VB-Find Award is an innovative product selection activity for the medical and healthcare industry launched by Arterial.com, aiming at discovering innovative medical and healthcare products with advanced technology, meeting the clinical needs of medicine, and outstanding demonstration effect in the industry. The award invites experts from industry associations, senior investors, researchers from Eggshell Research Institute and medical industry media members to form a panel of judges, and adopts the AFIC-12Ps assessment model to weight the annual performance of the participating medical device products in four dimensions, namely application value, driving support, innovation iteration, and interactive dissemination, with a total of 12 indicators.
Forethought Medical’s self-developed “Spine 3D Digital Diagnosis and Intelligent Treatment System” was awarded the list for its innovation and market potential, which includes “Radiation-free 3D Electronic Spinal Gauge”, “Intelligent Corrective Brace”, etc. Among them, “Radiation-free 3D Electronic Spinal Gauge” is the first one in the world that can directly measure the Cobb angle of the spine without using X-ray and can also measure the ATR. The system includes “Radiation-free 3D Electronic Spinal Gauge” and “Intelligent Corrective Brace”, etc. Among them, “Radiation-free 3D Electronic Spinal Gauge” is the world’s first spinal health intelligent hardware device that can directly measure the Cobb angle of the spine without adopting X-rays and can measure the ATR at the same time, and can quickly determine whether there is scoliosis or not. The device has obtained the National Class II Medical Device Registration Certificate, EU CE and U.S. FDA certification, and through the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it has been certified as “leading in China and advanced in the world”. Whether you are a doctor or a parent or other non-professional, you can easily use this device to measure your child. And in the process of using, the whole process is non-invasive, no radiation. The “radiation-free three-dimensional electronic spinal instrument” breaks the site, technology, personnel and other constraints, can realize large-scale students spine health checkup screening activities, for the early detection, prevention and treatment of scoliosis bring breakthroughs in science and technology technology means.
In addition to the application of screening scenarios, the home product “Sapling Spinal Detector ” developed by Fusotec Medical will be launched this month. This home smart monitor is used in conjunction with the Little Tree APP, which allows the user to connect to the home version of the Sapling Spinal Detector testing device using Bluetooth, and then obtain spinal health indicators through the test. The user only needs to connect to the home version of the Sapling testing device via Bluetooth, and through the test can obtain spinal health indicators. At the same time, parents of children diagnosed with scoliosis can use the device to track and monitor their children at home during the corrective rehabilitation period, which will help doctors track and follow up the effects of the rehabilitation treatment and adjust the treatment program at any time.
Forethought’s “Spine 3D Digital Diagnosis and Intelligent Treatment System” is of great significance in accelerating early risk screening, preventing spinal curvature in children and adolescents, reducing the hazards of spinal diseases, and promoting the healthy growth of children and adolescents.
