The five-day segment of the world's largest trade fair opened on Friday, showcasing frontier achievements in fields such as smart healthcare, functional textiles, and green materials, with an exhibition area of 515,000 square meters and 25,000 booths. Walking through the exhibition, visitors see that medical innovation is no longer confined to technical parameters. It is being designed to accompany patients through every stage of treatment. In the exhibition hall, surgical robots allow doctors to operate with clear 3D vision and flexible wrist-like instruments, while requiring only minimal network support. According to exhibitors, in some cases, a simple mobile connection is enough to keep the system running. This lowers deployment thresholds and makes advanced surgery more accessible. Earlier this year, one such robot enabled a doctor in Chengdu, capital of the southwestern province of Sichuan, to complete a gastric surgery for a patient in Brazil, spanning half the globe. High-tech rehabilitation devices are emerging among the most engaging exhibits. Mobile robots capable of navigating stairs and slopes, along with brain-machine interface exoskeletons that help stroke patients regain mobility, show how innovation is being applied to everyday needs. These practical devices have attracted strong interest from international buyers, especially those from the United States, Europe and Mexico. Artificial intelligence is extending its role in medical imaging. In the exhibition, large-scale models on display can analyze X-rays and CT scans to detect conditions ranging from kidney stones to cardiovascular blockages. Exhibitors say the technology can help transfer the expertise of senior doctors from top-tier hospitals to community clinics, helping improve access to quality healthcare nationwide. Since June last year, the system has already been used in multiple hospitals, which can help find problems in 32 human organs and produce 92 auxiliary models to support doctors in screening and diagnosis, according to exhibitors. Established in 1957, the Canton Fair is held twice a year in Guangzhou. It is the longest-running of several comprehensive international trade events in China, and has been hailed as the barometer of the country's foreign trade. The first phase of the 139th edition of the Canton Fair ran from April 15 to 19, followed by the second phase from April 23 to 27.
