Release time:2020-04-20

Access to quality healthcare has long been a challenge for remote and underprivileged regions. To address this pressing issue, EDAN has taken a pivotal step by launching the "Aid of Remote Areas and Poverty Alleviation Through Remote ECG Diagnosis" project in collaboration with Bao’an People’s Hospital. This initiative underscores EDAN’s commitment to leveraging technology and innovation to enhance healthcare delivery, bridging the gap for underserved populations.

At the ceremony held at Shenzhen Bao’an People’s Hospital, the “Aid of Remote Areas and Poverty Alleviation Through Remote ECG Diagnosis” project was officially unveiled. Key attendees included the hospital’s leadership team, EDAN Group executives, and representatives of its philanthropic initiative, "Lighting Up the Stars." The project provides free Remote ECG diagnosis services, encompassing expert consultations, remote teaching, and guidance tailored specifically for underserved regions.

Breaking Barriers with Remote ECG Technology

This partnership seeks to bring advanced Remote ECG services, including remote diagnosis and virtual training, to underserved regions such as Xinjiang, Tibet, Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, and Hunan. By utilizing cutting-edge technology, EDAN eliminates the barriers of time, space, and geography, ensuring timely and efficient healthcare for those who need it most.

Dr. Chen, Director of Bao’an People’s Hospital, emphasized the transformative potential of remote medical services. “Remote healthcare eliminates geographic barriers, delivering medical expertise to underserved areas at zero distance,” he noted. The hospital, recognized as the first in Shenzhen to establish a comprehensive Remote ECG diagnostic center, has integrated EDAN’s advanced software and hardware solutions with Huawei’s 5G technology. This robust system facilitates seamless collaboration within healthcare alliances, ensuring that patients in remote areas can access lifesaving care.

Supporting Rural Revitalization and a Healthy China

The construction of a robust medical and health system at the community level serves as the first line of defense for millions of rural residents. It is also a critical priority in advancing rural revitalization and building a Healthy China. To support this mission, the central government actively encourages all sectors of society to participate in health poverty alleviation initiatives.

EDAN’s project aligns closely with this vision. The initiative has already expanded to cover over 200 regions nationwide, including key areas such as Kashi (Xinjiang), Linzhi (Tibet), Baise (Guangxi), Inner Mongolia, Hunan, Hubei, Ningxia, Gansu, Guizhou, and the three northeastern provinces. This broad reach ensures that even the most remote communities have access to essential healthcare services, strengthening the nation’s first line of defense in healthcare.

Innovation for Greater Good

Hao Zhang, Chairman & CEO of EDAN, highlighted the critical role of connectivity in modern healthcare. “The future of medicine lies in serving the majority. By leveraging the Internet and healthcare alliances, we can fast-track the implementation of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment, ensuring quality care reaches remote and impoverished areas.”

EDAN’s contributions extend beyond technology. Over the past eight years, the company has invested more than 1 billion RMB in research and development, delivering solutions that address real-world clinical needs. Its innovations span ECG networks, maternal care, in vitro diagnostics, and patient monitoring, seamlessly blending advanced technology with practical utility.

A Vision for Equitable Healthcare

During a live demonstration, the project showcased its impact by connecting with a Remote ECG diagnostic center in Tibet. Despite limited resources—just 30 healthcare professionals across six townships—the system now serves all local communities, enabling lifesaving care for Tibetan residents and border patrol personnel.

Through its Remote ECG services, EDAN has empowered thousands of residents in remote areas to receive timely diagnoses and expert medical advice without the need for long-distance travel. This innovative approach strengthens the healthcare system at the community level and contributes to the national vision of Healthy China 2030, promoting health equity and accessibility for all.
