從日常健康檢查、牙科護理到內視鏡檢查 構建「預防、治療、康復」全生命週期防線 守護毛孩每一步

香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年 2月 5日 – 作為香港領先的動物醫療機構，VEC 香港獸醫急症中心（VEC） 始終致力於為毛孩提供最全面、最安心的健康守護。為進一步升級「全科家庭獸醫」護理體驗，VEC 宣佈專業全科家庭獸醫 Dr. Martin 正式加盟。Dr. Martin 將主理涵蓋由日常體檢、牙科護理、老年及幼年貓狗護理，至高階內視鏡檢查的全方位門診服務，實踐「從預防到康復」的一站式健康承諾，成為寵物主人最信賴的醫療後盾。

VEC 致力於將專業的 24 小時急症機制與全方位全科護理深度融合 。VEC 擁有先進的手術室、深切治療部（ICU）及 CT 斷層掃描等醫療體系，確保從日常檢查到深度診斷皆能精準執行 。透過嚴謹的分流程序，中心能即時應對如誤吞異物等突發狀況，確保救治不延遲 ；而這套全天候的重症監護實力，更為內視鏡、牙科護理及軟組織外科服務提供了最安穩的後援 ，真正實現從預防醫學到康復階段的無縫守護 。

從「預防」出發：構建全生命週期的健康防線

VEC的專業貓狗牙科護理服務旨在保持寵物的牙齒和牙齦健康，確保毛孩活得更長壽健康。許多寵物主人或者不知道，牙科疾病是貓狗寵物中最常見的健康問題之一——高達八成的貓狗會在三歲時左右開始受牙齒問題困擾。牙齒疾病不僅會引起寵物不適，口腔中的細菌還可能進入血液並擴散至全身，從而導致更嚴重的健康狀況，如腎病、心臟病和糖尿病等。

定期的寵物牙科護理有助於預防各種健康問題，減少寵物疼痛或牙齦感染的機會。及早發現牙齒問題有助提升寵物的生活質素。擁有豐富的臨床經驗的Dr. Martin 擅長處理從幼年到老年貓狗的多元化護理需求。他深信，卓越的醫療不應僅止於「治療」，更應始於「預防」。「全科家庭醫生的角色，是陪伴毛孩走過生命的每一個階段。」Dr. Martin 表示：「透過定期的身體檢查、口腔護理及超聲波監測，我們能及早發現潛在的健康隱患，在疾病萌芽前進行干預。這不僅能減輕寵物的痛苦，更能顯著提升牠們的生活質素。」Dr. Martin 亦特別提醒寵物主人：「預防勝於治療，建議主人應留意日常中那些細微但持續的變化，例如食慾、飲水量、體重與行為模式。這往往是健康檢查中最常被忽略的一環。」

成功案例：內視鏡技術 助頑皮毛孩免除手術之苦

Dr. Martin 對內視鏡及軟組織手術擁有濃厚興趣，擅長利用先進設備進行精準診斷。他曾處理一宗令人印象深刻的急症：頑皮的積克羅素㹴犬 Taro 在主人玩桌上遊戲時，因一時好奇誤吞了一顆骰子，隨即出現嘔吐及食慾不振的情況。

面對此危急情況，Dr. Martin 憑藉豐富臨床經驗，把握黃金時間採用內視鏡技術為 Taro 取出異物。此決定成功令 Taro 在不需開刀的情況下解決危機，避免了傳統剖腹手術帶來的創傷與風險。Taro 術後恢復神速，當天即可出院回家，重拾活力。

Dr. Martin 這種準確的診斷與治療方針，正與 VEC 的理念不謀而合。現時配合 VEC 強大的 24 小時急症支援與高端設備，Dr. Martin 能更即時地為像 Taro 這類的突發個案提供高階內視鏡治療，省去轉院的時間與風險，為毛孩爭取最理想的治療效果。

