Guangzhou TV Station Live Report: “LINGLONG” BMD Test: Prevention and Early Intervention are Key to Osteoporosis.
October 20 every year is the World Osteoporosis Day. This date is set to raise public awareness of osteoporosis, promote the awareness that osteoporosis is preventable and treatable, reduce the risk of fractures in the elderly, and save families and the state from the huge economic and social burden caused by fractures.
The China’s theme for World Osteoporosis Day 2023 was “Strong Muscles, Healthy Bones, Preventing and Treating Osteoporosis”. On this special day, HSN actively participated in hospitals’ free clinical treatment activities in multiple cities of China, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, to screen for osteoporosis among the general public with LINGLONG AI DXA Machine.

Osteoporosis is a common bone disease, especially prevalent among middle-aged and elderly people. This disease often occurs without obvious symptoms and is only discovered when a bone fracture occurs. Therefore, regular BMD test is an important means of prevention and early detection of osteoporosis. Bone density, as the name suggests, refers to the “density of bone” and is the gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis and an important basis for doctors to predict the risk of fractures. Currently, the most commonly used methods for testing BMD are dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and ultrasound bone densitometer.
LINGLONG AI DXA Machine is one of the most advanced BMD test devices on the market. It uses dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) technology to accurately and quickly measure BMD, enabling early screening and diagnosis of osteoporosis, and it is the gold standard for osteoporosis diagnosis. Additionally, it is equipped with AI technology, which can automatically analyze test results and provide more accurate diagnostic basis for doctors. After the age of 35-40, BMD gradually decreases with age, so women over 50, perimenopausal women, and men over 60 are recommended for regular BMD test.
During the free clinical treatment, the hospital’s expert team and volunteers explained the osteoporosis knowledge in detail to the citizens who came for consultation, and used the LINGLONG AI DXA Machine to provide free BMD test for them. Many citizens expressed that through this event, they gained a deeper understanding of osteoporosis and paid more attention to their bone health.
In addition to prevention, for patients who already have osteoporosis, active drug treatment is also necessary. The imported original drug Rocaltrol, as a classic osteoporosis drug, can effectively increase BMD, prevent falls, and reduce the risk of fractures. In order to make it easier for more patients to purchase osteoporosis drugs, we have set up a purchase channel on the official account “Almighty Bone Guardian”.
“Almighty Bone Guardian” is primarily based on the WeChat official account, with a project mini-program for convenient and quick online medication purchase, free re-diagnosis and prescription as main services, along with additional services such as pharmacy navigation, electronic medical records, and patient education column.

Our goal is to raise people’s awareness of osteoporosis and attention of BMD test, and thereby prevent and detect osteoporosis early. We will continue to carry out similar free clinical treatment activities nationwide, and contribute to the public’s health with our technology and services.
