GENEVA, May 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Edan Instruments, Inc. (300206.SZ), a leading global medical device company, participated in the Geneva Health Forum (GHF) 2025 Satellite Symposium, held as a side event of the World Health Assembly (WHA). Titled "China's Medical Technology Innovation and Its Implementation for Global Health," the event took place on May 20 in Geneva and was co-organized by Tsinghua University and the Université de Genève. It brought together innovators, policymakers, and development partners to explore how Chinese medical technology is advancing equitable healthcare, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
Representing EDAN, Co-Founder Mr. Xicheng Xie delivered a keynote sharing the company's experience in delivering accessible innovation to underserved communities. "Real innovation isn't just about cutting-edge technology — it's about bringing the right solutions to the people who need them the most," said Mr. Xie, reflecting on the company's three-decade journey and the evolving meaning of innovation.
In that spirit, Mr. Xie highlighted EDAN's efforts to develop medical technologies that are accessible, practical, and impactful in real-world settings. He shared detailed of an ongoing initiative using EDAN's Nano Series handheld diagnostic ultrasound system to support basic prenatal care in resource-limited environments. The project focuses on equipping primary healthcare workers with tools for early screening and timely referral for at-risk pregnancies. He also noted other impactful technologies, including palm-sized fetal dopplers, EDAN's IQ intelligent algorithm, and its smart ECG web platform — each designed to bridge infrastructure gaps and reduce reliance on scarce medical personnel.
With a long-standing presence across both high-end and resource-limited markets, EDAN has built a truly global footprint – from Europe to Africa. To strengthen local engagement and ensure more responsive service, it has established 22 subsidiaries worldwide. This localized support, combined with a commitment to frontline feedback, drives continuous product improvement and meaningful impact.
EDAN is also actively involved in a range of meaningful projects across LMICs, working alongside NGOs, public health agencies, and development partners. These include maternal health and women's care initiatives in South Africa, portable diagnostic deployments in West Africa, and ultrasound screening programs in Latin America. Each year, nearly 1,000 ultrasound devices are deployed globally through NGO-led programs. These partnerships not only expand access to essential care but also help build local capacity through training and support.
"At EDAN, we believe in bringing innovation and value together to improve the human condition," Xie concluded. "That mission is at the core of everything we do — from product design to global partnerships."
As EDAN celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025, the company remains steadfast in its mission to deliver innovation that matters — especially for those who need it most.

EDAN Highlights Commitment to Global Health at GHF 2025 Satellite Symposium, a Side Event of the World Health Assembly
The Freestyle+ combines compact portability, enhanced brightness and AI-powered screen optimization—bringing streaming, gaming and flexible viewing to more places and moments.
SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Samsung Electronics today announced the global launch of The Freestyle+, its latest AI-powered portable projector designed to deliver a more flexible and personalized entertainment experience across a wide range of spaces.
Unveiled ahead of CES 2026 in Las Vegas, The Freestyle+ builds on the distinctive design of the original Freestyle while introducing smarter AI capabilities, improved brightness and expanded entertainment features—allowing users to enjoy content more freely, with minimal setup or adjustment.
"The Freestyle+ reflects Samsung's vision to create displays that adapt naturally to how people live and move between spaces," said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. "By combining true portability with intelligent AI that optimizes both the viewing environment and the content itself, The Freestyle+ makes it easier to enjoy a consistent, high-quality experience wherever you are."
Smarter AI That Lets You Point and Play Instantly
At the core of The Freestyle+ is AI OptiScreen, Samsung's AI-powered screen optimization technology that automatically adjusts the picture to different spaces—so users can simply point, place and start watching.
AI OptiScreen includes a set of intelligent features designed to automatically optimize the picture across different surfaces and environments:
- 3D Auto Keystone automatically corrects distortion even when projecting onto uneven or non-flat surfaces, such as corners, curtains or angled walls
- Real-time Focus continuously adjusts focus as the projector moves or rotates, helping maintain clear, stable images without blurring or visual noise
- Screen Fit automatically adjusts the image to match the screen area when used with a compatible projector screen accessory
- Wall Calibration analyzes the color or pattern of the projection surface and minimizes visual distractions for clearer viewing
This intelligent viewing experience is further supported by Vision AI Companion, Samsung's personalized AI platform for screens, which integrates enhanced Bixby with AI services from global partners to enable more natural, conversational interaction with on-screen content.
Light to Carry, Designed for Everyday Viewing
Designed with portability in mind, The Freestyle+ features a compact cylindrical form factor that is easy to move between rooms or take on the go. With 430 ISO Lumens, it delivers nearly twice the brightness of the previous generation, helping content appear clear and engaging in everyday living environments.
Designed for everyday viewing, The Freestyle+ lets users move it freely without worrying about whether the space is "right" for projection. Its 180-degree rotating design supports projection at virtually any angle—including walls, floors and ceilings—without additional mounts or accessories, enabling flexible viewing setups that adapt naturally to different rooms and moments throughout the day.
On-the-Go Entertainment with Immersive Sound
Designed for moments beyond the living room, The Freestyle+ brings entertainment with you—without relying on external devices or fixed setups. Built-in access to Samsung TV Plus, certified OTT service partners and Samsung Gaming Hub allows users to stream, play and explore content directly from the projector without the need for external devices.
For audio, The Freestyle+ delivers immersive, room-filling sound through its built-in 360-degree speaker, tuned to produce richer, fuller audio in a compact design. Q-Symphony allows the projector to work in sync with compatible Samsung soundbars, creating a more layered and cohesive sound experience wherever it is used.
Samsung Electronics will showcase The Freestyle+ at CES 2026, taking place January 6–9 in Las Vegas, with a phased global rollout planned for the first half of the year.
