China International Medical Equipment Fair (CMEF) is a long-running mainland Chinese medical-device trade fair that functions as a showcase for hospital-grade hardware, clinical software, and “smart hospital” (智慧医院) deployments, and in that context digital humans increasingly appear as front-end, human-presenting interfaces for clinical and operational workflows rather than as standalone media characters: recent CMEF coverage describes SenseTime (商汤科技) presenting an AI digital human used for patient triage and wayfinding, Neusoft Medical (东软医疗) highlighting a “NeuEVA” digital-human agent positioned to support patient communication across the admission-to-discharge journey, and Shukun Technology (数坤科技) promoting a “Digital Human Body” platform linked to imaging-driven diagnosis and broader medical large-model ecosystems, alongside research institutions such as CAIR (Chinese Academy of Sciences) exhibiting augmented-reality digital-human concepts—together indicating that CMEF is a commercialization venue where digital humans are packaged with medical AI, imaging, and hospital information systems to reduce front-desk load, standardize intake/education, and extend clinician-facing decision support into patient-facing experiences.
