More than 100 representatives from universities, medical institutions, regulatory authorities and the healthcare industry attended the launch event in Wuhan.

A New Platform for Collaborative Smart Health Innovation

The launch took place during the Smart Health Industry–University–Research–Medical Collaborative Innovation Forum, held at Wuhan University’s Luojia Villa. The event gathered more than 100 representatives from universities, hospitals, research institutions, regulatory authorities and the healthcare industry.

The R&D center is positioned as a high-level collaborative innovation platform. It combines the academic capabilities of Wuhan University’s School of Nursing, the clinical platform of Zhongnan Hospital, expertise in artificial intelligence and robotics, and YJT Group’s experience in home-use rehabilitation medical devices, product development and industrial commercialization.

The YJT–Wuhan University Smart Health R&D Center was officially launched in the presence of academic, clinical, regulatory and industry representatives.

Connecting Research, Clinical Practice and Manufacturing

Smart health innovation requires more than a single technology or product. It depends on close cooperation among researchers, healthcare professionals, engineers, manufacturers and end users. The new center is designed to support this cooperation throughout the healthcare innovation process.

Its work will focus on the full health management pathway of prevention, monitoring and rehabilitation, with the goal of exploring smart health models that can be evaluated, applied and expanded across clinical, community and home settings.

Innovation Built on Safety and Quality

During the ceremony, speakers emphasized that innovation and product safety must advance together. Smart healthcare products must maintain clear standards for safety, effectiveness and controllable quality, while risk management and quality control should be integrated throughout research, development and commercialization.

For YJT, this approach means combining technological innovation with medical, nursing and rehabilitation evaluation. It also means considering usability, compliance and long-term application from the early stages of product development rather than treating them as separate requirements at the end of the process.

Feng Yonghua, Chairman of YJT Group, highlighted the importance of integrating innovation, professional evaluation, risk management and quality control.

Multidisciplinary Perspectives on the Future of Healthcare

Following the launch ceremony, experts from nursing, clinical medicine, rehabilitation, artificial intelligence, robotics, computer science and hospital management shared their perspectives during the academic forum.

Discussions covered AI-enabled healthcare, clinical nursing, rehabilitation transformation, chronic disease management and the practical challenges involved in bringing smart health technologies into real-world use.

These multidisciplinary exchanges reflect the center’s broader purpose: to connect technical development with actual healthcare needs and create solutions that are professional, practical and suitable for clinical, community and home environments.

Experts exchanged insights on artificial intelligence, clinical nursing, rehabilitation transformation and chronic disease management.

From Products for Families to Research for Families

The launch also marked the continuation of YJT Group’s 11th “Health for Hundreds of Millions of Families” initiative. Since the initiative began in 2015, it has reflected YJT’s long-term commitment to bringing accessible healthcare and rehabilitation solutions into family life.

The new R&D center represents an important extension of that commitment—from bringing products into homes to conducting research with the needs of families in mind.

By connecting academic research, clinical knowledge, intelligent technologies and manufacturing experience, YJT aims to accelerate the responsible transformation of research outcomes into healthcare solutions that can better support active health management, postoperative rehabilitation, chronic condition management and aging-friendly care.

The new center creates a bridge connecting academic research, clinical expertise, intelligent technology and industrial application.

What This Means for YJT Partners

For YJT’s global customers and partners, the center strengthens the foundation behind future product development. It provides a broader collaborative environment for studying healthcare needs, evaluating product concepts and exploring the responsible use of artificial intelligence and smart technologies in home rehabilitation.

YJT will continue to combine research and development, testing, quality management, manufacturing and OEM/ODM customization to support international healthcare brands and distributors developing reliable home-use therapy and rehabilitation products.
