Digital signage to lead the health care industry into the information age
Also known as digital signage digital signage is rapidly developing in recent years, digital audio and video technology based on dynamic information distribution system, it can place at a specific time-specific advertising messages for specific populations to play. With the rapid development of information society, the medical industry and gradually integrate with the digital age, as a representative of advanced communication tools, has a \"fifth media,\" said the digital signage into the health care industry has been successful and widely used.
Timely and accurate medical information broadcast
Based on digital signage with the timeliness, accuracy, efficiency, hospital release according to different seasons disease prevention measures, disease knowledge, common sense health promotion, health promotion philosophy of life, rich in medical knowledge of patients and their families. In addition, for emergency, real-time information or notice spots, registration and emergency information dissemination through the digital signage system is also demonstrated to reduce the burden on the medical staff to improve hospital efficiency.
Vaccine Immunol functions of human
Outpatient hospital abortion lobby is the most intensive areas, come to medical patients and accompanying persons are generally required to divert to the hall through the outpatient departments and wards all through the digital signage distribution system, the hospital will be able to e-map, special clinics and departments , the authority of doctors, experts and other Vaccine Immunol information disclosure to patients and accompanying persons to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, to achieve the purpose of rapid triage groups, so that patients receive treatment as soon as possible, to reduce pain.
Digital signage regulation monotonous atmosphere of the hospital
Hospital is not a \"lucky\" place, but we have to admit that it is an integral part of life, hospital for patients is a very depressing place, but the spirit of the high tension for patients with disease remission harmful a profit. Therefore, hospitals can be animated by digital signage, phrases, news, entertainment and many other elements of the play, adjust the oppressive atmosphere, the transfer of the patient\\ s attention, create a relaxed atmosphere for medical treatment.
Digital signage to help hospitals establish a brand image
With increasing pressure on hospital survival, hospital brand value becomes evident, through the digital signage system to play videos image of the hospital has become a trend, area hospitals for patient characteristics, new drugs, new treatments and new medical equipment for publicity facilitate the patient to understand the dynamic health care treatment, instead of the traditional information dissemination tools to maximize the utilization of information on the basis of economic efficiency but also improves the hospital, really serve two purposes.
Currently, the digital hospital in China has just started, digital signage efficient, fast, timely, convenient medical information is dealing with development needs. I believe in the near future, digital signage is bound to become an important part of the medical industry.

Medical equipment industry lies in technological innovation
After nearly a year of adjustment, the current valuation of pharmaceutical stocks has dropped 25 times, the valuation of many stocks in the history of medicine at the bottom, while China\\ s medical device industry is relatively developed countries, there is still much room for development, how to treat medical device industry, development, how to grasp the investment opportunities in the medical device industry? this reporter interviewed the new wealth of the best analysts, investment securities in the pharmaceutical industry and the Universal Medicine, chief analyst Zhou Rui Fund Manager Assistant Zhou Rui.
Reporter: China\\ s economic transformation in the context of how the development prospects of the pharmaceutical industry? The future of pharmaceutical stocks in stock market capitalization will substantially increase the proportion?
Zhou Rui: ﹑ by the aging of China\\ s living standards improve, governments continue to invest and other factors, long-term growth of the pharmaceutical industry is the most established industries, such as our health care costs account for about 5% of GDP, well below the U.S. 16%. The end of 2007 to 2010, the total pharmaceutical market value of shares accounting for the ratio of A shares were 1.56%, 2.48%, 2.78%, 4.41%, October 14, 2011 accounted for 4.02%, is expected to slow this proportion will steadily improve.
Zhou Rui: We are still optimistic about the long-term development prospects of the pharmaceutical industry. First of all, has been driving factor in development of the industry have not changed, such as population aging, increasing the proportion of people suffering from chronic diseases, improve people\\ s ability to pay and so on. Secondly, after the implementation of the new medical reform nearly trillion government investment funds, health insurance coverage and a rapid increase in the level of these long-term development of the pharmaceutical industry are good. Reference to overseas experience of the industry market share of development experience, from the long-term development, pharmaceutical stocks, the proportion of total market capitalization in the stock market is expected to continue to grow.
Reporter: After the fall of this year, the pharmaceutical industry\\ s valuation is reasonable?
Zhou Rui: the pharmaceutical sector after nearly a year of adjustment, the valuation bubble has been greatly reduced. Now, if you look at earnings growth combined with the industry standard, the market has entered a range of available investment, although the pharmaceutical industry in terms of a premium valuation relative to the broader market, but compared with the vertical level of the industry\\ s history has been very low.
Zhou Rui: After a year of adjustment, the pharmaceutical sector is about 25 times the level of the overall valuation of many stocks are in the medical history of the bottom area, configuration, security is rising, with the approaching end of this year, the valuation will gradually start switching. Medical device company\\ s valuation higher than the pharmaceutical sector (major device company valuation of 35 to 40 times), mainly from medical devices and drug prices affect the performance of listed companies, rapid growth.
