In such a "Shared" age, a variety of projects take on a "Shared" aura, and perhaps medical devices can be "Shared".
Citizen: better buy new than add money
Mobike has opened a "sharing age" in China, and "sharing" has gradually pervaded everyone's life. In recent days, journalists have found that most citizens pay more attention to "whether they are worth" rather than "whether they are necessary" when purchasing medical equipment. Nanan distract Mr Xu, a few years ago because of sports injuries, wheelchair need to take time, learned that rent a wheelchair to 15 yuan/days, just bought a new one, "rent half a month to 225 yuan, 400 yuan to buy a cheap only, not add money to buy a car."

A ventilator salesman in yuzhong district said. These expensive medical devices are mostly idle after being "needed" for a while. "Customers bought a nursing bed and then asked if we could recycle it because we couldn't use it." A medical equipment salesman in dadukou district said.
Merchants: the rental market is a small profit
Is there really no market for "sharing" medical devices? Nanan distract chan told reporters, hometown grandpa will come every year New Year's day, he walked slowly, want to rent a wheelchair, go out to walk around him, but it is difficult to rent, so we have to forget about it, "there are 'Shared cycling' why not 'Shared wheelchair'".

The particularity of medical equipment demand is limited, the merchant's small profit difficult market, "like rent a breathing machine is the person of a particular disease, or is unable to afford the cost of ICU patients, to rent are less." "Said one ventilator salesman. This kind of medical equipment, such as wheelchair, has a large demand, and most of the medical equipment stores adjacent to the hospital are leasing and selling. The sales staff said, "the wheelchair 15 yuan for one more day, sometimes encounter not honored guest," the last time there was a guest to come up with 500 yuan deposit, only gave 200 yuan, the wheelchair rent away never come back. "
In addition, the reporter also relates to a healthy home sales, the sales staff said: "the leasing business far less installation special elderly household appliance business, lease this aspect also needs to develop."

Sharing of medical information and medical resources
In the era of "sharing economy", renting is similar to "sharing" in the form of "sharing", and users are paying for the right to use other people's things. This has led many to equate leasing with "sharing". Jiang wei, an MBA professor at chongqing university of business and technology, says the two are fundamentally different business ideas. "The key word for leasing is' rent ', while 'sharing' emphasizes' sharing '." Jiang wei pointed out that the medical device "sharing" conform to the requirements of the standardization and high frequency is Shared economic innovation, in other words, "to meet the common needs a large number of users, and the user a single use time is short, a single user or multiple users using high frequency of the same item."
