It is not only the doctor who suffers, but also the patient and the patient's family. Such a result is absolutely unacceptable to everyone, but it must be accepted. For the patient, his life below will be obviously dark.
His lifestyle will undergo tremendous changes. No matter what he was doing before, he will lose his previous ability to work after becoming blind.
Therefore, compared with patients with other disabilities, blind patients are actually more pitiful and helpless. Although all sectors of society have become more and more friendly to the blind people in recent years, helping and improving their living standards as much as possible, but the blind people
Inconvenience is basically a constant throughout their lives, and if it cannot be solved, there is nothing that can be done to help them get out of their predicament.
And now, the smart bionic electronic eye technology launched by Wu Hao and others has undoubtedly given everyone hope. The technology that everyone thought was impossible for a long time has indeed appeared, and for the first time
The first appearance shocked the world.
Although this technology is not yet on the market, many people have begun to inquire and apply, and there are also many medical institutions and charity organizations that have taken the initiative to cooperate with Wu Hao and others, hoping to promote this technology as soon as possible
Go to the ground and help all patients in need.
It is also with the help of these people that compared to the intelligent bionic artificial heart, the clinical trial of this intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic eye is more smooth, and it has now entered a larger-scale Phase II clinical trial.
CCTV reporters interviewed many patients this time and recorded their entire treatment process. At first, everyone thought it was a very complicated operation, but after watching it, they found that the operation was very simple, especially after
With the intervention of the medical intelligent multi-tentacle surgical robot, the entire surgical process went very smoothly. Although the entire treatment cycle was relatively long, it was very smooth and no unexpected incidents occurred.
In particular, it was reported that the patient felt the excitement and madness when wearing the smart bionic electronic prosthetic eye for the first time, which made the audience moved.
What follows is a process of witnessing a miracle. As the patient gradually recovers and adapts, the pictures he sees become clearer and clearer, especially the final scene of reading to a magazine, which makes all the audience so excited that they can't help but applaud.
I have to say, this is a miracle.
Compared with the intelligent bionic artificial heart, it seems that this intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic eye technology should be recorded in the history of modern medical development. It will become an iconic technology product in the field of ophthalmology and even brain science and technology, and will be remembered by future generations.
What makes everyone even more happy is that Zhang Jun said in a later interview that they will do their best to control the R&D and manufacturing costs of this technology, thereby reducing the related prices so that more blind patients can use this technology.
product.
And Zhang Jun also listed a three-step plan. Currently, this smart bionic electronic prosthetic eye is still in the clinical trial stage. There is no mass production, so it is expensive. The price of each pair of smart bionic electronic prosthetic eyes exceeds one million.
Next, they will further compress the price, controlling it to around 6 to 7 million per pair. The second part will start trial production, increase production and reduce costs, and control the price to 4 to 500,000.
In the third step, with the large-scale production, the increase in output will also reduce the production and manufacturing costs, thereby controlling the price to around 200,000 to 300,000 per pair.
This price is very conscientious. As Wu Hao said at the press conference, a denture costs tens of thousands, let alone such an important organ.
Even without this comparison, just say that the ears are as important as the eyes. The price of a cochlear implant worn by some deaf-mute people is not cheap. Domestic ones cost hundreds of thousands, and imported ones cost hundreds of thousands. And
The price of Wu Hao and his pair of smart bionic electronic prosthetic eyes was finally controlled at 20,000 to 300,000 yuan, which is very conscientious. After all, compared with cochlear implant technology and its implantation surgery, the smart bionic electronic prosthetic eyes themselves are
The technology and difficulty of the transplantation surgery are much more complicated and difficult.
Is such a price expensive? Of course it is. Especially for vulnerable groups such as blind patients, such a price is also very expensive and cannot be afforded by many people.
However, in horizontal comparison, especially when compared with other products, this price is definitely more conscientious. Regarding the final price quoted by Zhang Jun, the public also approved and praised it. After all, they all knew after some introduction,
It is not easy to develop such a technology and a product, and the investment is astronomical. If it is just to generate electricity for love, then who will dare to engage in technological innovation in the future.
Therefore, while netizens affirmed this price strategy, they began to make plans one after another. Some suggested setting up a public welfare fund to collect social donations to help and provide services to all blind patients who undergo intelligent bionic electronic eye transplantation. In this way,
Blind patients only need to pay part of the cost, and then the public welfare fund will subsidize part of it to help them receive smart bionic electronic eye transplants, allowing them to regain their sight.
There are also suggestions to allow this smart bionic electronic prosthetic eye to directly enter medical insurance and conduct centralized procurement negotiations. In this way, the market can be used to exchange for the largest price reduction, so that all patients and groups in need can benefit. As for entering medical insurance, then
It can help those groups in need of help to the greatest extent, so that they can truly benefit.
Others suggest that this technology should be made public directly and allowed to be co-produced by other pharmaceutical companies, which can reduce the price. As for the losses of Haoyu Technology, it can be compensated through tax cuts, subsidies, and social welfare funds.
However, such a proposal was immediately rejected. If this was the case, ordinary patients might be able to benefit. However, Haoyu Technology, as a developer, suffered huge losses and unfair treatment for no reason. This is undoubtedly a reflection of its efforts in technological innovation.
It is a heavy blow to enterprises, and the adverse effects will directly affect the overall development of our country in technological innovation.
There are many similar suggestions, but Wu Hao and the others have not responded to them. At this time, it is better not to say anything than to say it. As for centralized procurement and inclusion of medical insurance co-ordination, they are happy to see the results. Of course, the premise is that they will benefit.
,This is the most important.
As mentioned before, they are a company, not a charity. As long as it is beneficial to them, then why should they refuse? If there is no benefit, why should they agree? After all, they have developed to
