全球首家数字化能量代谢监测平台在沪成立 - 2021年11月12日

Shanghai's Ruijin Hospital has announced the establishment of the world's biggest digital metabolism monitoring platform. With 10 rooms simulating different conditions like high temperature, low temperature and high latitude, the platform will help in the study of human metabolism and other key life data for medical research.

According to experts, energy metabolism is one of the most basic life signs. It is closely related to health and has close connection with major chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

"Enhancing basic research on energy metabolism is the key to the prevention and control of chronic diseases," said Dr Wang Weiqing, director of the National Clinical Research Center for Metabolic Diseases, which is located in Ruijin Hospital.
