center.
This time, due to the addition of micro sensors, the module has changed from the size of a little fingernail to the size of a thumbnail.
The number of electrode pads has also been increased to three, one on the bottom of the watch and two on the wrist.
Although it is still very mini, hardware engineers still need to work hard to optimize the design and fit it into a smart watch.
After Lu Tingfeng received the drawings, he took a closer look and was astonished.
Mr. Wei is too awesome.
Can humans create this thing?
Although the technologies used are not too cutting-edge, the industrial design capabilities that can be integrated into such a small module are simply amazing.
He felt that his world view had been greatly impacted by the fact that there were such outstanding people in the world.
In comparison, I am so mediocre that I can't help but feel that life is boring.
But I am lucky to be able to follow such an awesome boss and work together in my career.
Thinking of this, he immediately became energetic again.
Moreover, when he carefully read the drawings and figured out the functions and usage scenarios, his whole body started to tremble.
Such a product is sure to become an instant hit and sell well all over the world.
As for the price, for such a high-end and comprehensive product, it is definitely not much lower.
Make it into a smart watch and sell it. It doesn’t cost ten thousand apiece, right?
If it were made into a professional monitor and sold to hospitals, it would cost RMB 20,000 to RMB 30,000 per unit.
Thinking of this, Lu Tingfeng trembled even more.
As an insider, he knows the price of monitors on the market. Sanqing's products integrate so many functions and are of such good quality that they can be sold at a high price.
Even if the price is lowered in the early stage in order to seize the market, the products of foreign medical device manufacturers can be wiped out and the entire market will be monopolized.
He seemed to see a money tree rising and growing vigorously on his seat.
Of course, he had no idea that Wei Kang did not plan to use it commercially in the short term.
At least it must meet aerospace purposes first before it can be launched into the market next year.
For now, let’s take advantage of the technical dividends of ECG monitors.
Soon, it took a week for Lu Tingfeng and his team to complete the specific product design.
With detailed drawings, the OEM can make samples very quickly. After all, the ECG monitor modules are being produced at full capacity every day.
It took another week to build the hardware for testing.
Then, Lu Tingfeng grabbed the programmers of Longtu App and hurriedly changed the software.
Fortunately, we cooperated with the Space Center last time and the various parameters of the space station were relatively complete, which can be directly applied in this aspect.
Other functions besides ECG monitoring require in-depth optimization by programmers.
No matter what product it is, the hardware is always easy to copy, but the software inside the device is the core and most valuable thing. Unless the source code is leaked, it is generally impossible for others to crack it.
Of course, a better way is to customize the chip and put special functions directly into the chip. However, this cost is too high and is rarely used in medical devices.
With the technical level of Sanqing software, it can still maintain confidentiality from beginning to end, which Lu Tingfeng is not worried about.
The software aspect is a heavy workload, but all project staff were shocked by the powerful functions of this product and devoted themselves to the work.
Improve the software as soon as possible and conduct sample tests to see how powerful the functions are.
This became a huge driving force for them to work day and night.
