Since 2019, the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone has served as prime testing grounds for medical devices, representing the only zone in the nation where real-world data (RWD) studies can be performed easily by outside groups. In a recent international conference, industry leaders discussed the insights gleaned and products approved based on RWD studies in the region.

According to Chen Bowen, “Since the pilot project of clinical real-world data application was launched in June 2019, the Lecheng pilot zone has established in-depth cooperation with more than 80 medical device companies in 16 countries and regions. It also introduced more than 270 medical devices that are urgently needed in clinical practice abroad. Some nine products have been approved for marketing through the use of Lecheng real-world data-assisted clinical evaluation, said Feng Fei, governor of Hainan province.”
