Weighing the risks is the primary issue that all pharmaceutical companies need to consider when going overseas. The cost of going overseas is not cheap. Not to mention the time cost required to build overseas clinical, promotion, and registration experience, the capital cost is the top priority. BeiGene provides a good reference: although it has seen the dawn of profitability, this is based on the total loss of nearly 50 billion yuan in the past five years; Legend Biotech’s overseas cost is not low either. It is estimated that it has spent at least 1 billion US dollars since the establishment of the Xidaqiolunsai project. Industry insiders commented that this is far more expensive than imagined. From the perspective of capital investment alone, it can be asserted that there are not many pharmaceutical companies that can play the two cards of “local + going overseas” at the same time. To ...
Recently, Bloomberg reported that Apple selected some employees to conduct a blood sugar APP test.

This study may allow Apple to more deeply integrate third-party blood sugar tracking into its own products. Apple has been planning blood sugar monitoring for a long time. In 2010, Jobs led the acquisition of RareLight, a non-invasive blood sugar monitoring company. In 2015, Apple’s frontier exploration department XDG took over the non-invasive blood sugar detection project and has invested a lot of money in recent years for concept verification. In February last year, Apple’s non-invasive blood sugar monitoring project was reported to have a major breakthrough. According to reports, Apple is developing a silicon photonic chip and a measurement process called “optical absorption spectroscopy”, which ...
