The traditional medical instrumentation is now not suited for the transformation of the present healthcare model. It's an attempt to make a breakthrough on traditions to develop wearable sensors/systems. Five articles about wearable technology are selected by this special topic. And our aim is to inspire the designers of medical devices to grasp the chance and to take a vigorous action on innovatory developments, so as to satisfy the huge requirements of the healthcare market, and to open a new era of the medical device industry.

The flushing pump which is applied to clean operative wound has no temperature controlling function up to now, and doctors have to prepare the flushing fluid that has previously been warmed. The flushing pump system with medical constant temperature designed in our laboratory can absorb flushing fluid at the room temperature, and then eject flushing fluid with the temperature in accordance with the requirements of operations at a controlled constant flow rate. The system combines flow rate control with temperature control functions. The flushing pump system includes flushing part, temperature controlling part, key inputting part, liquid crystal displaying part and exceptional situation monitoring part. The present paper introduces the design method and principle of each part of the system at first, and then gives the debug method of all the system parameters. Finally the paper discusses the performance of the system according to the result of the experiment.

Aims: Evaluating more fully the forms of daytime consulting department and give some recommends to improve this model. Settings: 6 hospitals at central, provincial and district level. Method: Prospective description and assessment. Subjects: Hospital and department leaders and patients. Results: Daytime treatment department should be expanded and strengthen base on close relationship with in-patient departments, patient selection to reduce the patient load at in-patient department and apply to every level and professional departments. For daytime in-patient bed: in-patient departments should be arranged into special area with simple and flexible organization and management. It should require minimal material facilities and budget and appropriate to patients who live near from the hospital, reduce the nighttime in-patient load and apply to every level and speciality

A cross sectional study on real situation of professional equipments was carried out on 11 centers for preventive medicine in some provinces and cities during 2003-2004 periods. The result showed that: the equipment at provincial level was poor in kind, deficient in quantity, backward in quality and rate of amortization of these equipment was high. Part of the professional and auxiliary equipments were bought newly but it wasn’t enough to meet now working demand
