Uniting Industry, University, and Research in Advancing Medical Innovation
In recent years, Hong Kong has made significant strides in promoting the integration of Industry, University, and Research to transform the medical innovation and technology landscape. We are excited to announce the inaugural International Cerebro-cardiovascular Medical Innovation Summit (ICMIS), co-organized by the Hong Kong Centre for Cerebro-cardiovascular Health Engineering (COCHE) and College of Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, which will be held on December 12 (Thursday), 2024.
This summit will gather leading international experts in cerebro-cardiovascular medical care, alongside representatives from Industry, University, and Research, fostering cross-disciplinary dialogue and collaboration. They include Prof. Johnny Chung Yin HO, Associate Vice-President (E), Office of the Senior Vice-President (Innovation and Enterprise), City University of Hong Kong, Prof. Jian LU, Dean, College of Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, Prof. Xiongwen LU, Dean, Management School, Fudan University, Prof. Jun PU, Vice-president, Director, Department of Cardiology, Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, etc.
The summit will feature two main sessions: "Digital Medical Innovations in Community" and "Ecosystem for Medical Innovations". These sessions will focus on exploring effective pathways for digital medical innovation and the transformation of research outcomes into practical applications, with the goal of advancing the medical innovation industry and facilitating research project implementation.
A key highlight of the event will be the signing of an MoU between the COCHE and Shanghai Innovation Bank, aimed at enhancing the development of medical innovation and technology in Hong Kong through a synergy of technological innovation and finance.

Hong Kong Centre for Cerebro-cardiovascular Health Engineering (COCHE)
In collaboration with the University of Oxford and the Karolinska Institutet, Hong Kong Centre for Cerebro-cardiovascular Health Engineering (COCHE) was established under City University of Hong Kong in 2020. The COCHE, supported financially by Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC), was admitted to Inno-Health cluster of InnoHK Programme which is a major R&D initiative of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. We are developing flexible sensing, biomedical and molecular imaging, nano-biosensing, and AI in health with the focus on innovative wearables that collect key vital signs, including but not limited to continuous blood pressure and electrocardiogram signals on an unobtrusive and real-time basis. The collected data is transmitted for further analysis and integration with other biomarkers, paving the way for the early detection and diagnosis of possible acute cerebro-cardiovascular diseases.