三語溝通無障礙：以家人的初心與溫度守護醫患關係

除了專業醫術，Dr. Martin 的語言優勢亦為寵物治療帶來了極大的透明度與心理支撐 。他在2018年於愛丁堡大學畢業，精通英語、廣東話及普通話，他不止能主理各種軟組織外科手術，還擅長利用內視鏡技術進行治療 。這種「內外兼修」的特質，讓他能與不同背景的寵物主人進行精準且有溫度的溝通，以有效根據寵物情況選擇最合適的方案。

他奉行 「以家人的初心，守護毛孩與主人」 的行醫理念 。Dr. Martin 認為，有效的溝通能緩解主人在寵物患病時的焦慮，建立深厚的信賴關係。他亦言：「我希望每一位走進診室的主人，都能感受到這份『視寵如親』的初心。」他補充道：「當我們把病患當成自己的家人，診斷便會更有深度，治療亦會更有溫度。」 人性化的溝通模式不僅幫助解決寵物生理上的痛楚，更陪伴主人一同面對治療過程中的起伏。

除仰賴 VEC 強大的硬件設施與 24 小時急症體系，卓越的動物醫療更需要醫護人員的人文關懷與細膩溝通 。Dr. Martin 的加盟，將以人為本的「全科家庭護理」體驗貫徹始終，透過他跨領域的醫術與溝通專長，幫助毛孩家庭構建更穩固且透明的健康防線 。

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 February 2026 – In 2025, China achieved unprecedented milestones in technological innovation, from breakthroughs in artificial intelligence to advances in deep-space exploration. CGTN presents a feature article examining how these advances reflect not only industrial growth but also China’s evolving role in global innovation governance, highlighting the country’s commitment to shape international standards, foster collaboration, and address shared challenges like climate change and public health.

The World Intellectual Property Organization’s Global Innovation Index 2025 places China 10th globally for the first time, first among upper‑middle‑income economies and fifth in innovation output.

China leads the world in multiple intellectual property measures, hosts the most top‑100 innovation clusters – including the Shenzhen‑Hong Kong‑Guangzhou cluster now ranked first – and has the world’s second‑largest brand value at $1.81 trillion. Building on this momentum, China is advancing industrial leadership under its 15th Five‑Year Plan period (2026-2030).

Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) companies have developed more than 200 domestic large models and expanded AI deployment across industries. China’s “AI+” initiative integrates digital technologies with manufacturing and smart systems, and in 2025 China’s core AI industry exceeded 1 trillion yuan (about $142 billion) in scale, underscoring rapid expansion.

Alongside AI developments, China is also expanding its commercial space capabilities: Long March series rockets have launched clusters of satellites from south China’s Hainan Province, and the country has applied for frequency and orbital rights for 203,000 satellites to the International Telecommunication Union, planning a mega‑constellation by 2030 that could support a 1.2 trillion yuan industrial chain.

Complementing these industry advances, in 2023, Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed the Global Artificial Intelligence Governance Initiative, which outlines China’s constructive approach to global AI development and governance and has since informed subsequent international cooperation discussions and frameworks. In July 2025, China released the Global AI Governance Action Plan, a concrete follow‑up to the 2023 initiative that provides guidance for multilateral cooperation on secure, inclusive and human‑centered AI governance among participating countries and organizations.

China Media Group also outlined the top 10 AI trends for 2026, including globalization of AI governance, scaling computing power, widespread AI agents and multi‑modal interaction technologies.

Supporting these innovations, China strengthens R&D and institutional investment. In 2025, central state‑owned enterprises invested 1.1 trillion yuan in research and development for the fourth consecutive year and 2.5 trillion yuan in strategic emerging industries, while tax and fee reforms totaling about 10.5 trillion yuan during the 14th Five‑Year Plan period (2021-2025) boosted enterprise innovation.

Major fundamental science missions, such as Tianwen‑2 asteroid sampling and the Chang’e‑7 lunar water exploration mission, demonstrate growing long‑term research capabilities.

Looking ahead, China’s next five years of scientific and technological innovation will not be an isolated process. From satellite constellations to AI chips, each breakthrough contributes to addressing global challenges like climate change and disease control.

