AI Technology Empowers Innovative R&D and Accelerate Breakthroughs

Fosun Pharma actively promotes AI-driven innovation. As early as 2022, Fosun Pharma formed a strategic partnership with AI pharmaceutical company Insilico Medicine, combining strengths to embark on a new journey in global AI drug R&D. In January 2025, Henlius, a subsidiary of Fosun Pharma, entered into a strategic collaboration with DP Technology for AI-assisted drug R&D, aiming to integrate AI with physical modeling to jointly advance new drug development processes. This collaboration leverages DP Technology's technical strength and project experience in the "AI for Science" field, combining expertise in drug discovery and AI computing to provide new insights for the development of biologics antibodies/ADCs and small molecule drugs targeting difficult-to-drug targets.

Building an "AI+X" Smart Healthcare Ecosystem

In medical devices sector, Fosun Aitrox, a subsidiary of Fosun Pharma, focuses on the medical AI field and is one of the few companies in China offering comprehensive AI medical service solutions across multiple departments including radiology, pathology, ultrasound, cardiology, respiratory, orthopedics, neurology, and thyroid and breast surgery. Fosun Aitrox delves into medical institutions and primary healthcare service scenarios, identifying real needs and enhancing service capabilities in core scenarios of tiered healthcare systems, including early screening, remote diagnosis, and precision medicine. Through the "AI+X" model, Fosun Aitrox collaborates deeply with top medical centers, promoting the transformation of scientific research achievements and the popularization of standardized medical systems, empowering the construction of smart diagnosis and treatment systems. Its three major AI-assisted diagnostic product lines—radiology imaging, pathology imaging, and ultrasound imaging—have been widely used clinically and have won multiple world championships in international competitions.

Fosun Aitrox's AI medical imaging products can quickly and accurately analyze medical imaging data, providing doctors with diagnostic suggestions, helping them more efficiently identify lesions and assess conditions, thereby improving diagnostic accuracy and timeliness. The application of this technology not only enhances the quality and efficiency of medical services but also benefits patients in remote and resource-scarce areas, allowing them to access high-quality medical services locally. To date, Fosun Aitrox has expanded its presence to cover 70% of China, with operating businesses in over 20 provinces, establishing nearly 10 regional smart healthcare project models. The company has released and is developing more than 70 AI products.

Additionally, Fosun Pharma's incubated company, JeDiCare, leverages its extensive experience in image navigation algorithm development and interventional consumable design, along with a global perspective, to innovatively introduce AR navigation technology into minimally invasive surgery. Its self-developed puncture surgery navigation device (AR navigation puncture positioning system) is currently under market application review. This product features proprietary "monocular vision augmented reality" technology, integrating computer vision monocular tracking and AR display technology, not only achieving precise positioning but also optimizing the positioning process. In the future, with the assistance of the AR navigation puncture positioning system, primary hospitals will also be able to perform precise thoracoscopic surgeries, bringing high-quality medical care to more patients.

Looking ahead, Fosun Pharma will continue to increase investment and exploration in AI, accelerating the construction of AI innovation across the entire industry chain through independent research and external collaborations, leading the AI transformation of the pharmaceutical industry, and contributing more wisdom and strength to the cause of human health.
