On June 14, 2025, the unveiling ceremony of the Centre for Future Health and Intelligent Exercise (FITX) of the Global Institute of Future Technology took place in Conference Room 200 of the college. Key attendees included Xu Lin, Director of the International Exchange Office of the Medical College, Sun Jielin, Vice President of the Institute of Translational Medicine, and Chen Weidong, Executive Vice President of the Institute of Medical Robotics. Ni Jun, the president of GIFT, Ge Tianshu, the Party secretary, Jin Sun, the executive president, and other leaders and faculty members of the college. The ceremony was presided over by Professor Cheng Shulin, the director of the Centre for Future Health and Intelligent Exercise.
After the unveiling ceremony, Professor Wang Jingchuan, the executive director of the FITX, reported to the experts present on the center's construction plan and expected achievements. The center focuses on five major research directions: sports polymorphism and chronic disease prevention and treatment, sports multi-omics and "sports pills", sports 3D vision and embodied intelligence optimization, digital health and sports robots, and standardization of sports and medicine integration and wearable technology. The center is committed to building a leading domestic and world-class research platform for future health and intelligent sports, and promoting the systematic and standardized development of the "integration of sports and medicine".
President Ni Jun emphasized in his concluding remarks that since its establishment, the GIFT has prioritized addressing the two major future challenges of Earth`s health and human health. FITX centers its efforts around the concept of "Active health", which is highly consistent with the development direction of the college. The "Employee Sports and Health Project" jointly carried out by the center and CATL is progressing smoothly and has achieved remarkable results in promoting the physical and mental health of employees and enhancing work efficiency. We hope that the center's active health strategy - which incorporates exercise physiology and promotes intelligent exercise as a non-pharmaceutical intervention - will increasingly contribute to disease prevention and health management.