An innovative China, moving with openness and efficiency, is becoming a key engine for shared global progress.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 February 2026 – The Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) today successfully launched its annual flagship event, “ForeSight 2026”, at the HKPC Building, with the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES) as the strategic partner of the event. With the theme of “Empowering Hong Kong’s Innovation Ecosystem, Bridging Opportunities with the 15th Five-Year Plan”, the event brought together, both in online and offline, more than 500 government, business, industry leaders and approximately 16,000 viewers in Chinese Mainland to discuss how Hong Kong can proactively connect with the national “15th Five-Year Plan” and jointly promote innovation and industrial integration, helping enterprises achieve high-quality development and enhance international competitiveness.

The Honourable Paul CHAN Mo-po, GBM, GBS, MH, JP, Financial Secretary of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, officiated at the forum and expressed, “The country has consistently given strong support to Hong Kong’s development of innovation and technology. Whether in the ’14th Five‑Year Plan’ or in the recommendations for the ’15th Five‑Year Plan’, there is clear support for Hong Kong to develop into an international innovation and technology hub”. He added, “Looking ahead, we will continue to proactively align with national development strategies, promote the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, and further strengthen the linkage between technology and industry. We will encourage enterprises to devote more effort in research and development, expand the scope of technology applications, and nurture innovative enterprises with an international outlook and forward-looking vision, driving the economy toward a high value-added and more diversified future”.

The Honourable Sunny TAN, Chairman of Hong Kong Productivity Council, said in the closing remarks, “The ’15th Five-Year Plan’ brings significant and far-reaching development opportunities to Hong Kong. At the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee’s recent group study session, President Xi Jinping urged adopting a strategy whereby industry poses questions and science and technology provide the answers. HKPC will continue to play an active role in promoting innovation and industrial upgrading, closely echoing the overall development strategies of the national and HKSAR Government, and making good use of innovative technologies to address business challenges, providing comprehensive support to enterprises to accelerate their upgrading and transformation, enhance their competitiveness, and seize new opportunities”.

Unlocking Hong Kong’s Connectivity Advantages and Gathering Leadership Wisdom

The “ForeSight Visionary Leaders Panel” was held at the day, moderated by Mr Vincent WONG, Columnist and Media Veteran, and invited industry leaders including Ms ZHI Tao, Founder of Beijing Yunji Technology Ltd., Mr WANG Yong Chao, Founder and Chairman of Henan Oriental Materials Company Ltd., Mr Jonathan CHIU, President of Schneider Electric Hong Kong, Mr Peter YAN, JP, Director-General, Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and Mr Mohamed D. BUTT, MH, Executive Director of Hong Kong Productivity Council, to share their insights. The topic features three key areas of enterprise going global, technological empowerment and talent development, and delved into the practical experience of how enterprises can achieve innovation-driven and high-quality development under the national “15th Five-Year Plan” through Hong Kong’s role as a “bridgehead”, Chinese brands going international through Hong Kong, Hong Kong’s advantages in technical support and innovative talent gathering, and how it can provide the Chinese Mainland enterprises with a one-stop platform for upgrading and going globally.

Realising the Full Empowerment of Enterprises to “Go Global”

HKPC echoes the national and HKSAR Government’s development strategies to address business challenges and industrial technology needs. Over the years, HKPC has successfully assisted many Chinese Mainland and local enterprises in expanding overseas markets, with many of these expansions implemented in Southeast Asia, Europe, ASEAN and the Middle East, etc., achieving upgrades and internationalisation. In recent years, HKPC and OASES have jointly established an “introduction-application-growth-go global” service model to help enterprises go global, with success cases include Westwell, Yunji Technology, UNISEE, etc. HKPC will continue to work with OASES to leverage the advantages of “Made in Hong Kong” to help enterprises connecting the world through Hong Kong.

Mr Peter YAN, JP, Director-General, Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, said, “Hong Kong possesses a robust financial system, deep talent pool, and an international environment that integrates with international regulations, standards and operation practices. Coupled with the government’s relevant industry policies and long-established overseas networks, Hong Kong provides unique support for Chinese Mainland enterprises to use Hong Kong as a base to go global, as well as for overseas enterprises to development in the GBA. OASES is dedicated to attracting global strategic enterprises from five strategic I&T sectors, actively aligning with the national 15th Five-Year Plan. We provide comprehensive landing support services and assist enterprises in establishing their ‘first project’ in Hong Kong, fully leveraging Hong Kong’s role as a ‘Super Connector’ and ‘Super Value-Added’”.

