Dear young talents and future leaders of medical innovation:

On this occasion, on behalf of the Academic Committee of the Conference, I would like to express my warmest expectations to every explorer participating in the competition unit! You are standing at the top of the wave of integration of medicine and technology, shouldering the mission of promoting the advancement of human health. Frontier medicine and innovative technology are not only the stars and seas in the laboratory, but also the fire that ignites the new life of clinical practice.

Frontier exploration is the gene of medical sustainability. From gene editing to rewrite the code of life, to artificial intelligence to reconstruct diagnostic logic; from nanorobots to accurately deliver drugs, to organoid models to simulate the secrets of the human body - every technological breakthrough is reshaping the boundaries of medicine. And you are the pioneers of this change. Competition is not only a competition for creativity, but also a brave pioneering of unknown fields. Please use curiosity as a boat and critical thinking as a paddle to bravely challenge the "impossible" in the cross-fields of clinical medicine, biomedical engineering, intelligent diagnosis and treatment, and regenerative medicine.

Technology transformation is the touchstone of innovation value. No matter how ingenious the idea is, it will eventually fade if it cannot cross the gap between the laboratory and the bed. Real innovation must face clinical pain points - how to make technology more accessible? How to make treatment more accurate? How to make patients benefit more? Every solution in the competition should consider its transformation path: from prototype design to cost control, from ethical considerations to clinical adaptation. Please go deep into the hospital and get close to the patients, let the technology take root in real needs, and let research serve the dignity of life.

Youth wisdom is the core driving force for change. You have the most acute insight and the most fearless creativity. In this competition, we expect you to break down disciplinary barriers and integrate engineering, information, materials and medical wisdom; we expect you to take clinical problems as the starting point and propose solutions that are both scientifically rigorous and practically feasible; we also expect you to inspire inspiration in collaboration and achieve each other in competition. Regardless of the outcome, every brave attempt is an investment in the future of medicine.

Young friends, the progress of medicine has never been as dependent on the empowerment of technology as it is today. The creativity in your hands may breed the next breakthrough that changes clinical practice. Please use enthusiasm as a sail and science as a rudder, and be a brave wavebreaker in the journey of exploring the unknown of medicine!

I hope this competition will inspire thoughts and breed hope, and I also hope that you will become the backbone of future medical innovation!
