BOE officially began the construction of the main structure of Beijing BOE Hospital, marking a significant milestone in the development of a healthcare facility that blends cutting-edge technology with advanced medical care. The hospital, part of the 300 key municipal projects in Beijing for 2024, is positioned to become the headquarters of BOE’s Smart IoT Hospital. Situated in the BOE Biotechnology Industry Base in Fangshan District, the hospital spans about 152 mu (10.13 hectares) and is set to feature a total of 1,500 beds. The first phase of the project, expected to be completed by 2026, will provide 1,000 beds.
Beijing BOE Hospital is poised to set a new benchmark for tiered diagnosis and treatment, with a focus on providing high-quality, accessible, and efficient healthcare services to the public. The hospital will also serve as a central hub for an industry cluster that fosters the integration of technology and medicine. This innovative approach is expected to provide a major boost to the smart transformation of the regional healthcare sector.
During the event, Feng Qiang, Party Secretary and Vice Chairman of BOE, emphasized that the Smart Engineering Medicine initiative is a key component of BOE’s broader healthcare strategy. Over the past decade, BOE has been building a healthcare IoT ecosystem focused on health management, powered by engineering medicine products and digital hospitals. The company’s vision is to create a biotechnology industry base in Fangshan District that integrates medicine, education, research, industry, and application. Beijing BOE Hospital will serve as the core platform for this initiative.
The hospital is set to operate as a Grade III general hospital and will leverage BOE’s technological strengths in areas such as display technology, IoT, and smart engineering medicine. The hospital will adopt a model based on the principles of “complementarity, cooperation, and differentiation,” aiming to become the headquarters of BOE Smart IoT Hospital. By combining these advanced technologies with healthcare services, the hospital will create a digitally-driven healthcare facility with innovative service models.
Focusing on key specialties such as critical care, rehabilitation, and emergency/urgent care, Beijing BOE Hospital will utilize state-of-the-art technologies to advance diagnostic and treatment techniques, particularly in precision medicine. The hospital plans to harness IoT and artificial intelligence to develop a digital twin, a smart healthcare innovation that will revolutionize the way patients are treated and monitored. Additionally, the hospital will establish an open innovation platform that brings together leading experts from the medical, research, and industrial fields. This collaboration will drive the development of new healthcare service models, extending beyond the hospital to serve communities and households.
Beijing BOE Hospital will also act as the centerpiece of the biotechnology industry base in Fangshan District. It will foster collaborations with top universities, medical institutions, and innovative enterprises to ensure that the latest clinical innovations are integrated into practice. This synergy between clinical expertise and technological innovation will help develop new productive forces in the life sciences sector.
