Chapter 2412 As long as you can recover your health, no matter how much money you spend, its worth it
Of course, pharmaceutical companies are not entirely without fault. Some pharmaceutical giants deliberately raise the prices of drugs, resulting in the prices of these drugs being too high and making many patients unaffordable. This in itself is a kind of cruel exploitation. These countries and regions adopt this approach.
This method can be regarded as a last resort confrontation to a certain extent, but this method of confrontation is quite controversial.
It’s hard to say whether Wu Hao’s smart bionic electronic prostheses, medical smart mechanical exoskeletons, and smart bionic electronic prosthetic eyes are expensive.
Because compared with the price and performance of similar products at home and abroad, the prices of these products are really too cheap. Moreover, they are still cheaper than similar products, and their performance is much, much higher.
It is said that the majority of patients should be satisfied, but the fact is exactly the opposite. Many patients think that the price is still too expensive. There is no way this group has a large number of people, and there are all kinds of people. In addition, this group itself is unable to work due to disabilities and other reasons.
Therefore, income levels are generally low, so it is difficult to afford excessively high prices.
Even though the prices of these products are already very cheap, there are still many people who cannot afford them and they still think the prices are too expensive.
And for these patients, the hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of medical devices are only one aspect, and there is also the cost of the entire treatment, which is also the bulk. This includes related surgical transplant costs, routine treatment costs, and the subsequent recovery of these medical devices.
Training costs, etc., add up to a huge number, which is not necessarily much cheaper than the price of medical equipment.
This is also the reason why many of these disabled patients still cannot afford this cost.
So it is actually very difficult to significantly reduce the cost and price of these medical devices. The reason why we say this is because these medical devices involve personalized customization.
We are different from each other. In addition to individual personalities and souls, there are also great differences in the height, weight, skin color, blood type, etc. of our limbs. For example, different people have different limb thicknesses and lengths, which also makes for
The intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic limbs worn by the patient can be sufficiently matched and consistent with the proportions of the limbs, so these limbs need to be specially customized. This kind of individual special customization is of course very expensive.
In addition to the thickness and length of the limbs, there is also the proportion of each limb segment. Some people's fingers may be longer, some people's fingers may be shorter, and people's skin colors are also different. Men's and women's hands are also very different.
You can't give a female patient a man's thick hand, or a male patient a woman's delicate hand. This is obviously not good.
These cannot be mass-produced and can only be customized based on measurement data. The production process is complicated and the price has gone up.
Some people think about whether centralized procurement can be used. This method is actually feasible to a certain extent, but it is also difficult. Because Wu Hao and others have set the cost price relatively low, and there is not much room for concessions.
.And this thing itself is a high-end medical product, and it is basically impossible to join the medical insurance. Also because it is expensive, if the quantity is not reached through centralized procurement, there will naturally be no room for maneuver.
Of course, there are some products that can be mass-produced, such as smart bionic electronic prosthetic eyes, which can be mass-produced. However, even if mass-produced, the price cannot be reduced much, because it is a high-end product in itself.
Medical device products are very expensive. Moreover, the related transplant surgery is also very complicated and the cost of the surgery will be very expensive, so the overall price will be relatively expensive.
However, compared to the price, smart bionic electronic prosthetic eyes can help blind patients regain their sight. This is something no amount of money can compare with. Therefore, for these patients, as long as they can restore their health, it is worth spending any amount of money.
.
Wu Hao and the others are now opening up some of their product patented technologies to domestic and foreign medical device companies. This does not mean that it is free, but that it is charged. Moreover, only part of the patented technology is available, and the core technology, including the core algorithm of the system, is still in their hands.
Therefore, even if these companies produce related smart medical device products, they are still controlled by them. And through the channels of local medical device companies in these countries and regions, their products can also enter the markets of these countries and regions, which provides a good foundation for the future.
It has created the conditions for Haoyu Medical to become an internationally renowned and powerful medical enterprise brand.
Don't other companies understand this calculation of Wu Hao and others? No, they see it very clearly. This is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy. It is placed in front of everyone. For these pharmaceutical companies, as long as they make profits,
Why not do it.
Returning to the press conference, Wu Hao stood on the stage and waited for the cheers and applause from the audience to subside. Then he continued unhurriedly: "In addition to these external wearable smart bionic medical devices, we are also
Huge breakthroughs have been made in the field of human intelligent bionic electronic organs. At present, we have developed an intelligent bionic artificial heart that can perfectly simulate all functions of the human heart, as well as an intelligent bionic artificial kidney, and an intelligent bionic artificial liver that is in the process of being developed and has achieved breakthroughs.
.
Yes, we have conducted bionic research on the three most important organs and tissues in the human body, and have made huge breakthroughs in key technologies.
Take the smart bionic artificial heart that we have put into clinical trials as an example. Our phase 2 clinical trials have basically come to an end. From the phase 1 clinical trials to the phase 2 clinical trials, we have successfully treated nearly 500 patients with heart failure.
And patients with severe heart disease have completed smart bionic artificial heart transplant surgeries.
At present, among the nearly 500 patients, except for a very small number of them, whose postoperative recovery is poor due to other diseases caused by long-term heart disease, and a few people died of complications, most of the other patients have poor postoperative recovery.
Their condition is very good and they have basically reached the level of complete recovery.
After transplanting our intelligent bionic artificial heart, these patients can basically return to normal levels, and may even be better than normal people in some aspects.
Maybe when ordinary people run for a while, their heartbeats will be very fast, which will cause you to have a very bad reaction. But with the intelligent bionic artificial heart, these are not problems, so it can support the wearer to complete some more strenuous exercises.
Many of our patients have returned to normal life after surgery. They live, work, and exercise like normal people. Some have become well-known local athletes, and some have even begun to try some extreme sports.
Let’s get to know this ordinary yet special group through a short video.”
