The team used TMI’s portable ultrasound scoliosis assessment system to conduct scoliosis screening and evaluation for children in Ganzi, which the local government and people greatly appreciated.
TMI will continue to promote the innovative development of medical imaging technology and do its best to contribute to the progress of the medical industry and human health.
Scoliosis is the third disease endangering the health of Chinese children and adolescents.
According to public information, the incidence of scoliosis in China is about 2% to 3%, and the incidence has increased significantly in recent years, with a younger onset age.
The State Council’s Fourteenth Five-Year national health plan stipulates including scoliosis in the basic public health services, promoting the opening and sharing of public stadiums and school stadiums, setting up scientific fitness clinics in community medical and health institutions, providing physical fitness guidance for people with special needs, strengthening non-medical health interventions, establishing and improving the bank of sports prescriptions, and facilitating the application of prescriptions.
In the post-epidemic era, the market scale of rehabilitation medical services will continue to grow with the acceleration of population ageing, the awakening of national rehabilitation awareness and the strong promotion of national policies. In 2025, the domestic sports population is expected to reach 500 million people.
The incidence of diseases related to sports injuries will increase, and 100 million people in Mainland China will need treatment and services for sports injuries and diseases.
In 2025, the size of China’s rehabilitation medical services market is forecasted to reach 268.6 billion yuan, and the CAGR from 2022 to 2025 will be about 38.5%.
The overall market has excellent prospects for future growth, and the potential market size of TMI’s 3D musculoskeletal chronic disease assessment and sports rehabilitation product line can reach 10 billion in Mainland China alone.
“The commercialization of innovative technologies developed in universities is often difficult and involves a complicated process. After years of technological exploration, TMI has made Scolioscan a successful example. The Company has entered a stage of rapid production of Scolioscan and the development of new product lines. By the end of this year, we expect to complete the installation for no less than 100 partners in China, covering the orthopedics and rehabilitation departments in grade-A tertiary hospitals and specialized hospitals and clinics. We are processing our FDA application and have plans to enter the US market in 2024. The capital investment from well-known investment institutions in our Pre-A round financing represents not only a high degree of recognition and trust of TMI’s business prospects and potential by the investors but also an affirmation of the team’s efforts. The Implementation Path of Sports Therapy for Adolescent Scoliosis under the Guidance of Sports Medicine Integration – Based on Expert Consensus published in the first issue of the Journal of Chinese Preventive Medicine in 2023 was written by the Exercise and Sports Health Branch of the Chinese Society of Preventive Medicine with the participation of a wide range of renowned experts in the domestic medical field and sports health field.
It adopted and affirmed the opinions put forward by TMI as a representative of the industry’s leading technology.
The positioning of TMI’s 3D ultrasound series products is the preferred radiation-free medical assessment tool for the prevention and treatment of scientific exercise and musculoskeletal chronic disease. In the future, the TMI team will also focus on promoting the development of sports-medicine integration products to achieve radiation-free, continuous and consistent 3D ultrasound visual feedback and evaluation of muscles, ligaments and joint injuries and bone deformations.
As the demand for minimally invasive treatment continues to grow, TMI will break the boundaries of medical technology to provide non-medical institutions and families with assessment and treatment programs for the screening and treatment of scoliosis and other musculoskeletal chronic diseases and professional, scientific sports training and rehabilitation. Patients can conduct rehabilitation training such as poor posture adjustment, chronic disease sports intervention and chronic pain intervention under the guidance of the APP,” said Ms. Han Mingzhu, CEO and Managing Partner of TMI.
Medical equipment is a strategic focus of Fosun Pharma. Dr. Yang Ying, Vice President and Chief Investment Officer of the medical equipment division of Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Group) Co., Ltd., said, “The medical equipment industry has the ability and potential for sustainable development.
As a global medical and healthcare group driven by innovation, Fosun Pharma focuses on teams and enterprises in the field of medical equipment that are strong in research and development of underlying core technologies with significant clinical value.
TMI thinks out of the box to integrate artificial intelligence technology with diagnostic ultrasound technology and create a high-performance, radiation-free orthopedic diagnostic device. We look forward to seeing its technology platform expand to more clinical areas and benefit more patients. Fosun Pharma’s shareholding subsidiary, Chindex Medical Limited, as the exclusive national distributor of part of the company’s products, will leverage its complete commercialization network to accelerate the accessibility of these products.
