Forethought appeared at the 15th China Health Services Conference and received attention for radiation-free spine screening

At the 15th China Health Services Conference and Chinese Medical Association, Forethought brought its self-developed “Spine Data Acquisition and Analysis System – one-stop auxiliary diagnosis and treatment platform for spine health” to the exhibition, showing the spine health inspection equipment that can directly measure the spine Cobb Angle and ATR Angle without radiation. To promote the construction of healthy China and promote the high-quality development of health management.

【 Live experience 】

For the first time, the “spine data acquisition and analysis system” independently developed by Forethought attracted a lot of people to stop and experience, and the experient only needed to stand for ten seconds,Forethought’s non-radiation spine detector could complete the detection and display the cobb Angle data of the spine of the tested person on the spot. The system is a truly effective digital platform to help doctors “carry out spinal rehabilitation treatment.”

In December 2022, Forethought’s “spine Data acquisition and analysis system” has obtained a Class II medical device registration certificate, and through the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the new report confirmed that the technology has reached the “domestic leading, international advanced level”, and won a number of national invention patents. Notably, the system is the first spinal health examination device that directly measures the Cobb Angle and ATR Angle of the spine without radiation.

【 Cutting-edge technology helps screening 】

Field experts have shown great interest in the non-radiation, fast and intelligent screening mode of Forethought. The staff introduced that the detection operation method of the device is very simple, just hold the device, roll from neck 7 to waist 5, along the spine process once, and the measurement results are measured immediately. The single measurement time only takes about 10 seconds, and the detection is completely radiation-free. For the first time, spine testing can be simplified and lightweight. Whether it is doctors or parents and other non-professionals, after professional training can easily master.

The product is currently being tested and compared with Shanghai Ruijin Hospital, and the preliminary measurement results show that the device has significant consistency with X-rays. The clinical study paper will be presented in the International Journal of Radiology.

In this industry event, a number of academicians delivered speeches and reports, and many industry experts, academic authorities, and industry elites attended, in-depth exchanges and discussions on hot issues such as the practice path and development model of health service industry and health management. Forethought attended this meeting and brought the cutting-edge technological achievements of truly radiation-free spine screening, providing a new direction for the development of health services and becoming a hot spot in health management.
