Global launch： Medtronic intelligent whole-process adaptive radiotherapy solution unveiled at the 5th China International Import Expo(CIIE)
The 5th China International Import Expo officially kicked off. The global pioneer of precision radiotherapy, Medtronic, made an appointment for five consecutive years, and launched a new generation of intelligent, precise and intelligent whole-process adaptive radiotherapy solution Elekta Harmony Pro on the spot. Through the comprehensive upgrade of the three dimensions of intelligence, whole-process and self-adaptation, it injected vitality and new kinetic energy into the efficient, accurate and personalized development of radiotherapy.
Elekta Harmony Pro, a new generation of intelligent, precise and intelligent whole-process adaptive radiotherapy solution, is the world premiere.
Innovation and simplification of design
Under the background that the global cancer incidence continues to rise, patients’ demand for radiotherapy is rising, and hospital service resources are limited, the rapid development of machine deep learning and artificial intelligence has become a powerful booster to improve the treatment efficiency and optimize the treatment effect, which has also given birth to a new generation of intelligent whole-process adaptive radiotherapy solutions.
Elekta Harmony Pro is equipped with the industry’s innovative holographic radiotherapy command center, which leads the operation convenience, treatment efficiency and safety to a higher level through minimal design, process optimization and algorithm upgrade. With the blessing of artificial intelligence and big data technology, Elekta Harmony Pro’s new human-computer interaction interface can realize the visualization of patient information, the operation process is simple and friendly, and the operation efficiency is increased by 50%. This solution will greatly improve the diagnosis and treatment efficiency of hospitals and radiotherapy institutions, and meet the actual needs of patients for high-quality and fast medical experience.
All-round speed-up of whole process management
Elekta Harmony Pro has been upgraded in three levels of "whole process, all staff and all diseases" to accelerate the efficiency from equipment manufacturing to clinical diagnosis and treatment. Based on the deep insight of 40 years of deep cultivation in China, Medtronic has perfectly integrated the international cutting-edge technology with the local demand. The delivery cycle of Elekta Harmony Pro has been shortened from the traditional 8 weeks to 2 weeks, effectively reducing the time cost of various clinics and making advanced equipment benefit patients at a faster rate.
With the excellent "hard power" empowered by artificial intelligence, Elekta Harmony Pro combines rich automation functions with precise and perfect treatment technology, which not only makes clinical collaboration more efficient, but also makes the patient’s treatment process more comfortable and convenient. The solution covers multiple diseases of tumors all over the body, and meets the individualized clinical treatment needs of different patients. The AI artificial intelligence target delineation technology adopted by the solution greatly shortens the target delineation time from tens of minutes to a few seconds, with high efficiency and higher accuracy; With the functions of intelligent positioning, automatic planning and automatic quality control, the operation efficiency of medical staff can be improved in an all-round way, and the personalized adaptive treatment process can be shortened to 10 minutes. In addition, Elekta Harmony Pro is equipped with the function of Doctor Remote Wisdom Office (RT Viewer), which supports real-time connection of multiple doctors to evaluate and confirm the treatment plan, so that high-quality radiotherapy treatment is no longer constrained by geographical and resource constraints.
On-line adaptive precision re-upgrade
As the most accurate adaptive radiotherapy solution in the whole process, Elekta Harmony Pro focuses on six treatment links: patient information identification, intelligent positioning, high-definition image guidance, automatic treatment plan, precise treatment and in-vivo real-time dose monitoring, and achieves more reliable and stable adaptive radiotherapy effect with "six precisions".
Before the start of treatment, the artificial intelligence technology carried by Elekta Harmony Pro can quickly identify and verify the patient information, link the complete diagnosis and treatment information, and automatically complete the patient placement with one click; During the treatment process, Elekta Harmony Pro will dynamically monitor the patient’s posture in the whole process, quickly capture the submillimeter displacement, and cooperate with a series of advanced image technologies and intelligent algorithms in the industry to truly realize the visualization, automation and standardization of gross tumor volume sketch and motion management, so that the tumor can’t hide. In addition, Elekta Harmony Pro can monitor the patient’s irradiation dose in real time to ensure that the dose is accurate. It can protect organs to the maximum extent and reduce radiation toxicity while irradiating gross tumor volume with high dose and high precision, and accurately protect the life and health of tumor patients with intelligent technology.
Gustaf Salford, president and CEO of Medical Corporation, said: "In the past five years, China International Import Expo(CIIE) has become the first place for many new products, the first place for cutting-edge technologies and the first place for innovative services in the world. We are honored to be the world’s first medical expert Elekta Harmony Pro, a new generation of intelligent and accurate radiotherapy solution, in China International Import Expo(CIIE). Medtronic will adhere to the patient-centered belief and continue to benefit more patients with global and local innovations. "
Gong Anming, global executive vice president and president of China, stressed: "As a foreign-funded radiotherapy enterprise that has been deeply involved in the China market for 40 years, Medtronic will continue to innovate according to local conditions, devote itself to deeply serving the radiotherapy industry in China with the world’s leading intelligent and precise radiotherapy technology, and constantly push the radiotherapy industry into a new era with a new round of technological upgrading, helping the grand goal of’ Healthy China 2030′ to be realized at an early date."
