WORK Medical Technology Group Ltd. has signed a strategic cooperation agreement between Work Hangzhou and the Wuxi Branch of Ruijin Hospital-Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (Xin Rui Hospital) to jointly develop artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled medical products. The collaboration represents an initiative in advancing WORK Medical’s AI strategy to accelerate the development of a next-generation, AI-driven smart clinical ecosystem.

Under the agreement, Work Hangzhou will support Xin Rui Hospital in advancing hospital informatization and AI-powered medical products.

With Xin Rui Hospital’s clinical diagnostic, treatment and expert resources, Work Hangzhou also plans to enhance its multimodal universal medical AI solution, expanding from single-image data to complex multimodal data.
