CHENGDU, China, July 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Tianfu Software Park is one of the largest tech parks in China, we selected a batch of excellent enterprises which grown up in the park, and visited their founders or CEOs. The face-to-face communication allowed them to learn more about the latest thoughts, analyses and outlooks of the enterprises about science and technology in China. We hope this will bring inspiration to people who hope to enter the industry.

Tianfu Software Park excellent enterprise: Borns Medical Robotics Inc (also refer as "Borns") was founded by Dr. Yao Li who is a scientist at Stanford AI Lab, Stanford Robotics Lab. The China headquarters is located in Tianfu Software Park of the Chengdu High-tech Zone and Bio-Town, while the US R&D center is located in Silicon Valley. Borns mainly focuses on the application of AI medicine and is dedicated to advancing minimally invasive surgical robotics and their clinical application. The Borns team is made up of experienced roboticists and scientists from the biomedical engineering field, including the co-founder and CTO, IEEE Life Fellow, Dr. William Levine.

Dr. Yao Li received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park. He has worked as a postdoctoral research associate in biomedical engineering at the University of Southern California. Currently he is a research scientist at the Robotics Lab of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Stanford University. He is also a member of the Robotics and Laparoscopic Surgery Committee of the Chinese Society of Research Hospitals, and has had a long engagement in medical robotics and artificial intelligence medical research. He has his own unique view on the current situation and development trends of AI-Powered Minimally Invasive Surgery in China.
New Changes in Industry: AI Empowering Minimally Invasive Surgery

Regarding the biggest change in medicine in recent years, Dr. Li believes it is the "technology empowerment", especially in high-end medical devices and medical services. In 2015, "Internet Plus" was initiated as a national strategy in China. This opened a new platform for business for innovative medical devices, innovative medical services, and intelligent wearable devices. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) allows technology to empower the medical industry: medical image analysis, machine reading and intelligent diagnosis, all of which can deliver much more accurate results than an average doctor.