Reporter: China\\ s current medical device industry, stage of development, compared with developed countries, where the future direction of development?
Zhou Rui: the medical device industry over the past 30 years of development, and achieved initial results, but compared with world-class companies (income scale, technology, business, etc.), but also very long way to go. Domestic medical device industry, development of various segments are not the same, such as the commonly used medical equipment, medical supplies and medium-sized domestic enterprises is relatively mature field, in the international market competitiveness is also strong; in cardiovascular stents and orthopedic trauma and other fields, Although the local enterprises in the domestic market accounted for a dominant, but the overseas market has just started; still some areas in the initial early stage, such as heart pacemakers and cochlear implants and so on.
Way out of the domestic medical equipment industry first innovation, the high-end market to gradually take it over from the hands of transnational corporations; In addition, relying on the local market to go walking path of globalization, after all, a huge space for overseas markets.
Rui Zhou: China\\ s medical device industry is still in the formative years, is still in the process of import substitution, we compared with developed countries, the industry there are very large room to grow, mainly reflected in: the first national increase in health sector investment and the growing health needs of residents in the context of the medical device industry demand growth is very fast; second level of our technology gap between large enterprises and overseas, import substitution is very big; the last government in health insurance payments for medical devices policy weak support in overseas medical device can enter the insurance coverage is expected in this area of ??national efforts to increase compensation.
Reporter: From the investment in terms of how to seize the investment opportunities in the medical device industry? Investment logic and investment path?
Zhou Rui: medical device industry segments numerous, larger and choice as a high growth segments, such as home medical equipment, orthopedic and other implantable medical devices; on individual stock selection, in the field of high-end depends on the enterprise\\ s ability to innovate in the field of low-end horizontal expansion depends on the ability of enterprises, because the medical device industry in the future high-growth phase and huge room for growth, leading stocks tend to be relatively better choice.
Zhou Rui: If 2010 is the medical unit of the feast, more need for selection of individual stocks in 2011 because stocks differentiation intense need to find growth stocks more certainty. From the medical device industry, we are more optimistic about the influence of a brand, or can be produced with an alternative channel edge technology-driven company imported products. The first quarter of this year to next year, pharmaceutical shares will face into the market valuation, or usher in multi-year market.
Price for U.S. medical device manufacturers face more pressure
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18 morning news, a new study shows that the U.S. medical device manufacturers are facing more and more price and profit pressures, because their customers have been forced by high hospital products costs began to look at other alternative suppliers.
According to the hospital holding the purchasing organization Premier Inc.\\ s A report, the United States because of high medical and hospital equipment has been lost over $ 1 billion, and has begun to consider lower-cost alternative to purchasing equipment. Premier of the hundreds of hospitals and healthcare organizations conducted a survey, the survey highlighted the Medtronic (Medtronic Inc) and Boston Scientific Corporation (Boston Scientific Corp.) And other medical equipment manufacturers are facing critical challenges.
Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Premier\\ s chief operating officer Mike Alkire said: \"The hospital has begun to bear high costs in order to provide a high level of health care model are tired.\" Advanced Medical Technology Association of Senior Executive Vice Director David Neike Song (David Nexon), said: \"Equipment manufacturers are suggesting that these cases is that they already used, and they said no stranger to pressure on prices now between hospitals and suppliers has been very intense bargaining . \"
Domestic medical device companies force high-end market
China\\ s medical device market in recent years rapid development, the scale has reached 100 billion yuan, however, the global medical device market has already exceeded $ 300 billion for the domestic market of more than 20 times. The next few years, the global medical device market will be 4% to 6% growth rate.
Menacing giant beachhead overseas to the domestic market, \"going out\" cross-border business wins food has become an inevitable choice. However, in the \"going out\" process, the structure of the low-end products exposed China\\ s inadequate investment in research and innovation, low-tech, low value-added short board. \"Second five\" plan proposed emphasis on structural adjustment and industrial upgrading of enterprises will be able to ensure that the main form of higher profits.
Better opportunities than the export of agents
Overall demand for the international market in good condition, nearly two years, China\\ s exports of medical equipment in the global financial crisis and adverse economic catastrophe, and still maintain high growth.
Health Insurance Association last month, China announced the first half of 2011, China\\ s medical equipment import and export statistics show that exports of medical devices for the first half of $ 7.134 billion, surged 57.34% year on year, slightly less than 2 percent of imports continued to maintain large surplus. \"China\\ s medical device product quality and cheap, in great demand on the international market, continued to drive strong growth in exports of medical equipment.\" China Health Insurance Association Medical Director Cai Tianzhi the case said.
From the export structure, the low-end products still account for the vast majority of color ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, X-ray tomography instrument and other high-end varieties accounted for only 7.49%. In the top 10 export enterprises, foreign investment and joint ventures accounted for 7.
