China News Service, November 11 (Reporter Chen Jing) Human health depends on the environment to which the body is exposed, but people do not know much about the mechanism of environmental impact on health.
Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, the Grand Science Facility of Translational Medicine took the lead in establishing a digital energy metabolism monitoring platform on the 10th, integrating 10 smart metabolism cabins with different functions, and will carry out the ultimate correlation research between body metabolism and disease.
Such a digital energy metabolism monitoring platform has not been reported before.
This indicates that the clinical research of human energy metabolism will enter a new stage of digitalization.
Energy metabolism is one of the most basic characteristics of life and is closely related to health.
In recent years, many studies have shown that energy metabolism imbalance is closely related to a series of major chronic non-communicable diseases (chronic diseases) such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer, etc. Strengthen basic research on the body's energy metabolism regulation mechanism. The key to meeting the challenge of chronic diseases.
The digital energy metabolism monitoring platform realizes high-dimensional data collection of the human body and high-precision time series analysis.

On the same day, the reporter saw that the smart metabolism cabin is a relatively closed space, and the subjects can move freely in the cabin.
According to reports, in the standard metabolism cabin, subjects can eat, sleep, and exercise in the cabin, and receive the collection of dynamic metabolism information in a non-sense way. The duration of the experiment is 24-72 hours.
Researchers will accurately collect and analyze the slight changes in the body's exhaled carbon dioxide and inhaled oxygen content caused by different external interventions to determine the body's dynamic metabolic rate.
Putting on clothes and wearable vital signs testing equipment, the reporter walked into the metabolic compartments one by one. For a while, he or she was in the Yulong Snow Mountain at an altitude of 3,000 meters, or stepped into the northwestern desert at 10 degrees Celsius, or in a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius. Tropical coconut forest area... R&D personnel have constructed a topological network of environmental exposure and formed an analog monitoring system.
It is understood that each cabin is equipped with an environmental simulation and control system, which simulates various regional environments by finely adjusting parameters such as light, sound, temperature, and humidity to test its impact on the body's energy metabolism.
Professor Wang Weiqing, director of the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of Ruijin Hospital, told reporters: Researchers are further developing the deep-sea environment.
The metabolism cabin is divided into standard metabolism cabin, resting metabolism cabin, and environmental simulation metabolism cabin according to functions.
The digital energy metabolism monitoring platform realizes high-dimensional data collection of the human body and high-precision sequence queue analysis, and can realize the real-time collection and precise analysis of more than 80 related data.
It is reported that there are about 80 research-type metabolism chambers for research use in the world, mainly distributed in North America, Europe and Asia.
However, the number of smart metabolism capsules assembled by the digital energy metabolism monitoring platform of Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine has not yet seen the right one.
Chen Erzhen, deputy dean of Ruijin Hospital, said that the intelligent metabolic monitoring platform established by director Wang Weiqing will unlock the code for the occurrence and development of more diseases and propose better intervention strategies.
It is reported that a number of innovative technologies based on the platform have applied for domestic and foreign patents, and a number of intelligent metabolism studies have been carried out, including the Chinese population metabolism measurement standard; an early disease warning model has been established; and the intelligent metabolic detection system can provide accurate diagnosis and diagnosis of diseases. Provide basis for individualized treatment, etc.
