The patient introduced next is one of the earliest patients to receive a smart bionic artificial heart transplant. He has been recovering for more than half a year and his body has returned to health. From the outside, there is nothing visible at all.
The difference is that this patient, like ordinary people, goes to work, eats and rests normally, and does some sports normally, such as playing badminton, basketball, and even swimming.
It can be said that this patient has the same physical fitness as ordinary people, and may even be better than some ordinary people. The only thing that distinguishes him from ordinary people is the surgical scar on his chest. This scar tells the people next to him
, what this patient has experienced.
But from the outside, it is just a scar on the chest, and there is nothing else. Of course, there is a difference, that is, this patient carries something similar to a power bank with him, no matter where he is.
I carry this thing with me, even when I am exercising. I have never seen him charging his smart terminal device with this device, so everyone is a little confused.
Of course, everyone around him who is familiar with him knows that this thing is an emergency backup power supply for the intelligent bionic artificial heart in his body. When the battery of the intelligent bionic artificial heart in his body is exhausted, this external
The emergency backup power supply will be actively connected for charging, or it can directly provide power to the device.
Of course, this device also has a certain emergency positioning and rescue function. When an alarm is issued, the rescue force will rush here to rescue him as soon as possible.
This patient's behavior also made the watching public question whether he had really been a severe heart disease patient and whether he had really undergone a heart transplant.
In order to answer the public's questions, reporters then accompanied the patient to the hospital for review. B-ultrasound and CT showed that there was a heart-like device beating regularly on the patient's chest. This is
Intelligent bionic artificial heart, this patient did have it transplanted.
This undoubtedly made the public exclaim and get excited. If the intelligent bionic artificial heart is like this patient after recovery, then the performance and reliability of this artificial heart really need not be said. At least for many dying people
For patients, this is undoubtedly the best choice and the only choice if they want to continue to live. Although there is an option of allogeneic heart transplantation, the uncertainty is too great and it mainly depends on fate, so basically
I won’t consider it anymore because I can’t afford to wait.
Of course, there are only a dozen patients who have completed smart bionic artificial heart transplantation. The longest patient's surgery was less than a year. How long can this heart work and how long can it extend the patient's life?
This is not clear.
But for dying patients, even one more year of life is a luxury, so if you have such an opportunity, why not give it a try.
At the end of the documentary, it was discussed that the current number of smart bionic artificial hearts is limited and cannot meet the needs of more people. The report also directly played the woman and two children who knelt at the gate for help after the previous press conference.
The article is written very rationally and objectively, analyzing the conflicts and differences between patients and Haoyu Technology from the perspective of a bystander, especially focusing on the introduction of this intelligent bionic artificial heart, which is currently in the clinical trial stage and has not obtained relevant marketing approval.
It cannot be sold on the market, so there is no way to meet the needs of these patients. If Wu Hao and others sell the rice to patients privately, they will bear relevant legal consequences, which is also a huge risk for them.
Secondly, if you agree to that woman, it will set a very bad example, which will also make countless people imitate, thus making Wu Hao and others fall into passivity.
Finally, in terms of related costs, this smart bionic artificial heart has not yet been mass-produced, so the manufacturing cost is very high. The average R&D and manufacturing cost of each smart bionic artificial heart will exceed tens of millions. At such a price
I'm afraid it's not something ordinary patients can afford. Even for Wu Hao and others, this is a large expense.
Wu Hao and others also responded to these questions. Wu Hao even appeared directly on the screen and was interviewed by reporters in person. When this question was mentioned, Wu Hao said with a smile.
"...
Since the press conference, we have also received a lot of opinions and suggestions in this regard. We attach great importance to this and have held meetings to study it.
At this stage, this smart bionic artificial heart definitely cannot be put on the market for sale, because after all, it is only in the first phase of clinical trials. We don’t know yet about the risks and unknowns of this artificial heart. So.
Selling such an unknown product to patients, especially if it is related to life safety, is disrespectful to the patients.
Therefore, we will continue to increase investment and speed up the clinical trials of the entire project, striving to make this artificial heart available as soon as possible and help more people in need.
Of course, in the face of so many patients who are waiting for this smart bionic artificial heart to save their lives, we certainly cannot remain indifferent. So after research and reporting to the relevant departments, we decided to increase the production of this smart bionic artificial heart in the laboratory and
Set aside some of it for those in need.
However, the number is limited, and we cannot help everyone. So we will set up some rules to ensure the fairness of our selection, such as adopting a lottery system. Everyone will have a chance to draw lots, and the person who wins the lottery will receive
If you don't win such an opportunity, on the one hand, you are out of luck. On the other hand, please don't be frustrated and don't give up. It's not that you didn't get selected, it's just that you are ranked low.
Such lottery ranking results will continue until subsequent clinical trials and marketing launch."
At this point, Wu Hao changed the subject and said: "Of course, the qualifications for these intelligent bionic artificial hearts are not free, and patients also need to pay part of the fee. However, because they are products produced in a laboratory, they are relatively expensive.
The cost of surgery adds up to a huge number, which is currently unaffordable for most families.
As an enterprise, we may be responsible for one or two, or a dozen, but if we are responsible for dozens or hundreds of people, it will also bring huge pressure to us. Furthermore, this is not what charity does, so we charge a fee