At the same time, HKPC, as a member of the GoGlobal Task Force of the HKSAR Government, will continue to focus on providing “Six Tactics to Go Global” for enterprises through “The Cradle Go Global Service Centre” (The Cradle), including smart production, Technology research and development and evaluation, international standards and testing, professional services, training and on-site visits, and funding schemes, to support Hong Kong to leverage its unique advantages and empower enterprises to expand overseas with high quality.

Since its establishment in April, The Cradle has attracted more than 350 companies that have expressed interest in using its services. Among these, over 100 cases have entered a concrete follow‑up stage. Together with overseas expansion projects supported prior to its establishment, the cumulative total exceeds 450 cases.

For more details, please watch the video “Six Tactics to Go Global“.

Bringing the strengths of Government, Industry, Academia, Research and Investment to Build an Innovative Industrial Ecosystem

HKPC has been working closely with the government, industry, academia, research and investment sectors to promote new industrialisation and enhance the new quality productive forces of industries, including:

• The major project led by Harbin Institute of Technology on key technologies and equipment for circular economy: Provide dynamic identification and big data resource pool construction solutions for multi-source solid waste in megaurban agglomerations
• The project led by Jiangsu University on wheat green smart processing and key technology integration and industrialisation demonstration: Provide core technical support such as AI and the Internet of Things
• Tsinghua University: Jointly established a technology centre to focus on the industrial transformation of intelligent manufacturing and AI technology
• Zuquan Research Institute of Fudan University: Signed a cooperation agreement to promote collaboration and transformation of scientific and technological outcomes between Shanghai and Hong Kong

HKPC will continue to promote cross-sectoral dialogue between government, industry, academia, research and investment, focusing on the implementation of future industries and technology applications, and helping to build Hong Kong into a key node in the global I&T value chain.

• New AI and cloud technologies support smarter, faster, and more efficient Olympic broadcasting worldwide
• Alibaba’s Qwen powers the first use of LLM technology at the Olympics and a next-generation Olympic archive

MILAN, ITALY – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 February 2026 – Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, is partnering with Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to deploy advanced cloud and AI technologies for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.

Building on deployments at Tokyo 2020, Beijing 2022, and Paris 2024, the collaboration marks another step in the IOC’s transition toward cloud-based, AI-enabled broadcasting. These technologies are designed to enhance viewing experience for global audiences, improve operational efficiency for broadcasters, and create new ways to capture, manage, and preserve Olympic content at scale.

Dr. Feifei Li, Senior Vice President of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group, President of International Business, said: “Each Olympic Games presents unique challenges in scale, geography, and complexity. For Milano Cortina 2026, we are applying cloud and AI capabilities to make broadcasts more dynamic, workflows more efficient, and Olympic moments more accessible to audiences around the world.”

Better Views: The New Instant Replay System
For Milano Cortina 2026, Alibaba Cloud is introducing upgraded Real-Time 360º Replay systems that deliverimmersive replays with fluid camera movement and stroboscopic visual effects. Powered by AI algorithm that separate athletes from complex backgrounds such as snow and ice, the system enables three-dimensional reconstructions of key moments in as little as 15-20 seconds—fast enough for live broadcast use.

The system will be deployed across 17 sports and disciplines, including ice hockey, freestyle skiing, figure skating, and ski jumping. In addition to the BulletTime effects first introduced at Beijing 2022 to provide frame-freeze and slow-motion views, the platform now features a new Spacetime Slices capability that visualizes multiple phases of an athlete’s movement in a single composite image, allowing viewers to better understand technique and performance.

Faster Processing and Enhanced Searchability: The New Media System
OBS is currently in the early development phase of the Automatic Media Description (AMD) System powered by Alibaba’s Qwen advanced large language model. The system automatically identifies athletes and key moments, generates event descriptions, and tags video assets within seconds, significantly reducing manual processing time.

