Beijing developer of ROPA, an NMPA-approved AI orthopedic surgical robot for hip and knee replacement.
Beijing Longwood Valley Medical Technology Co., Ltd., operating under the brand Changmugu, is a Chinese orthopedic AI and surgical robotics company founded on April 17, 2018 and led by CEO Dr. Zhang Yiling. The company is headquartered in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area in Tongzhou District, Beijing, with registered capital of RMB 30 million, and holds Class II and Class III medical device production and operation licenses. Changmugu has been recognized as a National High-tech Enterprise and as a national-level 'little giant' (specialized, refined, differentiated and innovative) enterprise for its work applying artificial intelligence to orthopedic surgery.
The company's core technology combines AI deep learning, 3D printing and surgical navigation to support pre-operative planning and intra-operative guidance for joint replacement surgery. Its AIJOINT AI surgical simulation and planning software, covering hip and knee applications marketed as AIHIP and AIKNEE, received what the company describes as China's first Class III innovative medical device certificate for an AI-plus-orthopedic-treatment product. In October 2024, Changmugu's ROPA orthopedic surgical robot received NMPA approval, which the company and Chinese media described as the world's first AI-plus-robot orthopedic surgical robot to reach the market, combining the AI planning software with a robotic arm for precision guidance during total hip and knee replacement procedures.
Changmugu has raised institutional financing to support its R&D and regulatory work, including an early Series A round of several tens of millions of RMB around 2020 and a Series B round of RMB 540 million completed around 2021, with investors reported to include CICC Capital, IDG Capital and CDH's VGC fund, and CEC Capital Group serving as exclusive financial advisor on the B round. The company has also established a strategic partnership with Johnson & Johnson Medical focused on orthopedic joint digitization and AI-assisted 3D precision diagnosis and treatment in China.
Through its combination of AI planning software and the NMPA-approved ROPA robotic platform, Changmugu positions itself as a domestic alternative to imported orthopedic surgical robots, targeting hospital joint replacement departments across China.
