The fourteenth Five-Year Plan for Shanghai’s health development was outlined at a press conference held on Thursday, July 15.
Ms. Zong Ming, vice mayor of Shanghai mentioned the municipality’s specific goals. Three main goals for 2021-2025 are: a high-quality people-centered health service system; a health tech innovation center with global influence and a world example of a healthy city; and one of the world’s most complete public health systems.
Under the blueprint, Shanghai’s average life expectancy is to reach over 71 years old by 2025, and citizens’ health literacy rate is to surpass 36%.

Biological organisms (such as elephant trunks, octopus tentacles, and human tongues) show remarkable dexterity and self-adaptation in unstructured environments, relying on the multiple-mode actuations of the skeleton-free muscular hydrostats. In general, muscular hydrostats mainly consist of well-ranged active 3D muscle-fiber arrays bundled by passive connective tissues (Fig. 1A). By selectively actuating the active 3D muscle-fiber arrays, muscular hydrostats can generate elongation, bending, contraction and twisting. Producing such multiple-mode actuation of muscular hydrostats is an interesting but long-lasting challenge in the field of robotics.