Faced with a huge global market, \"cake\", as the main force of domestic exports of medical devices in the low-end products to compete in the international market in a passive weak position, and its innovation is weak, low export prices, profits vulnerable to raw material prices, exchange rates fluctuations, competitive concern.
\"We have the traditional advantages of medical dressings, etc., are constantly improved in recent years, toward the high-tech direction. Although Mindray, higher-dimensional aspects of domestic enterprises in the export competitiveness of slightly stronger, but on the whole, the domestic shortage of local R & D however, in the future \\ second five\\ during the nation will be more emphasis on R & D enterprise in the development of previous years has accumulated a certain basis, the ability to increase investment in research and development. \"Caitian Zhi said.
In the long term, China\\ s huge potential for development of medical device companies. Analysis of gold that the current integration of the medical device industry is in the development of critical points. Research data show that the global medical device industry growth than the pharmaceutical market, the future will remain 10% to 15% compound growth rate. While the developed countries accounted for 78% of the market, however, developing countries represented by China\\ s rapidly growing market, relying on the accumulation of cost advantage and R & D to enhance the status of the industry chain.
Monita analysis, and market high hopes for the export of pharmaceutical preparations compared to high-end medical equipment export outlook is more optimistic. \"China\\ s high-end medical equipment manufacturers are likely to use low-cost and price advantage, accounting for some of the overseas sales of regulating the market share, and a breakthrough in overseas markets than expected after the results of the contribution.\"
However, the \"accelerated appreciation of the renminbi\\ s impact on export profits more and more obvious, imported inflation to a certain extent, plagued the export of medical devices. Local enterprises should strive to reduce costs, and constantly develop new products, improve the technological content of products to seeking to break through. \"Caitian Zhi said.
Monita analysis also believes that China is still export-oriented, labor supply shortages in the increasingly obvious premise, the inevitable trend of rising labor costs, which means that Chinese industrial enterprises to upgrade and enhance labor productivity and additional value is the only way out.
Force high initial success
Strong enemy arrives, the domestic enterprises poised to break through the sea. The face of foreign investment, \"go down\" to seize the low-end market, the domestic local businesses are also actively \"go to\", \"go.\"
All along, our low-end products because of the high cost of medical equipment in the international market sells. In the low-end exports of medical equipment to maintain the same benefits, while high value-added and high-end medical equipment exports has been growing steadily in the international market has room for development. China Health Insurance Association released data show that in the first half, color ultrasound diagnostic apparatus exports $ 162 million, an increase of 28.03%; X-ray tomography instrument exports $ 158 million, an increase of 23.24%; B-type ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus exports 0.81 billion, an increase of 15.96%.
Neusoft Medical, Wandong Medical, financial and medical Dunlop stronger medical device companies export performance in recent years is remarkable, they have begun to change the situation in the low-end products to high-end market forward to establish overseas marketing channels, open the European market, while continuing to explore emerging markets.
As the leading enterprises of Wandong Medical Devices has begun to dabble in high-end varieties. Previously based on primary health care institutions in low-end products, due to trapped in the government tendering and procurement costs caused by price pressure, significantly lower gross margins. Domestic market share of the first medical X-ray was the main source of profit is Wandong, but the foreign medical equipment giants continue to penetrate eroded gross margins dropped significantly.
Since 2009, Wandong embarked on structural adjustment, in the high-end products continued to increase. In its product mix in 2009, government bidding still half the product has been reduced to less than 1 / 10, the end product and the proportion of high-end products, respectively, about 1 / 3. Wandong Medical increased the DR? P digital gastrointestinal? P for Cardiovascular Angiography and MRI and other high-end large-scale equipment development and sales efforts, 30 million to 60 million in the end product revenue accounted for nearly 40%, large support equipment has become the core of the company\\ s future growth.
After adjusting to the high-end, product gross margin increased dramatically. Medical equipment gross margin from 31.16% in 2009 increased significantly to 37.08% in 2010. 2011 Daily News revealed that the first half of medical products sales income 290.9792 million yuan, profits 10,411.04 million, gross profit margin 35.78%. Among them, export revenue 15,677,600 yuan, accounting for the main business income of 5.17%. However, Wandong Medical species adjust to high-end is still the main face of the domestic market, expansion into international markets is insufficient.
Domestic open MRI and CT Neusoft also being the leading high-end market force. Neusoft also had major medical business based on the national primary health care sector, introduced from CT, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging to the X-ray, ultrasound machine, instrument and electrical products and other suitable areas, county and township primary health care sector of economical low-end medical equipment. In recent years, Neusoft actively pursued high-end medical equipment, new product development.
In April 2009, Neusoft successfully developed China\\ s independent intellectual property rights of PET to obtain market access for U.S. FDA.
