On November 8, 2025, the "CEIC 2025 Consumer Electronics Innovation Conference Digital Health Main Forum" was successfully convened in Shenzhen.
The forum assembled over 600 participants, including representatives from premier global academic institutions, industry experts, and leading enterprises. Through five progressive segments—"Innovation Departure," "Frontier Technologies," "Industrial Applications," "Healthy Living," and "Industrial Opportunities"—the forum collectively explored cutting-edge trends and practical pathways for the cross-boundary integration of digital technology and the health industry, charting a new future for the digital health industry's development.创新启航、前沿技术、产业应用、健康生活、产业机遇”五大板块层层递进，共同探索数字技术与健康产业跨界融合的前沿趋势与实践路径，擘画数字健康产业发展的新未来。
Innovation Departure: Anchoring the New Direction for Digital Health Development
In his address, Mr. Hu Caiyong, Secretary-General of the Global Intelligent Internet of Things Consortium, pointed out thatthe convergence of digital technology and health has engendered tremendous industrial and market opportunities.。According to National Bureau of Statistics data, in the first half of 2024, per capita healthcare consumption expenditure in China reached 1,271 yuan, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.2%, accounting for 9.3% of per capita consumption expenditure. Concurrently, he called upon industrial partners to strengthen cross-national, cross-domain exchanges, stimulate more innovative thinking, generate more collaborative opportunities, and contribute wisdom and strength to the global digital health enterprise.
Frontier Technologies: Breaking Technological Barriers, Reshaping the Future of Health
Perception technology constitutes the cornerstone of artificial intelligence. Professor Zhu Rong of the Department of Precision Instrumentation at Tsinghua University introduced the latest research achievement,"Electronic Skin"—a flexible multimodal perception technology. Based on thermal induction multi-parameter sensing technology, it enables multimodal perception of pressure, temperature, and other parameters, with applications in health monitoring, intelligent robotics, and other domains, assisting in resolving precision and comfort issues in wearable devices, promoting the development of embodied intelligence, and providing safeguards for smart elderly care and healthy living.
Professor Yu-Lan He of King's College Londonfocused on research in personalized large language model assistants.She noted that when large language models achieve autonomy—capable of active exploration, long-term operation, and lifelong learning, discerning information from massive, diversified data sources and providing health guidance—every individual will possess an exclusive "health assistant," which will constitute a transformative change for the digital health industry.
产业应用：Industrial Applications: Bridging the "Last Mile" for Technology Implementation
Frontier technologies must take root in scenarios to unleash value. Mr. Gong Yuansong, Vice President of Huawei Terminal BG Smart Wearable and Sports Health Product Line,stated that through the integration of wearable devices with data from various body parts and systems and the autonomous perception capability of AI, the transformation from "disease-driven medical care" to "pre-disease prevention" can be realized.To promote the development of the digital health industry, Huawei has constructed the HUAWEI Research innovation research platform, which has collaborated with over 160 research institutions, advanced more than 200 projects, and benefited over 17 million users.
Mr. Hou Kepeng, Chairman of the Shenzhen Furniture Industry Association,proposed the concept of"Digital Health Home"—referring toa family ecosystem that provides personalized, proactive, and comprehensive health support for family members through intelligent devices, digital technology, and data insights, thereby enhancing physical and mental health and well-being.He particularly emphasized that the digital health home is not an "upgraded version of smart home," but represents an essential transformation from "convenience orientation" to "health orientation."
He expressed particular optimism regarding China's digital health home market, asserting that the digital health home will inevitably become a necessity for people's lives. He also noted that the industry currently faces numerous challenges, such as non-unified data interfaces and standards impeding data integration, concerns over health data security, and public trust in AI—especially regarding health-related content, toward which people tend to be particularly cautious.
Ms. Xiao Jia, General Manager of Government-Enterprise Cooperation at UBTECH Shenzhen, shared the current development status of humanoid robots.In the future, humanoid robots will possess expansive development prospects in domains such as health care and family companionship.。
Healthy Living: Focusing on People's Livelihood, Safeguarding Health for All Populations
The core objective of digital health is "serving people's livelihood." Professor Gesang Zereng of Sichuan Universityanalyzed parental anxiety regarding adolescent internet addiction in the digital age,noting that such anxiety stems from an imbalance in the dialogue between the social role of "I" and the inner needs of "self" in the digital world. Parents should accept the inner needs of their child's "self," repeat "positive" language more frequently, construct "positive" beliefs, and assist children in distinguishing and reconciling the identities of "I" and "self," enabling them to learn to master themselves in the digital tide rather than being swept along by it.
Professor Huang Weihong of Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, sharedhow digital technology empowers elderly health, student health, and sports health.For instance, she led the construction of the nation's first government-led provincial intelligent service platform for integrated medical and elderly care, enabling users to order home medical services as easily as ordering food delivery.
The radiation-free intelligent scoliosis rapid screening device she developed facilitates school-based screening, realizing a closed-loop intelligent management system for adolescent spinal health. In collaboration with the Sports Medicine Institute of the General Administration of Sport of China, national team sports protection and rehabilitation technologies have been transformed into sports intervention product packages, with exercise programs for special populations formulated. These programs are embedded in fitness equipment and delivered through a developed sports activation mini-program, contributing to sports health for all citizens.
Industrial Opportunities: Linking Global Resources, Inaugurating a New Chapter of Collaborative Development
Industrial development necessitates resource integration and international synergy. As the concluding segment, "Industrial Opportunities" focused on three directions: industrial services, international cooperation, and regional opportunities.产业服务、国际合作、区域机遇三大方向。
01
Industrial Services: Multi-Dimensional Resource Empowerment, Bridging the Innovation Chain
Mr. Shi Qilin, Director of Beijing Zhongguancun Information Valley, Founding Partner, and Secretary-General of the Zhongguancun Technology Entrepreneurs Association,introduced Zhongguancun Information Valley's innovation network deployment across 44 domestic cities and overseas channels,comprehensively demonstrating Zhongguancun's advantages as an innovation highland in providing enterprises with resource integration and collaborative innovation integration services.
02
International Cooperation: Digital Health Overseas Service Cooperation Signing
Mr. Chen Jun, Vice President of the China-Asia Economic Development Association,noted that Chinese digital health enterprises possess significant advantages in technological innovation, product research and development, and market application, with complete industrial chains and flourishing ecosystems, making overseas expansion an inevitable choice.。
Subsequently, Mr. Hu Dehui, General Manager of Beijing Zhongguancun Information Valley, Mr. Hu Caiyong, Secretary-General of the Global Intelligent Internet of Things Consortium, and Mr. Chen Liming, Vice President of the China-Asia Economic Development Association, jointly signed a cooperation agreement to collectively promote the "going global" of Chinese digital health technology.
03