Using natural-language queries, such as “find the figure skating gold medal performance,” the OBS teams can retrieve this information almost instantly. The system improves searchability, and enables OBS teams to more easily find, develop and distribute Olympic stories across platforms.

Cloud Broadcasting: A New Standard
Cloud-based broadcasting continues to expand at Milano Cortina 2026. Since its introduction at Tokyo 2020, OBS Live Cloud has evolved from an optional service to a core distribution platform. At the Paris 2024 Games, it became the primary method for remote broadcast delivery.

For Milano Cortina 2026, the Live Cloud platform will support 39 broadcasters, delivering 428 live video feeds, including 26 in ultra-high definition streams, along with 72 audio feeds. By replacing traditional satellite links and dedicated transmission lines, cloud-based delivery reduces cost, setup time, and technical complexity, while improving flexibility and resilience.

For the first time, the OBS Olympic Video Player (OVP) will deliver high-definition live streams using Alibaba Cloud’s infrastructure, enabling smaller broadcasters to access professional-grade broadcast capabilities without heavy upfront investment.

Yiannis Exarchos, CEO, Olympic Broadcasting Services, said “Alibaba Cloud provides the foundation that makes large-scale AI possible, making our operations more efficient and unlocking new opportunities to enhance viewers’ experience and deepen their understanding of the sport and athletes’ performances on the world’s biggest stage.”

More Digital Content Than Ever
Milano Cortina 2026 will also see the largest volume of ready-to-use digital assets in Olympic history. More than 5,000 short-form pieces, including behind-the-scenes footage, highlights, and emotional reactions, will be distributed through OBS Content+, a cloud-based platform powered by Alibaba Cloud.

The platform’s advanced discovery tool allows teams worldwide to locate, edit, and publish content efficiently, regardless of location.

First Use of LLM Technologies at the Olympics and Next-Generation Olympic Archive with Alibaba’s Qwen
For Milano Cortina 2026, the IOC has introduced its first large-language-model-based system in Olympic history, powered by Alibaba’s Qwen models. The initiative, known as “Olympic AI Assistants,” supports fan engagement worldwide and internal operations across the Olympic ecosystem.

The Olympic AI Assistant, embedded on the IOC’s global website olympics.com, provides multilingual conversational support, real-time event information allowing fans to access official Olympic Games content through a chat-based interface.

The same Qwen-powered technology is being deployed at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, where visitors will have access to personalized AI audio guides that enhance the museum experience.

Internally, the IOC has launched an AI Assistant – powered by Alibaba’s Qwen large language model—on its secure portal for National Olympic Committees (NOCs). The AI tool enables NOC staff to locate documents, policies, and grant guidelines through natural language queries, with built-in multilingual translation support.

In parallel, Alibaba Cloud continues to enhance Sports AI, a cloud-based media archiving solution first introduced at the Paris 2024 Games. The upgraded solution includes AI tagging, video search, and conversational search, making the Olympics archive instantly searchable and more accessible.

Managing more than eight petabytes of historical Olympic media, the system utilizes Alibaba Cloud’s proprietary AI algorithms to automate tagging, categorization, and multimodal search across decades of content. New conversational search capabilities, powered by Alibaba’s Qwen, allow users to retrieve specific clips using simple spoken or written commands.

By integrating with the IOC’s media asset platform, Flex, the solution enables fully automatic tagging of Olympic multimedia assets, turning previously unused media assets into a living, searchable knowledge library.

Ilario Corna, Chief Technology and Information Officer, International Olympic Committee, said: “Milano Cortina 2026 marks a defining moment in the integration of AI into the Olympic Movement. Alibaba Cloud has been incredible in putting these leading capabilities to work in very practical, helpful ways—not only enhancing the everyday experience for our fans through first use of LLM technologies at the Olympics, but building intelligent systems such as Sports AI that will preserve historic Olympic moments for generations to come.”

Since Alibaba Group became a Worldwide TOP Partner of the IOC in 2017, Alibaba Cloud has played an increasingly central role in how the Olympic Games are delivered, experienced, and remembered—helping to place cloud computing and AI at the core of the world’s largest sporting event.
