BOE initiated the construction of the main structure for Beijing BOE Hospital, marking a significant milestone for both the company and the healthcare industry. This hospital is one of the 300 key municipal-level projects for Beijing in 2024 and is designed to serve as the headquarters of the BOE Smart IoT Hospital. Strategically located in the BOE Biotechnology Industry Base in Fangshan District, the facility will occupy an area of approximately 152 mu (10.13 hectares) and accommodate up to 1,500 beds. The Phase I project is set to open in 2026 with 1,000 beds, and the hospital aims to become a benchmark for tiered diagnosis and treatment, offering high-quality, convenient, and efficient healthcare services. This ambitious project will also create an industry cluster where technology and medicine intersect, driving the smart transformation of regional healthcare.
Feng Qiang, Party Secretary and Vice Chairman of BOE, addressed attendees at the groundbreaking ceremony and outlined the company’s vision for the Smart Engineering Medicine business, a vital component of its healthcare strategy. Over the past decade, BOE has been establishing a healthcare IoT ecosystem that centers on health management, digital hospitals, and engineering medicine products. This ecosystem aims to create an integrated environment where technology and medicine work together seamlessly to improve healthcare outcomes. The biotechnology industry base in Fangshan District is a key part of this effort, and Beijing BOE Hospital will serve as the heart of this base, embodying the integration of healthcare, education, research, industry, and application.
As a Grade III general hospital, Beijing BOE Hospital will capitalize on BOE’s expertise in display technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT), smart engineering medicine, and other innovative fields. By focusing on “complementarity, cooperation, and differentiation,” the hospital aims to position itself as a leader in medical technology, combining digital advancements with cutting-edge healthcare practices. The hospital’s focus will be on critical care, rehabilitation, emergency, and urgent care services, which will be enhanced by precision medicine and IoT technologies. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) will enable the hospital to create a digital twin—a real-time, virtual representation of the hospital’s operations—paving the way for smarter healthcare solutions.
The hospital will also become a platform for innovation, bringing together top medical professionals, researchers, and technology developers to collaborate and advance the medical field. This open innovation platform will allow for the continuous development of core competencies and the creation of a new service model that extends beyond the hospital to serve local communities and households. By engaging with prestigious universities, medical institutions, and innovative enterprises, Beijing BOE Hospital will ensure that advancements from clinical practice are rapidly applied, fostering new productive forces in the life sciences sector.
For years, BOE has been committed to exploring the vast potential of the healthcare sector. The company has uniquely blended technology and medicine to address the entire healthcare continuum, from disease prevention and treatment to wellness. BOE’s approach creates a synergistic relationship where medical needs drive the demand for technological solutions, while technology accelerates advancements in medical care. BOE’s digital hospitals in Beijing, Hefei, Chengdu, and Suzhou have already made significant strides in this direction.
With its strategy of “Empower IoT: an Opening Innovation Platform on Display,” BOE is positioning itself at the forefront of the smart transformation of healthcare. The company’s efforts aim to bring together the best of both worlds—medicine and technology—using innovative solutions that empower the healthcare industry to evolve. The Beijing BOE Hospital will serve as the cornerstone of this transformation, with the convergence of technology and healthcare offering vast potential for improving lives and advancing the field of medicine.
As a major player in the healthcare and technology sectors, BOE is set to open a new chapter in the integration of IoT and medicine. With the construction of Beijing BOE Hospital, the company aims to provide a model for other regions and institutions to follow, showcasing how the fusion of technology and healthcare can deliver smarter, more efficient, and higher-quality services to communities worldwide.
